Ocean Point had their first snowfall of the season last week as seen in beautiful pictures posted on the website by Tom McGonegal which were submitted by Julie Brown.
Beautiful photos can also be seen in the November 21 edition of the paper taken by Steve Edwards of the Register, there are 2 along the shore by 3 Trees and one overlooking Grimes Cove.

I hope you all enjoyed your Thanksgiving holiday with family and friends! Our family usually celebrates in Maine, however this year we stayed local as we have a new little member of our family. Baby Thomas (named after my dad for those who remember him) was born November 1 to my nephew Michael and his wife Katherine. Congratulations to dad and mom and first time grandparents Michael and Lois Meagher.

Liz and Dick Colten gathered with all their family for the holiday, daughter Ann and granddaughter Eliza arrived from California and son Jerry his wife Costanza and their boys from Milan.  Both Dick and Liz were happy to all be together.

Ginny Kern and her son Grant and daughter Jennifer travelled to Boothbay to celebrate Thanksgiving with her mom.

Link and Julie Brown recently returned from a month long whirlwind trip which took them to Chicago before boarding a train to Seattle and Vancouver. From there they sailed aboard ship to Alaska and then on to Japan. On their return to the states they stopped in Los Angeles to visit with their son Chris and daughter in law Lisa before heading home to, as Julie describes it,” good ole Ocean Point”

Congratulations to 5-year-old James Rush who competed in his school’s Turkey Trot recently and finished first in his age group!

In case you missed it! The deadline for column submission has been changed to 3 P.M. on Mondays so please send along your news to me by Sunday if possible, thank you.

Please remember to check the website often as updates on our Preservation Project will be forthcoming.

Happy holiday shopping and have a great week!!
