Pet of the Week-Mayari
Hello, my name is Mayari, I am a two-month-old Retriever/mix female pup. I am residing at the Cape Ann Animal Aid (CAAA) located at the Christopher Cutler Rich Animal Shelter in Gloucester. I am here with my sister Tala. We are looking for loving homes and families to adopt us. In the meantime, we are so grateful to be in such a nice shelter with caring staff and volunteers. Please check our website at CapeAnnAnimalAid.com
We would like to remind you about the Yard Sale on Saturday, October 20 from 9 a.m. – 1 p.m. at One Sheehan Terrace in Rockport. From Gloucester: 2 miles from the Eastern Ave. lights on Route 127 towards Rockport, Sheehan Terrace on left. I heard there is a large assortment of household items, luggage, Christmas decorations, pet carriers and more. All proceeds benefit CAAA.
I want to go because I know the family who is hosting this yard sale and they are excellent cooks!!!

Alice Gardner Discovers Scout Vintage Finds On East Main
As I was driving home from the Rocky Neck Cultural Center where we had the Cape Ann Painter and Photographer Group this morning, I noticed a woman putting out a sign on the sidewalk which said "Hand Made Hats." I stopped to investigate and met owner Karen King of" Scout Vintage Finds." She makes amazing hats from special imported felt and uses beautiful antique hat forms to shape the hats -all one of a kind. They are amazing. Her friend Shana who dropped in agreed to model a few hats! She also has a lot of interesting antiiques. Karen said that her shop is open Thursday – Monday. .. a must see shop! 186 East Main Street, Gloucester. 978-290-05533 Alice Gardner

I know, I know, too many fall leaves on the blog already. But I just had to shot this last one.
It made a big hit on Flickr.

Turbine Offloading From The Barge Complete- Pic From Fred Bodin
Fred writes-
One of the three wind turbine blades is lowered down onto the parking lot at Cruiseport Gloucester. By the time I finished my dinner at the Seaport Grill, they had all been moved and the Chem Caribe was cleared off. I was told that the barge had to leave tomorrow, because the dock was reserved for another vessel. So all that needs to be done at Cruiseport is haul the remaining cylindrical tower sections and the blades to the erection site in Blackburn Industrial Park.
