If anyone happens to be looking for Thurston and Lovey Howell, I found them on Nantucket. Not that surprising I suppose!

Last nights rosary ended with one of my favorite novena songs Padre Pio #2… “The Godmother” had the crowd waving their hands to the beat of the music!….Rosie Verga’s statement,during the closing prayer… “That song was a treat for all of us here tonight and a perfect way to end tonight’s rosary.”
The American legion Hall was quickly cleaned and reset for tonight’s last 2014 St. Peter Novena and Ceremonial Rosary Mass after last nights Novena

This was taped on Hampton Beach yesterday
Serious question, does this routine have the ladies ready to jump his bones?
I mean the act is so preposterous you almost have to respect it.
Completely redefining the White Ninja game.
Or not really…
Hey Joey,
What a spectacular time a group of us Gloucester chicks – and a few select men – had last Saturday celebrating the birthday of our dear friend and GHS alum, Christine Buckley. It was one of those “significant” birthdays that deserves more than just a dinner get together.
Why not celebrate on the ocean, we thought? How many of us grew up here and proclaim our love of the ocean, yet never actually get out on the water? Too many, certainly.
For the mere sum of $10 per person for the Best Party idea ever ( it was my idea so I could be a tad prejudice), we made arrangements to meet friends on the M/V Lady Jillian aka the Gloucester Harbor Water Shuttle.
Our illusory plan was that Chris would be meeting Diana Davis and myself at the Studio Restaurant for lunch. When the two of them arrived, I was stationed at the top of the shuttle ramp, dressed as a Mermaid with a sign proclaiming Ocean Wisdom. We told Chris that she was going for an ocean ride – and what a ride it turned out to be!
Besides the Studio, the shuttle stops at Harbor Loop. GHS Cheerleaders, Kathy (Johnson) Keefe and Holly Davis, in original outfits from many moons ago, greeted us at the dock with a lively cheer.
The third stop is St. Peter’s Landing and a smiling couple adorned in Sou’-wester fishing hats met us there – they were Chris’ daughter and son-in-law, Lars and Heather Muelle.
Now – Chris assumed this was it since we opened some bubbly (only paper cups – no glass onboard) and dove in to delicious snacks.
Chris had no idea we had ONE more Special Guest back at the Studio. It was Whoopi! The place was hysterically laughing, from the restaurant patrons to the surprised tourists sharing this wonderful day with us. Whoopi turned out to be a friend that Chris had not seen for far too long – our own beloved recently retired Director of the Sawyer Free Library – none other than Carol Gray!
I think that Captain Peter Favazza as well as the other guests had as much fun as we did! Stevie Douglas even came on board and recited from Longfellow’s “The Wreck of the Hesperus”; a nice touch from a star GHS hockey player from yonder years.
The Party Train kept moving and ended up at Mile Marker One. The surprises were not over. Who else but Cape Ann’s finest singer-songwriter, Chelsea Berry, would ride her bike over just to sing “Happy Birthday” to our Special friend? Chelsea also presented a gift to Chris from us; VIP tickets to her summer concert at Mile Marker One on July 25th.
The motley crew moved from here to a Buckley family party before we called it a day.
A Perfect Day for a Perfectly Wonderful Lady.

Hi Joey!
I was hoping you could share this flyer for the yoga classes that I am offering at Niles Beach all summer long. I’d like to invite GMG readers to join me for a FREE CLASS this week! Class times are Wednesday and Friday at 9am and Wednesday night at 7:30. No experience or flexibility required… Just bring a towel and a sense of humor!

Good morning Joey, I realize this took place a week ago, but could you publicize the good works of one of our local Gloucester Scout Troops? Ryan Ciullufo’s Eagle Scout Project culminated June 14, Flag Day, with a retirement ceremony of over 400 worn out U.S. flags held at Stage Fort Park. The city never had any mechanism to collect and retire worn flags prior to Ryan’s project, and Mayor Kirk attended the flag box dedication ceremony held at the Gloucester AM Vets a couple of weeks prior to this event.
It’s a good, positive story. Many thanks. I’m a member of the Troop 56 Committee – fyi.
Have a good week.

Hi Joey,
My father and I run a charter business out of Cape Ann Marina. My
whole family follows your page on facebook. On saturday my dad (Bruce
Sweet) ran an ironman charter out to Fippinnies Ledge. I was not
actually on the trip but thought you might like to check some of the
photos out. They landed a 46# halibut as well as had some run ins
with some other cool marine life like a large torpedo ray, wolffish,
and a great white. Here are links to the facebook page and website
(not sure if the pics made it there yet). Hope you enjoy checking
them out. Let me know what you think.
