2015 Rocky Neck Plunge Is In The Books
Joey writes-
Coldest Plunge In Years! Crowd Estimated At 65% Less Than Past Years Due To Extreme Cold.
For all the folks that chickened out this year due to the extreme cold. You can just erase all the past years when it was 50 degrees out. The people that did the Plunge This Year are The Real Deal!
Congrats And Happy new Year.
*Special Note- Thanks Rabbit For Surprising Me On the Beach Driving All the Way Up From the Q! Meant A Lot!

Nichole’s Family Picks of the Weekend 1/3/15 and 1/4/15
Happy New Year!
I hope that 2015 proves to be everyone’s best year yet!
It looks like the cold weather is here to stay, but with no snow there’s no chance of sledding, snowshoeing, or cross country skiing anytime soon. There’s still plenty to do!
Pick #1
Fire and Ice Festival on The Lawn on the D
Check out the link above for the weekend’s schedule of events! It looks like a great time! And…as the 1st event of its kind, you can be a part of the history!
The Lawn on D kicks off its winter season with Winter on D’s inaugural event – Boston’s first Fire & Ice Festival!
Enjoy the chilling beauty of this winter season as The Lawn on D is magically frozen into a wonderland of ice. The Fire & Ice Festival offers fun free daytime activities and exciting winter attractions that will keep you happily frolicking in the cold including an ice labyrinth, free daytime and evening activities including kids dance parties.
The Fire & Ice Festival will feature one of the largest ice labyrinths in America that will allow visitors to walk through a glass-like maze built out of nearly 300 giant ice blocks bathed in colorful lights during the evening hours. Guests can also admire photos from world-famous adventure photographer Paul Nicklen whose polar photos of penguins, polar bears and other arctic creatures will be frozen into the ice labyrinth walls.
Watch the finest fire art performers from The Boston Circus Guild manipulate the orange and yellow hues of fire at their will. Feel the heat and watch the flames flicker and dance in the evening sky by skilled performers in an icy winter wonderland.
Got a chill? Kids and adults can warm up under the winter pavilion with a nice warm cup of cocoa! The pavilion will feature a beautifully carved ice bar, serving up seasonal favorites including apple cider and hot cocoa for the little ones, along with wine and beer for adults.
Fire & Ice Festival goers can sit by one of the many fire pits placed around on the lawn to warm their hands and feet after grabbing a bite to eat from one of our food trucks including free samples of Legal Sea Foods’world-famous chowder and good hearty bites from Stoked Pizza, The Taco Truck and Sheherazad.
Music and entertainment will be provided throughout the three day Fire & Ice Festival.
(Please note: Evening fire performances and Legal Sea Foods will not be present on January 4, 2015)
Pick #2
The Neveland Theatre Presents Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Pick #3
Skating at the outdoor rink at Market Street in Lynnfield, some bowling at Kings and a good meal….some shopping wouldn’t hurt either!
Check out the full list of restaurants and stores here!
Pick #4
As has been mentioned here on GMG before, swimming at the Cape Ann Marina is a total no brainer. Swimming, food, and drinks, oh my! For the record, the kids’ meals are $8 and come with a drink, the meal, and even a small vanilla ice cream.

New Year’s Eve, and Thankful
I stayed home today (12/31/14) because I didn’t feel that great. I had a cough at night and a muscle pain in my left leg from physical therapy. When Janet came home from work, we ate a simple dinner of chicken and wild rice, washed down with some bubbly. She went off to a girlfriend’s party, and I’ve been sitting in front of the fire. Soon I’ll be watching CNN’s Anderson Cooper and Kathy Griffin report on the Times Square festivities. To be honest, I couldn’t imagine seeing 2015, but I clearly will. Less than 11 months ago, I was in Beverly Hospital with tubes running in and out of my body, saving my life. For two months, I couldn’t roll over in bed without assistance. That’s in the past. I’ve had a year of recovery, loss of friends and family, and many challenges. I’m looking forward to Valentine’s Day. Happy New Year all.

Happy New Year’s Eve!
Wishing Everyone Peace and Joy in 2015!
My husband and I are also celebrating our anniversary. Here we are in Bermuda at the Coral Beach Club where we married and had our honeymoon.
Can you believe Tom still has that same leather jacket. It was lent to dozens of school and community plays–think West Side Story!
And that’s Tom’s selfie–he’s the original selfie-maker–or at least I had never seen anyone do that before. It’s not very easy with a film camera. He did it so effortlessly, but then again, he can also draw upside down! 
We’re so very touched by the beautiful anniversary arrangement sent by our daughter Liv and her fiance, Matt O’Rourke.
