Some people talk the talk but never follow through and produce.

Heather Fraelick is not one of those people.  During the great pie debate of November 14th  2010 over what constitutes a pie and whether rhubarb (a root) belongs in a pie, Heather offered to show me that she has what it takes to make the ultimate whoopie pie.

Note the packaging above.  Nice touch don’t you think?

Swimdad has identified all but one of the 12 photos in this week’s game. Can anyone help him out? Little by little he’s gotten each one, but this one’s stumping him. He’s about to give up. Thanks for your help!!!

Here are his responses-

  1. swimdad says:

    City hall skyline, Magnolia, Little River, Annisquam Light House, Niles Beach, Magnolia Road Pic, Thai House Good Harbor Beach, Unitarian Church, Sail boat Plum Cove, Man at the Wheel Blvd., Paint Factory and Thatchers Island Twin Lights

    City Hall Skyline, Magnolia, Little River, Annisquam Light, Niles Beach, Magnolia, Thai House Good Harbor Beach, Unitarian Church, Plum Cove, Blvd. Man at the Wheel, Paint Factory and Thatchers Island Twin Lights

  3. Sharon says:

    Swindad- very close, but not quite. Keep trying!

  4. swimdad says:

    Change the church to the Trinity Congregational.

  5. Sharon says:

    3,5, and 6 aren’t right yet, and the first guess on the church was correct, Swimdad. Keep going!

    • swimdad says:

      The only place that #6 could be to me is Niles Pond. 3 and 5 I am totally stumped on. Not bad though for only being in Gloucester for 3 days out of the last 24 years! #5 Harbor Side of Rocky Neck by the old Rockaway Hotel and #3 no eye deer. I give up.

  6. Sharon says:

    Good, you’ve gotten #5 and #6. Now a hint for #3. It’s a different view of one that you’ve already identified. You’re doin’ great!!

Youth Connections- Hand in Hand with Seniors

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Youth Connections- Hand -in Hand with Seniors

A Unique Event Celebrating the

Special Relationships of Youth with the

Trusted Older Adults in their Lives

FREE TRANSPORTATION TO EVENT PROVIDED BY CATA

Youth Connections- Hand -in Hand with Seniors on Tuesday, November 16th at Rose Baker Senior Center from 3:00 PM- 4:30PM celebrates the unique value of intergenerational connections. Sponsored by the Council on Aging, TRIAD and the Healthy Gloucester Collaborative, youth are encouraged to invite a special older adult or adults in their lives and seniors are encouraged to invite the youth special to them.

The gathering will be a lively mix of music, food, teen-senior collaborative activities and features a presentation by  Joanne Peterson, the founder of Learn to Cope. Ms. Peterson will discuss Talk with Your Teen: It’s Never Too Soon. Ms. Peterson speaks to young people and adults throughout the country on the importance of adults talking to young people early and often to lessen the chance of youth making unhealthy life decisions.

Peter Jenner of TRIAD, an organization dedicated to improving senior safety, points out “I plan to bring three of my grandchildren. We are all looking forward to the event. Senior citizens and youth have a special communication bond that is different from parents and youth.” According to Gloucester’s Director of Substance Abuse Prevention Joan Whitney, “The healthy development of young people is nurtured by the support of many trusted adults in their lives. The special connections of young people and trusted older adults – be they grandparents, aunts, uncles, neighbors, those who weave stories of life experiences that hold a young person’s attention or simply take the time to talk with a young person—all strengthens youth and ultimately strengthens the community as a whole. On November 16th we hope to celebrate the unique value of these relationships.”

Youth Connections-Hand -in Hand with Seniors is Tuesday, November 16th from 3:00 pm-4:30pm at Rose Baker Senior Center. CATA has offered free transportation on their regular bus routes for attendees. For more information about the event, call Healthy Gloucester Collaborative at 866-964-4603.

GMG T Shirts For The Grandkids

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Paulie had a great idea.  Seeing as he can print up children’s sizes as well as adult sizes we thought it would be a great idea to offer them for gifts that grandparents or parents can buy for their grandchildren.

So if you get a Homie T-Shirt for your grandchild and take their picture in them we will post them on the blog.

The childrens sizes will be available in pink or baby blue.

To order one send an email to goodmorninggloucester@yahoo.com for details.  Once we have orders for 7 more we will have enough to get the T-Shirt stock and Paulie can get printing.

Thanks to Paulie to donating his services printing the shirts so we can help pay for photo hosting and other costs for running the blog.
