On Saturday, my husband and I took our boat from Salem to Gloucester. It was a beautiful day; crisp, sunny, and the water was fairly smooth. It’s always fun taking a leisurely cruise around Gloucester Harbor, and we were lucky to find a spot to tie up at the Madfish Grill – where we ate [...]
Well, here we are at the end of Beverly Homecoming. A mix of the old – Lobster Fest, Lip Synch Contest – and the new – Gran Prix Bike Race, “train” at Lynch Park. We managed to get about one hundred people up in the RE/MAX hot air balloon and my husband and I had [...]

A little story. Mike & I stopped for lunch at the 99 Restaurant in Salem on Sunday. We left & got into our Subaru wagon, and when Mike put the key in the ignition – the car horn started blaring. Since we weren’t aware we had a security system, we frantically searched for a way [...]

The area nurseries are chock-full of tempting plants and the weather has been delightfully cooperative. This weekend, I visited Corliss Brothers in Ipswich and picked up tomato, [...]
Unleashed, a division of Petco, has opened a new store in Beverly Plaza (think Shaw’s, Panera Bread). This weekend was their Grand Opening celebration and Casey and I visited this morning. Lots of people and their pets, along with a Guide Dog Organization, a Photographer (yes, I had Casey’s portrait taken), Cape Ann Animal Aid, [...]
My dog, Casey, is starting to show signs of old age. At almost ten, arthritis has made her lame many days and she doesn’t enjoy walks the way she once did. A recent trip to the veterinarian started me thinking about my long relationship with Danvers Animal Hospital. Dr Myers, the principal, is kind and [...]
If you’re a Beverly or Salem resident, and you’ve managed to amass a collection of old cans of oil paint, pesticides, weed killers, and florescent bulbs; you’ll soon have a chance to get them out of your house.
