Another beautiful unseasonably warm day in Annapolis and a Sunday morning means plenty of time for a long walk. First to pick up a cup of coffee and then down to the end of the dock to gaze at the water and look across to Eastport and the U.S.Naval Academy.

Annapolis Boat Show Weekend
Today, tomorrow, and the next day it would be wise to steer clear of downtown Annapolis unless you are planning to attend the Boat Show. But wait, I live almost downtown.

The noise makes my dog Grace,a goldenContinue reading “Annapolis During Commissioning Week”
Saturday is the Day to Sleep Late
