OK, We’ve Finally Narrowed Down Our Premium Ladies Super Soft Lightweight Feminine Cut T Shirts
I owe the idea to FOB Linda Colman who has been begging for years relentlessly for us to bring out a feminine cut V Neck super soft T Shirt.
After months of research and trying many many brands we’ve got it narrowed down and we’re going to offer them in V as well as scoop neck styles- both feminine cut, both crazyyyy soft- like you wanna wear it to bed but then never take it off soft. Like I guarantee it’s gonna be your favorite t shirt soft.
GMG Logo over the left boob.
The scoop neck ones fit true to size but the V Neck ones you need to order a size up (Felicia describes it best in the video)

I just need help deciding the colors
I’m definitely ordering Black and the Dark Gray. But I just need help determining the third color. Once we narrow down the colors to offer I’ll put them on the All Things Gloucester Site for sale- http://gmg.storenvy.com/
I’m taking specific color size combinations in the Dry Fit shirts through Thursday and then whatever the orders are will be what I order from the distributor for the first printing. After that there won’t be any guarantees for stock in certain color/size combinations. it’ll be what is listed on the site for availability is what there will be after that.
The white has been a popular color.
So we’ll poll it to see what you guys think. (Linda Colman gets five votes based on how many times she begged me to carry these)

Love, Pure and Solid From Fred Bodin
One of the highlights of the Block Party for me was a visit by these newlyweds. Phil is from Gloucester and Silvie is from the Czech Republic. They live in West Gloucester. Phil works in the corporate world, and Silvie is a holistic healer. She’ll be hosting an event called "Power, Women, & Wine," featuring healers, artists, and readers at Savour Wine and Cheese on September 19th. Call Silvie at 978-412-5400 for more info. It’s funny, 25+ years ago I hosted an opening at my first gallery in East Gloucester (next to the Last Stop). It was called "Ducks, Battleships, & Wine." Guy thing. Paul Morrison and Rubber Duck liked this: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=487382774681119&set=a.115850935167640.27287.109638072455593&type=1&theater

Silver-spotted Skipper
Although there appear to be far fewer Lepidoptera on the wing this year, as compared to last year’s extraordinary numbers, one frequent visitor to gardens this summer is the Silver-spotted Skipper (Epargyreus clarus). Like butterflies and moths, skippers are members of the Order Lepidoptera and, like all Lepidoptera, they are distinguished from other insects by their scaled wings.
Skippers are characterized by, and named by, a darting (skipping) flight pattern. Skippers are also easy to identify from butterflies and moths by their antennae clubs that hook backward, like to a crochet hook.
The Silver-spotted Skipper caterpillars feed on members of the legume family, including Black Locust, Honey Locust, Hog Peanut, ticktrefoils (Desmodium) and False Indigo (Amorpha fruticosa)
Notice the white sploges on the skipper’s under wing. The sploges resemble bird poop and are thought to be an evolutionary defense against predatory birds.

Block Party Debris Field at Bodin Historic Photo
Fred writes-
Here’s my measure of our Block Party. This was a family event, and dicey weather was a factor. But the proof is in my sink. Big crowds, respectable sales, and boy were they thirsty. All of the wine glasses I had out were used, all the wine and beer was consumed, and it was a very successful event. One thing is for sure — we have a lot of happy drunken fruit flies in the back room.
Origami for kids at Art Haven and Theatre Camp for Kids at the YMCA
This Thursday (3:30-5PM) is the last origami class for kids this month at Art Haven! The content and level of difficulty of the class is entirely flexible according to the needs and interests of those who sign up.
So, for example, if your child (or a child you know) has an origami book and has stopped using it because he/she is stuck on a difficult model or discouraged, register them for the class and bring them with the book in question! I will help them through whatever difficulty they may be facing, and we can fold some model(s) from the book with the other students.
The possibilities are endless! Contact Art Haven for details on pricing and registration, and if you do register and have a specific interest or need, let me know ahead of time so I can prepare if necessary (you can comment on this post). Here’s a photo from a previous class, showing me with budding origami artist Leon Calvo:
We folded a boat, a dragon, a lotus flower, and a Brontosaurus (aka Apatosaurus). Leon’s father David Calvo is a wood carver who does beautiful work and teaches classes as well.
It’s not too late to sign kids up for Theatre Camp at the YMCA! I’ve heard great things about this program. “Murder on Rocky Neck: The Opera” was the result of a similar program with Henry Allen in the past.

Hello! My name is Checkers, I am an active and sweet, two-month-old boy kitten. I am brown-and-black and quite handsome. I love to play and wrestle with my brothers and sisters. I was in a foster home that had a cat friendly dog and we got along well.
