This amazing family was in the parking lot at Good Harbor Beach. They had collected a trash bag full of garbage from around the lot. Dad Robert explained that because they love Good Harbor Beach so much, and go often during the summer, they wanted to give back.
Our DPW does an incredible job keeping the beach and lot clean however, it’s impossible for any one entity to keep up with the amount of litter that happens on our beaches. It takes a village, and it is people like Sveltana, Dimitri, and Robert that are making a real difference.
*Although I wrote down the names of the kids, somehow the message to myself was deleted. I think their names are spelled correctly, but if not, please write. Thank you 🙂

Literary Cape Ann presented a terrific afternoon, Bestseller to Big Screen, featuring Rodman Philbrick, Andre Dubus III, and Stephen McCauley at Cape Ann Cinema 21 Main Street in Gloucester May 5, 2019.
The Toad Hall wheels behind Literary Cape Ann invited Beth Pocock, Asst. Director Sawyer Free Library, to moderate the first half of the program. Literary Cape Ann co-founder Rae Francoeur directed the second part. The Book Store of Gloucester set up shop to handle book sales. Cape Ann Cinema had trailers queued up and fresh popcorn pop pop popping which was offbeat and endearing. All went off without a hitch thanks to great questions, event coordination/collaboration and three dynamite authors who were frank, engaging, witty and bright. Make sure to look for the next Literary Cape Ann event.

Google Offer Fatigue and I bet it doesn’t come up. The reason is, it’s a new term and I have recently adopted it. I cannot take credit for it’s origin. I think it was a real estate agent that said it to me a few years ago. You still don’t hear much of the term Offer Fatigue, but let me tell you, it’s real. And I want to help people overcome it.
So, what is Offer Fatigue and what are the symptoms you ask? Well it’s submitting one offer after another on a house or condo, only to have them all rejected. This occurs over weeks, months and even years. It comes with low-ball offers, over-list offers, closing cost credits and offers to the seller they can live in their home for months for free as they look for a house. Finally, it comes with the prognosis that no offer…

Looks like the Nathaniel Bowditch swallowed up the Tom Slaughter down in the boat yard.
It was a lovely sunny afternoon that hinted of summer fun so I decided to have my first lunch of the season at the Cupboard. 55 years this year….great milestone! Delicious sandwich but ice cream only available on the weekends for now.
