Taking a few days off….
The family’s heading out to Amherst this weekend to watch Grandkid #1 cheer for the UMass football team. For all of us it will be a well-earned mini vacation. We’re looking forward to seeing Cait and getting out of town.
See you on Monday with a new WhereZat contest! Have a great weekend!

The Trustees of Reservations is offering a series of events at Ravenswood Park in Gloucester:

Families are welcome to join in the newest treasure hunt “Sweetbay Swamp Quest” and learn about this new family sport, make your own stamps, and make your own passbooks. Learn how and what animals eat with close-up views of animal skulls. Costumes are welcome. Free to all.
Saturday, Nov. 7, 1-3 p.m.: Ravenswood Rocks! Geological features tour with DCR’s John Ratti. A rock is not a thing, but a drama.

Where Zat Winner!
After 2 rounds of clues, Scott finally came up with the location of the spooks.
They’re on the corner of Millett and Summit St.
Scott, how’d you figure it out?
Congratulations and you can pick up your t-shirt at Joey’s at the end of the week!
Up past the sub shop, (Destino’s)
Church on the right, (Our Lady’s)
One, two streets (Mt. Vernon,Warner)
Field in sight,(Burnham’s Field)
Street with a W, (Warner St.)
Not with a B, (Burnham St.)
Then past the street that starts with a T, (Trask St.)
Right up M street (Millett St.)
on the corner of S, (Summit St.)
You’ll find those spooks,
and the end of your quest!

Behind the field where the kids play ball,
Turn up a hill and on the corner wall
You’ll see them there
As plain as can be,
On a street that ends with a T.

Another indoor Saturday. What to do?
I’m getting used to at least one rainy weekend day. Actually accomplishing all those things that have been ignored for months. Today I’m tackling the computer/ exercise room as well as a list of errands a mile long. But first I’m making Anadama french toast for breakfast. That will hit the spot!
What are your plans for the day? Big food? A room make-over? A lazy day on the couch? Happy Saturday!
Good Morning Gloucester
