Cape Ann MA also has it 'rural' parts as well as its coastal areas. This is just one photo of Essex MA with its marshes and wonderful waterways. Another photo below will show the 'country' ambience that we also have. It is a delightful place to live.

  25. That's what I nearly called my book, Mining for Diamonds! THe publisher wouldn't allow it.
    But when dad was dying, a friend told me to look for the diamonds every day! I gave that advice to everyone!
    Cheers from Cottage Country!
