The weatherman caught my attention this morning when he mentioned that in our region the earliest sunsets do not take place on the winter solstice (December 21st).

Take heart fellow-lovers-of-sunlight, Gloucester’s earliest sunset of the year will be on December 14th, at 4:09 pm. We’re on the side of gaining late day light everyday thereafter!

RIP JFK

Posted on by capeannpainter

RIP JFK

JFK was murdered 51 years ago today. Not too much news in the media about it today. It’s sad.

No matter what you thought of JFK’s personal life we could use someone with his vision today.

Hi Joey,

We are stocking up for the winter. Will you let GMG readers know about The Open Door Thanksgiving Food Drive on Saturday, November 22, from 9 AM to 3 PM at Market Basket, Shaw’s on Eastern Avenue, and Stop & Shop in Gloucester? The items we need most are: peanut butter, tuna fish, cereal, 100% juice, soups, pasta and pasta sauce. All support is welcome, but PLEASE don’t bring items in glass because they WILL break and they WILL make a mess. Trust me!

Best,
Julie

Cartoccioo~ Ricotta Filled Italian Donut

After a month of visits back and forth between Boston’s Childrens Hospital’s ER, ENT Specialists, and pediatrician, our daughter Amanda is finally home from the hospital recovering from a very painful double ear surgery, she had a few days ago. Barry, Amanda and I would like to thank our amazing family and friends for all their support, help, phone calls, text messages and prayers throughout this entire ordeal. It has been very comforting to feel everyones embrace. Thankfully we live a stones throw away from one of the best Childrens Hospitals in the world, and Amanda was under the care of an amazing team of doctors and surgeons. This morning brother Joey delivered Amanda’s favorite Italian pastry and bread from Sclafani’s Bakery and “TWO” of my favorite Sista Felicia’s Tea’s from from Lone Gull, after learning about the sleepless night we all had, trying to make Amanda as comfortable as possible. l Thank you God, for blessing me with an awesome brother and uncle to my kids …He knew exactly what we all needed this morning!❤️

Coconut hasn’t taken her eyes off Amanda sense she arrive home!
