Mt. Cranmore in North Conway, NH peaking through the misty morning.  

It is that time of year again.  Time to renew my boys’ magazine subscriptions.  If you are looking for a gift that checks lots of boxes…think magazines.  I know it is kind of old school, but I love it.

What first began as an attempt to boost my children’s desire to work on their reading at home, soon turned into a way for them to learn about some of the things that they had developed an affinity for….  Boats, Cars, the Outdoors.

Each Christmas I renew their subscriptions and they look forward to receiving their new magazines in the mail.  It has been a great way for them to practice reading, spend time together, get off of their electronics, and learn more.   They have also cut up their magazines for school projects and to hang their favorite pictures on their wall.  The jagged and ripped photos taped precariously throughout their bedroom secretly makes me cringe a little bit, but they seem to enjoy it.

While they’ve had magazines like National Geographic Kids, Ranger Rick, and Boys’ Life in the past, right now they receive Automobile and Power and Motor Yacht. This year I’m also adding Sports Illustrated Kids to the mix.

There are 8 CD Case Calendars Left if anyone wants to buy them this is your chance. I won’t be ordering any more for this season.

I also only had a handful of the New GMG Logo Pro Mesh Navy Caps.  If you want to purchase one of those I’ll have some at the dock tomorrow as well or shoot me a message and I’ll put one aside for you while they last.

This is an awesome deal on a remote long range wireless thermometer like the one I use and paid twice as much for!

Knowing your meat temp is absolutely critical for BBQ or cooking success. 10 degrees over or under and it’s not even close to being as good as it can be.

 

Here’s the link to buy it for $39.99 which is way less than the $69.99 I paid for it.

Critical-

SUCCESS!!  Gloucester Cinema, 74 Essex Ave, Gloucester will be showing the locally made movie MANCHESTER BY THE SEA this week.  “This movie has had a slow and limited release to the theaters across the United States, and until now Boston was the nearest theater playing it.” stated theater owner John Williams.

Gloucester’s first show will be on Thursday, December 1 at 7 p.m.  On Friday and over the weekend matinees will start at 10 a.m. for MANCHESTER BY THE SEA, in addition to the regular show times.  On Monday, December 5 thru Thursday, December 8 there will be shows beginning at noon for those who cannot make it over the weekend or want to see it a second time.  “It’s not unusual for folks to get confused about what time or day a show will run” commented John so he is advising folks to check the website — gloucestercinema.com — or call the theater’s recording 978-283-9188 for the most up-to-date information.

“I am so excited we are getting MANCHESTER BY THE SEA.  I am thankful that Director Kenneth Lonegran wanted to help us give local folks a chance to see his newest movie that was filmed in their home town.”  Residents of the Cape Ann area will be thrilled to see the film at a theater much closer to home.  It is a great way to get a group of family, friends and neighbors together to enjoy a story that features Casey Affleck and Michelle Williams in a local and well known backdrop.  It has fantastic reviews, and it is expected to be nominated for several awards during the awards season.

Gloucester Cinema is easy to find on Route 133, Exit 14 off 128.  It is handicap accessible with lots of free parking very close to the front door. While supplies last, there are small movie posters and postcards for those who purchase tickets at the theater.  For large group reservations or questions, please call John directly at 781-724-5368.
