Abigail and John Quincy - Day 172

One of the statues in Quincy Square is of Abigail Adams and her son John Quincy Adams. I have heard they were placed across the street from John Adams to represent the distance that they endured for many years while John was Ambassador in Europe.

First Apartment - Day 171

When George and I were first married our first apartment was called the Executive House on Hancock Street in Quincy. (name has changed) It was the first high rise apartment building in Quincy. We lived on the eighth floor which you could see Quincy Bay through the apartment windows. I called it my widows walk of the early 70's. George was in the merchant marine sailing for US Line. When his ship was returning from Europe I could see his Ship come over the horizon and I would know it was time to drive to East Boston to meet him. Those were the days.

Gun Rock Further Down - Day 170

Brought some photo note cards to the Carousel Shop this morning. Then went to see the view from the home of the people I took the family portraits of a couple weeks ago. She told me I can go in her yard whenever I want to take photos. My best photos are from other peoples homes. Earl is gone. Not a ripple in the seas.

After Earl - Day 169

Took a drive down to Nantasket Beach this morning to check on the surf. George was right again it's an north easterly swell with a north westerly wind (ergo counter acting each other). Making the swells smaller. He's so smart.

Quincy Icon - Day 168

When you drive down Southern Artery a lighthouse has withheld time. I believe years ago it was Quincy Oil Company.

Quincy Icons - Day 167

I decided to post a Quincy icon today. One of my childhood memories was my girlfriend Nancy's mother and father use to take us to Dairy Queen on Washington Street, Quincy Point for ice cream. I got a chocolate dipped cone today, I haven't been there in years. I will be going back soon it was delicious on this hot day.

Welcome Sign - Day 166

I have an ocean scene slate welcome sign near my back door. I was going to take a photo of Cleo today but she wouldn't stay still.
