The portfolio on the pedestal and some wall pieces are not by Juni Van Dyke, but are deeply connected to her philosophy and art practice. They were created by participants in various art programs at the Rose Baker Senior Center, Gloucester, MA, which Juni Van Dyke has designed and led for decades.  I happened to be visiting the gallery when Juni stopped into her exhibit. She immediately directed my gaze and attention to their work, this shared art and experience.

Respite Care is Chicken Soup for the Caregiver’s Soul

With the mild fall season we’ve had I hope you’re not surprised when I tell you that the holiday season has arrived bringing along with it expanded to-do lists, cooking, parties and much more.  For those of you who are caregivers – these can make for stressful times when juggling life’s every day priorities. As parents of young children, we look to a trusted sitter, friend or family member when we need to take a break.  It’s great to know you have someone you can trust when you need it.

The same fact can hold true when we find ourselves caring for an aging parent, a spouse, or loved one that has become ill requiring care to remain safe at home. Being a caregiver can be a rewarding experience, which may allow us to deepen bonds with our loved one. For…

Great Video: Bobbi Gibb Marathon Sculpture Project

Screen Shot 2016-11-16 at 10.58.22 AM (2).png

Hi Joe,

I thought some of the local sports fans might like to see this amazing video from the other night in Boston where two north shore ladies received the Good Sportsman award from the sports editors of the Boston Globe for their stories.   You might recall Abbey D’Agostino from the Olympics as one and the other is of course our own Bobbi Gibb from Rockport!

I’ve posted the video and also photos from the event on this page below!

After hours at the Fitz Hugh Lane House

After work last night I was driving by the Fitz Hugh Lane House and noticed the lights were all on inside.   It’s a seldom sight in the evening so I just had to stop and grab a few pics.   blm_8314-edit blm_8309-edit

Coming Soon to a Parking Lot Near You

One week from today, unbelievably, the Schrafft family will make our annual day-after-Thanksgiving trip to The Beverly Tree Farm to cut down our Christmas Tree.  For us, it is more than just getting our tree…. it is about the atmosphere, the ambience, the donations that are made to charitable organizations each year…and the tradition.  Getting our tree at “the farm” is all that my boys know and it is always one of their favorite days of the holiday season…and maybe even the entire year.

All that having been said, I am well aware that there are gorgeous trees to be scored here on “the island”…so, I ask you, share where you get your tree.  Do you have a favorite place?  A well kept secret you’d like to share?  A bargain?  A favorite experience?  A place off the beaten path?  Let us know!
