Friends of Seacoast Chatter From Tommy Lattoff

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Joey:

Friends of Seacoast Chatter:

While passing out cashmere scarf’s for 132 residents at Seacoast Nursing Home for Christmas last week compliments of the Friends of Seacoast, A nurse asked me if we could buy a computer for the residents. It seems some of them wish to communicate with their grandchildren.

I spoke with our Administrator and offered to fund the project and was told, they would look into it. I am pleased to say that they found this to be a great idea and will be installing a wireless network to accommodate 3 Laptop computers.

This is all made possible by the generosity of the many people who continue to donate to the Friend of Seacoast.

Now how cool is that.

Brian Carlson Represents! in Turks and Caicos

Hey Joey,
Was that you on the flight from Boston to TCI behind those Foster Grants? Brian and I rented a scooter and drove to Long Beach where all the kite surfers hang out. Since we didn’t have our own gear, Brian (being the good ex Gloucester Coast Guard guy that he is)
Improvised with, you guessed it, his GMG t shirt.

We bought Red Snapper from some fisherman working off the back of a red pick up truck (note: he did come recommended by manager of Horse Eye Jack’s, great place next to Da Conch Shack). Cooked it on our grill and It was delish,

As Buffett would say, “The Weather is Here, I Wish You Were Beautiful” – wait, you are Beautiful (or at least the Mrs. Is).

Brian says, “Keep the dry side up, and the wet side down.” I think that means don’t flip your boat over.

Signing off from Paradise,
Cindy H.

After the thanks are handed out and the lobster trap tree is lit in the dead cold of the middle of winter the arduous task of taking the lobster trap trree has to take place.  Thank you  to all of those who pitch in to help take it down.

Hopefully Ed or David or Donna or Bex has a list of those that contributed their efforts, taking it down

So Wonderful.

Kim Smith writes-

Dear Friends,

You’ve heard me talking about my butterfly film (for Months!). I began filming the black swallowtails last July and am only now close to finishing.  I am so excited to share this project with you and hope you enjoy the trailer.

My daughter Liv and friend Kathleen Adams collaborated on a beautiful rendition of “Simple Gifts.” The music in the background is an improv interlude from their recording session.

Coming soon: Documentary about the Life Story of the Black Swallowtail Butterfly, from egg, to caterpillar, to chryrsalis, to adult. Filmed in a garden and along the seashore, Gloucester, Massachusetts. Featuring the black swallowtail butterfly, wildflowers, pollinators, the sun, the garden, and more.
