Lunch at LobstaLand, Gloucester, MA



Joy, Tom H., Tom G., Marge, and the pups

The next stop was a delightful lunch at Lobsta Land in Gloucester, MA, with newly acquired friends Tom & Joy Halsted. I had begun an email correspondence with Tom when he received (by a roundabout route too complicated to explain here) some of Matt’s weekly updates from Iraq, and had contacted me to request that he be added to the distribution list. Tom H. and Matt and I correspond fairly regularly, so it was great to meet Tom and Joy, and put faces and places to the names – and since we were heading from Plum Island to our friends Vannozzi’s in Plymouth, Gloucester was right on the way and the stop for lunch was perfect timing – an opportunity too good to pass up, and well worth the stop since we thoroughly enjoyed meeting Tom and Joy and getting to know them better.
