Adult Foster Care Info From Janet-
ADULT FOSTER CARE of the NORTH SHORE is a unique agency that places adults with disabilities in private homes where the home caregiver receives payment from MassHealth.
Our clients have a wide range of disabilities from very mild to severe, and ADULT FOSTER CARE works with caregivers to find the right client for the home. The client must have a daily personal care need.
Adult Foster Care is part of a growing, exciting statewide program in Massachusetts. The focus is to keep adults with disabilities in the community instead of an institution. Our team of professionals works with clients and caregivers to ensure a stable, healthy placement. We are available and welcome inquiries. We are located at 180 Main St., Gloucester in the Action Building. Please call us at 978-281-2612 if you are interested in our program.
Clients
Anyone may refer a potential client to Adult Foster Care. Our clients are adults (over age 16) with disabilities and a daily personal care need related to the disability.
What kind of disability would qualify a client for the program? The disability may be mental or physical. Many of our clients are already associated with other agencies, and we work with the other agencies to find the optimal setting for the individual client.
What defines a “personal care need?” A personal care need is related to hygiene, dressing, grooming, eating, and mobility. A disabled client may require physical assistance with bathing or may require daily monitoring for hygiene and appropriate dressing.

Turning 60 today!
Ok… I’ll admit it. This year has been agony for me. From my birthday last year until a few weeks ago, the twinges of another milestone birthday were gnawing at me. But just as the big day was drawing near, I started thinking about the good parts of the age I’m at. So here goes….
1. I remember the very beginning of TV. A little roundish box with squiggly lines, but so much fun to watch. I thought June Cleaver, Spanky, and all were really black and white people!
2. I went to school when kids went home for lunch and believed that “Duck and Cover” would save us from the Bomb.
3. I slowly discarded my parents conservative beliefs of the 40’s and 50’s and found my own path.
4. I listened to WMEX and the Red Sox on a tiny transistor radio. Arnie Ginsberg and Curt Gowdy.
5. I knew every stat of the ’67 Red Sox and followed the games faithfully through thick and thin.
6. I lived when we all took piano lessons and were expected to sit through the hour long sermon at church. I think I counted 120 tiles in the ceiling of the Congregational Church in Magnolia.
6. We jumped off the pier, went to the beach, “borrowed” dinghies to party on the Island. Sunscreen? What was that?
7. I got married early, had two kids by the time I was 20. I got to grow up with them through the late 60’s and 70’s. Little hippies! Now I have 4 active grandchildren, and I’m still young enough to pass on all the great music, the Mystery Rides, my love of nature and learning, and stuff that I’ve learned along the way.
8. I lived when music was moving in a new direction. Actually many new directions. In come the Beatles, the Stones, Cream, Traffic, Led Zeppelin, Janis, Miles Davis. They changed our world, and those who have passed on left their legacy. My grandson loves this classic music, and it’s great to listen with him. I love today’s music too. John Mayer, Mastiyahu, Dave Matthews, Jack Johnson, on and on on my Ipod. Thanks to my friend Skip, I’ve gone to 3 concerts in the past month. Tonight we’re off to see Phish again!
9. I’ve come to know and love toys. My son thinks I’m imbilically attached to my computer. My digital Nikon is always by my side. When my cell phone dies, a little piece of me goes with it. An uncharged Ipod?? Unthinkable!
10. I’m so grateful for the friends I’ve met on this incredible journey. I wouldn’t trade 20 years for any of you! I love you all!
Now off to get an iphone to celebrate the next decade!
If you’re celebrating your 60th birthday, please feel free to add your happy thoughts to the list!

Rhumb Line’s Thursday Night’s Blues Party, Saturday at Lat 43, Sunday outta town
From Dave Sag –
Whew! A busy week ahead as I plow myself even deeper into the electrical field, so, here goes:
Thursday nite at the Rumline: We got ‘er again: Ms. Lisa Marie, The unobliviated Queen of da blooz, Hip-shakin’ her way thru yet another evening of frenzy. Backing her up will be our old friend and keyboard octopus, Mr. Cliff Spencer. Also, Forrest”Frosty” Padgett on the drumbulators as well as Greg T. on glitar. Me, myself and I complete this five piece septet. Another great nite!
Then,on Saturday nite, look out for miasmic gas attacks, as I hit the stage at Blat 43 to make a mess out of the Mike O’connell band. Joey Scrima’s drumbing, with Mike and Jat Appt trying to keep it cool. Fat chance.
And Sunday I’ll be at Glenn’s Cool Bar and Restaurant in Nbpt.
with Justin Quinn and his sweet and sore band. It’s a lot of fun playin’ with these clowns, among whom will be Jon Ross, Per Hanson and Curtis “Lemay” Haines, the Pope of Nbpt. Hours are 6 to9, food is great, so , bring a date and dine by the whites of her eyes!
Oops! cops bangin’ on my door…Gotta go! Seeya!

Yep, it’s that little “gingerbread house” (according to Grandkid #4). I like Frank‘s guess! “I know exactly where that is…… I just can’t remember”! But Nate got it first,”That’s Athena’s house, off Washington Street just up from Plum Cove beach in Lanesville”, followed by Damon,“It is in fact right down the street from me

CATA Buss Passes Bus Stop While People Illegally Park
The move of the bus stop can not come soon enough. I haven’t seen the bus stop spots free of illegally parked cars once and the buses just cruise on past without even pretending to slow down in the designated spaces.

PHISH @ Phenway!
I’m not sure which was more exciting – seeing Phish for the frist time or being in right field at Fenway. I think everyone there felt the awe of standing where our beloved Red Sox players are each game.As we were picking up the tickets (thank you s000 much, Skip!), it started to rain, but as often happens, the thunderstorm quickly passed and the concert went on on time!

Random Thoughts About The North Shore Mall
The new restaurant inside Neiman Marcus looks interesting and if the food is half as good as it sounds on the menu it should be worth a visit. We’ll report soon.
The smell of perfume coming out of Abercrombie and Fitch is way over the top obnoxious.
The Apple Store is always packed. Amazing that they get twice the price for an an Apple computer than they do for a similarly spec’d out PC.
It baffles me how all the high end stores that are routinely empty as far as customer volume can afford to pay rent and employ people but the spaces in the new wing are getting filled up.

Sharon’s BP Update
So I went off my third blood pressure med last Friday determined to stay off. I made the commitment to myself to exercise regularly (and I added Omega 3-6-9 capsules from Common Crow). I rode 12 slow miles on Monday, walked on Tuesday, Weds and Thurs I goofed off, Fri rode on the bike on the indoor trainer. Yesterday afternoon I had my BP checked and it was 20 points lower than a week ago on the medicine!
So we’ll see how this all works out. I rode 11 hard miles (hills) today into Rockport. It feels great though! I’ll keep you posted! —Sharon
