Early morning tide on the Causeway
It’s a frosty high tide on the Causeway this morning. There’s a sheen of ice over the river creating some pretty reflections. Days like this I wish I brought my big girl camera with me 😀

Salt hits the back of my throat. As I step out of my car, I suck deeper on the icy sea air. Freezing waves crash below me as I gaze out towards the Atlantic from Gloucester, an old fishing settlement on the New England coast, while the sun slowly drops below the horizon.
In the distance is the glimmer of the Eastern Point lighthouse, the last sight of home for many Gloucester fishermen before they sailed into the vastness of the ocean. Dotted around the harbour are small wooden houses from which fishermen’s wives would look anxiously into the bay.

Pet of the Week-Jasper
Jasper here. I am happy to meet you and why yes, I would love to join you for a stroll. Snacks? But of course, one of my favorite things to do is nibble and lounge. I am an affectionate boy with a true Shih Tzu nature and heart.
I am looking for a dog savvy home, one who isn’t going to let me take over the couch but will teach me that when invited I can share what is theirs. Life is all about lessons and compromise and I am ready for my turn to learn and find the perfect match for me. I am looking for an adult home, preferably one that adores Shih Tzu’s! I tend to guard high value items. So no bones for this boy! I am also considered a Special Needs adoption because I also have a hypothyroid. I take one pill 2 x a day and I’m A OK! If you think you could fill the empty space in my life then what are you waiting for?
Hurry on in and let’s get to getting to know each other right away! To see all available animals at the Christopher Cutler Rich Animal Shelter please visit our website: capeannanimalaid.org.

Frrrrrrozen Fenway
With the temperatures in the low 20s, I’d say Frozen Fenway is an appropriate name!
A friend and I took some avid little hockey players to check out “the big kids” on the ice. In this case, those big kids were the Boston University and UMASS teams.
The temperatures were no joke, but it was great to get in there for a bit. With some competitive hockey, cocoa, and even curling the boys had a great time. A couple of the boys had to get back to Cape Ann for their own hockey games so we didn’t stay for the double header and I couldn’t help but think how much colder it must have been for the 5:00 Boston College vs. Providence game at the end of the day. There isn’t enough “Bailey’s in the coffee” to make that sound tempting.

A thank you note from TBT Post
Richard from TBT Post sent this email out on Sunday. Another reason we love our local stores. Thank you Richard. As I am typing this, have the wonderful warm socks that TBT Post sell on.
This Sunday morning I shoveled my way out of my house in Rockland Mass to enjoy my adventurous drive north to our wonderful City of Gloucester Mass.
When I arrived in the City of Gloucester off of RTE 128 I could only say one word. WOW!!!!
The streets and sidewalks were cleaned as if we didn’t even have our first blizzard of the year.
I was able to walk right into the TBT Post Store and open it for customers as if it was a summer day. Despite the foot and a half of snow.
I am just speechless.
The only words I can manage to say at this time are “Thank You Gloucester and to everyone involved”
It was great to see that Short and Main had a nice crowd for their Sunday Brunch today.
Premier Imprints, The Olive Oil Company and other stores where open ready for business.
Café Sicilia who is always open, was open with my favorite morning cup of hot chocolate and sweets that we all love.
Café Sicilia has the best cup of Hot Chocolate for the worst blizzard mother nature can ever come up with.
Thank you to the City of Gloucester and everyone who works so hard making Gloucester a fun destination all year round.
TBT Post is so proud and we feel so fortunate to be a part of the unlimited positive energy in the City of Gloucester Massachusetts.
Note: TBT Post did pass the positive energy forward by shoveling out some of the cross walks.
A Million Thanks to The Wonderful City of Gloucester Ma!!!!
