The Carnival was a big hit!


The Salem Cemetery attracts thousands.

Salem on Sunday before Halloween 2007

The Salem witches on Essex Street.

Sunday before Halloween and the streets are packed

Of course you have to have your Fried Dough!

Live performers on stage and in the streets provide pleasant music to walk by.

One of many haunted happenings. I have not seen any ghosts yet.

This year carnival rides were added. On Halloween we will ride the ferris wheel to get some more pics!
Until then, enjoy the holiday season.

SOCKS beat the ROCKS!!! Yaaaa!!!

Leafy Neighborhood

We have done it again. October is barely over with and we have no PCs to refresh. I did paperwork and phone scheduling today from the comforts of home. Above is the view I have from the upstairs PC Room. Can you tell its trash day?



After logging my hours for the day I went for a walk. This picture shows our street covered in leaves.



Despite the high winds today Lions Lane looked fairly calm. Lions Lane is one street above Tanglewood Lane.

Piles of differently colored leaves were everywhere!















This branch of leaves was at the top of Tanglewood Lane.

Tomorrow I have two PC refreshes in Lynnfield. I love going to Lynnfield because it is only 8 miles away.

BTW All of these pictures were taken with my latest birthday gift - The Norcent DCC-725 digital camera with 7 megapixels!!

Head of the Charles Regatta

On Sunday the clouds cleared providing a great day at the races!
We jumped on the T in Swampscott and rode to the North End, then took
the green line to State street, where we transferred to the red line to head
up to Harvard for the races!

Free boat transport 2 miles out and a tour! WOW!










We toured the mess hall, the attack chambers,
the hold and the captains steering deck.


Prepared to defend the New England coast!










Back on land we toured the town of Bear Skin Neck











We ate some grub and took a trolley ride back to the car.
Another wonderful weekend!

Salem's Haunted Happenings are back!

It is already difficult to drive through town
now and we are not even close to Halloween.

Ipswich Ale Harvest Festival

Does Ipswich ring a bell?
If it does then it proves you have been reading my blogs and
not just looking at the pictures.
Ipswich, Massachusetts is famous for the many ales made by the
Mercury Brewing Company, located in ... well you get it by now.


Step right up and taste test the many flavors!
I liked the Octoberfest but the Nut Brown was delicious.


The pumpkin beer was okay but I prefer my beer to taste like beer!


Everyone had a great time!
