My View of Life on the Dock
To me, this night is the official kick-off to St. Peter’s Fiesta! The Rosary, followed by Mass then the first procession of St. Peter down to Beach Court and then St. Peter rests in the club until he is brought to the Altar on Friday. 
St. Peter’s got some new landscape on Beach Court with The Beauport and it’s red and green glowing lights.

Last night’s summer solstice full Strawberry Moon rose in a pretty pink, gradually turning brilliant gold. 
Drove by the Seine boats warming up for the weekend! Viva!!
When over on Leonard Street take a walk down to the footbridge. It is beautiful with water boats and the trees.
When You see Peter Favazza this weekend be sure to thank him for the new “Custom Draperies” adorning the St. Peter Statue Window at the St. Peter’s Club on Roger Street Gloucester Ma. Peter started this tradition of dressing St. Peters Window years ago, as a thank you to St. Peter for granting his personal Petition. The Fiesta community thanks you Peter for your beautiful heart and commitment to this beautiful anunal tradition! Your Lady friends from Vegas did an amazing job creating this years drapes with fabric made in Italy. The window is simply Gorgeous!

The Little River Little Free Library was the winner at the most recent Awesome Gloucester Pitch Night, receiving $1000 from the local micro grant foundation to build install and maintain a Little Free Library at Stubby Knowles Landing on Essex Avenue. This free lending library is part of a national movement and joins other LFL’s in Essex and Bay View as a community resource. Watch for more around the city.
Each month the Gloucester chapter of the Awesome Foundation solicits proposals from the community and chooses the top three to attend a public Pitch Night on the evening of the third Monday. Submitters make their case before the 20 local trustees who have each donated $50 toward the monthly award. The top vote getters walk away with $1000 in cash. Proposals to make Gloucester more awesome can be made at Awesome Gloucester.

The one and only Finn turned 7 yesterday and was very clear about how he wanted to spend the day. Soccer camp, ice cream, bike riding, paddling boarding, and sushi. We added the Summer Solstice as a bonus. Why not.
While the whole day was pretty great, my favorite part of it all was taking the SUPs to Jones Creek and having some quality time with the birthday boy. With Thatcher off at sailing lessons, Finn and I were able to spend some time on the river, hunt for crabs, and enjoy the view.
