Happiness gently landed on my shoulders

vacation

  • Gloucester, Mass…Glawster

    The oldest seaport in the United States…Gloucester shares the land point with Rockport.

It was quiet and outdated and comfortably simple. My Read more

  • Northeast Harbor and Producer Dick Wolf

    The trip to Pemaquid lighthouse was my favorite day until we made the Northeast Harbor our 2 day home. Northeast Harbor is on Desert Island which is also home to Acadia and Bar Harbor.

No picture of the Pie because who has time to take pictures of Pie! We left Read more
