Lately I have been thinking about what social beings we are and realizing how much our connections mean to us. I guess this will be a while. Fiesta 1994

With all this time at home, we finally have the opportunity to get to those DIY projects we’ve been aspiring to. Whether it’s creating a home office, re-tiling the bathroom, building shelves or anything else you want for your home, now is the time to get it done. In addition to creating the space you’ve been dreaming about, you could also be the proud new owner of a Festool Sander. It’s win-win.
We welcome projects large and small. This contest is open to everyone! Share it with your friends!
Zoom.com has become a life-line tool that’s going to help us get through the next few weeks of social distancing. You may have already used it for work. If you haven’t or don’t know what it is, read on …
What is Zoom? Think “conference call” but with a camera. The camera is key:
My wife taught a yoga class on Zoom Saturday.
Last night we had dinner with friends on Zoom.
My niece may have her wedding shower on Zoom.
You can use zoom.com to participate in almost any event, with others, no matter where they are. And you don’t have to be in the same room with them.
It’s cheap: there’s a decent “free” account or it’s about $15 a month for PRO
It’s easy. If you have a smart phone (iPhone, etc) or a laptop or a tablet, any device with a camera, it’ll work.
The CARES Act, passed last Friday, earmarks $350 billion dollars for our nation’s small businesses, all of which are struggling with immediate decisions about how to make rent, what to do about their employees, and which bills to pay.
Tomorrow, Tuesday, March 31st at 5 PM, Congressman Moulton and Massachusetts SBA Director Bob Nelson will host a Small Business Forum on Facebook. This forum will detail the programs that were created to help small businesses and instruct them on how they can apply for assistance.
Please share this important information widely via email and social media.

Right now at lots of essential stores there are pieces of tape marking out the space people should leave between each other when waiting to check out. There are people taking walks respecting other people and taking wide berths around people they need to get past.
And I’m hearing that there are people that believe the Coronavirus threat to health is being over exaggerated and are disregarding the pieces of tape and they aren’t moving out of the way when passing others on walks and make fun of people that are horrified when they come close to them.
These are the worst kinds of humans. I don’t care if you believe it’s as bad as they say it is or not. Don’t be the jerk that disregards the simplest of the guidelines that have been put in place. Even if you think you’re invincible. There are parents that we care about that might not be so invincible. Who wants that blood on their hands???
Don’t be the ass that crosses the tape or gets up in someone’s space intentionally. So stupid.

Thank you for your interest in supporting Beverly and Addison Gilbert hospitals as we work to contain the COVID-19 pandemic and keep our communities safe. Every day, our providers are putting their health on the line to care for patients. With the nationwide shortage of key medical supplies, we appreciate your desire to help.
We’re asking business leaders in our community to consider how they may be able to contribute. We have established an Emergency Response Fund to provide immediate resources to be deployed for this and future emergencies. Gifts may be made by choosing “Emergency Response Fund” from the dropdown menu on our online giving pages at Giving.BeverlyHospital.org and Giving.AddisonGilbert.org. We are also seeking donations of lab, testing, and diagnostic supplies, and new, unused personal protection equipment (PPE) needed to combat COVID-19.
We have a specific need for the following supplies:
Well it’s been quite a few weeks, and I hope everyone remains safe and well. Please keep to social distancing and do you part for our community. With that being said, I wanted to update you all on the real estate financing industry.
We at CrossCountry Mortgage, and many other mortgage lenders, we are open for business. We are accepting online and phone loan applications and we are in constant communication with our clients, real estate agents, attorneys, title insurance agents and local and state officials. It’s been a constantly changing environment and communication has been and will be paramount during this time.
New home purchases believe it or not are continuing. However it’s with a lot of changes. There is now social distancing and no more open houses (for the most part). There are virtual open houses and tours. Buyers can go into empty homes as well. With these…
