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 [...]
Nothing says “Sea Coast” quite like a lighthouse, and the North Shore is fortunate to have a variety scattered around the region – some of them easily accessible to the public.

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 [...]

This weekend is all about Halloween. If you haven’t been to Salem by now, you may not want to go this weekend, as over 100,000 visitors are expected on Saturday. Unless you know someone in town who has parking or will be taking the train, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a parking space.

The card arrived in the mail. Time for my cats, Henry and Tobey, to have their annual checkup and immunizations at the Feline Hospital in Salem. On the day, into the crates, in the car and on our way (cats crying pitifully). I checked in at the desk and went to the waiting room where [...]
