Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

On Monday, the clouds were pretty but again the air was chilly.  The sun breaking through the clouds made of a nice view.

Colors on the Boulevard

With the clouds breaking through on Saturday morning, the pansies on the boulevard looked like they were shining.

 

Nice tradition

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

We have a neighbor who retired from the Gloucester Fire Department this week.  Chief Eric Smith implemented a tradition of driving the retiree home on their last day.  The Gloucester fire department came to his house with lights on with respect for the years of service.

The Greasy Pole waiting

Rick and I went to the Beauport Hotel for lunch on Thursday for Rick’s birthday.  The food, service and view were excellent.  A very relaxing lunch.  The Greasy Pole looked lonely but only a couple of months before the excitement begins.  VIVA

Help Robyn & Charlie Rebuild After Devastating House Fire
Our hearts are broken for Robyn and her son, Charlie, who recently experienced an unimaginable loss. A sudden house fire destroyed their home, taking with it everything they owned—and tragically, their two beloved dogs, Hank & Bowser.
In a matter of moments, Robyn and Charlie lost not only their house, but the comfort, memories, and sense of security that made it a home. Even more heartbreaking is the loss of their dogs, who were cherished members of their family.
As they begin to process this tragedy, they are now faced with the overwhelming task of starting over from nothing—securing temporary housing, replacing basic necessities like clothing and food, and eventually rebuilding their lives.
We are coming together as a community to support Robyn and Charlie during this incredibly difficult time. Any contribution, no matter how small, will help ease the burden and give them a path forward.
*** a drop site for physical donations, such as clothing or gift cards, has also been set up ***
Magnolia Library and Community Center
1 Lexington Ave, Gloucester, MA
Tuesday, 12-4pm
Wednesday, 9-3pm
Thursday, 12-4pm
Thank you

Rick and took a walk out to Rafe’s Chasm on Tuesday in between the rain drops.  You could see Boston was raining and it was making its way to Cape Ann.
