My View of Life on the Dock
Hanukkah falls between December 7th-15th, 2023. Temple Ahavat’s community lighting ceremony to mark the beautiful Festival of Lights and hope will be held on December 12th this season.
I’m reposting a photo from last week that showed how the Lobster Trap Menorah looked in the morning snow, and at night; also public menorahs on Main Street Gloucester and Rockport. Swing by to see a new candle lit daily after sundown.

Despite the wonderfully fun and boisterous Fiesta crowd on Rogers Street, Main Street was quiet and peaceful. Tom and I went to dinner at Passports and it was a cinch to park. We had a lovely dinner and then walked to the carnival. No need to “escape” to other towns during Fiesta. Please support your local Main Street restaurants and businesses during Fiesta week.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Everywhere you go;
Take a look in the five and ten, glistening once again
With candy canes and sliver lanes aglow.
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas,
Toys in every store
But the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be

The building in the left where it says “PICTURE” is the former Gray’s Hardware building which has recently been torn down and rebuilt. You can see the same window frames in 1910 as it was 100 years later in 2010.
A little fun on Main Street in downtown Gloucester Mass.
I was in the Cape Ann Historical Museum on 27 Pleasant Street, doing a project and came across a painting I had not seen in years. W. G. Brown’s Department store was the place to buy that special gift, and hanging on the wall was this massive painting of the owner.
In the museum library, there it was on the wall where I was taking photos of old Captains Courageous books. I extend many thanks to Rhonda Faloon and Stephanie Bucks who have helped me so much the past few days.
I thought I would share with your readers.
