Gloucester Smiles – 1896

sugared dune grass and ice blasted following Friday’s winter storm #GloucesterMA
Feb. 5, 2022 Long Beach (Rockport and Gloucester, MA.) snapshots about 8am.
How much snow?
Stone and metal surfaces are ice blasted with a fresh snow dusting 1/2″ – 2″ between Long Beach and Good Harbor Beach. By daylight, the coastal rocky shoreline between the beaches would normally reveal a highway of wildlife tracks and drama. There were none today which means the rocks are thick slick coated. Instead it’s the natural surfaces- -grass, sand, brush– worn and riveted. When they’re not icy, wildlife favor those bare surfaces.
View out the windows- glazing is ice blasted

A decision was made here

And I couldn’t agree more.
Cala’s In Manchester
Serenitee dropped a free appetizer on our account this week to celebrate 2-2-22 (yes, it’s that simple) so we decided to go back to Cala’s on Beach Street in Manchester for lunch. It was a good decision on a dreary day. The restaurant was hopping at lunchtime but we were seated quickly and Brooke served us in a friendly manner. Jim had the daily flatbread (free appetizer) and I had a chicken quesadilla. It was relaxing and the food was delicious. The menu has a nice variety and there are daily specials after 4 PM. The appetizer for lunch was a great deal, so thanks again Serenitee! I highly recommend joining their rewards program. It couldn’t be easier and the rewards are well worth it.

Life Is Short. Sin a Little
Turtle Alley Chocolates on Rogers Street in Gloucester reminds us that “Life is Short. Sin a Little.” So we stopped in search of a few little Valentine’s Day treats. As always, we found a variety of gift items (chocolate and non chocolate) and helpful staff. I got what I wanted plus a treat for myself and it didn’t break the bank. It did feel a little sinful.
