My View of Life on the Dock
Love this beautiful linen in shades of sea and sand. As a general guideline, table runners are usually about 1/3 the width of the table. I was able to cut three runners out of each length and have some leftover fabric, more than enough to make a few pillows–they will be a lovely reminder of Liv and Matt’s wedding!

Walt Whitman, from stanza 46, Song of Myself.
The procession started at the DES Portuguese Club to Mr. and Mrs. Jose Diaz Ferreira (The 2015 Mordomo), and back to the church where Father “Jim” Achadinha , joined the procession up Portuguese Hill. The neighbor pronominally Portuguese, they appreciated Father “Jim’s” participation in the procession waving and coming out to greet the procession of the Holy Ghost. The rain held off until everyone reached Our Lady of Good Voyage, the rain stopped briefly after the Holy Mass, and the procession headed towards the DES club to celebrate the Holy Ghost’s Traditional “Sopas” (Portuguese soup).
Below is a slide show of the Procession and the many who participated. Two colors are used in conjunction with the feast: RED and WHITE. Red symbolizes the tongues of fire, the form in which the Holy Spirit descended on the Apostles, and white symbolizes peace, purity and divinity.
Hello all: Hope everyone is well.

and Mayor Theken’s original press release-
Gloucester will use SeeClickFix to improve quality of life and encourage civic participation
Mayor Sefatia Romeo Theken today announced that the City of Gloucester has launched a new program that will allow residents to report quality-of-life issues and request municipal services through an online and mobile interface. Powered by SeeClickFix, the place-based reporting platform allows Gloucester residents to document neighborhood concerns and improvements, ranging from litter or flooding to damaged sidewalks and malfunctioning traffic signals.
“Gloucester is proud to provide the community with an easy-to-use web tool that helps them access services and make positive changes in the community,” said Mayor Romeo Theken.
With the online and mobile reporting platform, residents can report quality-of-life concerns through service request categories via the City of Gloucester website, mobile applications (e.g., iPhone and Android), a Facebook App, and the website SeeClickFix.com. The platform allows Gloucester residents to provide locations, descriptions, and photos of any issue, in real time. Once a resident submits a concern, the platform issues an alert that becomes public information available to any resident. This will allow the City of Gloucester to acknowledge a service request, route it to the proper department and update the request as needed, including after the matter has been resolved.
The platform also allows Gloucester residents to view, comment on, and vote to fix problems that are submitted by their neighbors. Citizens can even create their own “watch areas” to receive notifications about any category of issues in their community and subsequently follow the progress of all related service requests—not just the one they reported. Reports can be submitted and tracked from the City of Gloucester website directly (gloucester-ma.gov.) Residents will also find links to download SeeClickFix mobile applications on the City’s website.

I’ll ship anywhere in the USA or will hand deliver it to you if you live on Cape Ann.
Backing Ron Gallo this time around, we welcome the Satellite Hearts! Pure rock ‘n’ roll, wild and dangerous, yet full of awe and childlike wonder. It’s like The Clash infused with unpolished 80’s brat punk that trekked through the 60’s while flirting with bell-bottomed psychedelics.

Our boy Al Bezanson submits-
Pop!
I was approaching my back steps and focusing a telephoto lens on these flowers when up popped a weasel. He appeared for just a few seconds three times, and I managed this quick shot on his last pop. He seemed to be staring me down, and my expression mirrored his I’d guess. I was very happy to see him, for a single weasel typically kills hundreds of mice in a year.
Have you ever seen a weasel? Fairly certain I haven’t. Is that weird that I haven’t seen a weasel?
What a wonderful evening at the Studio for our Joey, Cape Ann Chamber of Commerce small business person of the year. So proud of Joey. He does so much to make for our community.
Good Morning Gloucester
