The Blue Lobster Grille in Rockport shared the following update on Facebook yesterday (Sunday Nov 28). You still have a few days to get there to show support!

The Gloucester Education Foundation took time during Thanksgiving to thank and highlight some of its recent donors….such as Warren Waugh (and furry friends Willy + Jilly) of Lyon-Waugh Auto Group. They have made incredibly generous donations to Gloucester High School’s Auto Tech program annually for the past several years. Those donations have been instrumental in growing the program in many positive ways. It’s a good time for us to also express our thanks to GEF. The Gloucester Education Foundation is a wonderful asset to the school system. If you haven’t checked out their website and some of the important work they do, you should do so now. While browsing their site, be sure to take a look at some of the other donors who help support the GEF in very important ways.
The Gloucester Education Foundation drives innovation, encourages creativity, expands student opportunities and empowers educators to strengthen teaching and learning in the Gloucester Public School District.

We have been in New York to celebrate Thanksgiving with family but when we returned, we were greeted with lovely late afternoon light and a stunning sunset. We missed you Glosta!

About your home from Jameson at Another Level Home Inspection LLC

The holidays bring many exciting events and things to look forward to with family and friends. As a home inspector, this is also the time of year that certain issues tend to be at their greatest frequency. Weather is getting colder, systems for heating are getting their first use of the season, and appliances for cooking are getting the most use of the year. We run across more venting, exhaust, and gas leakage issues now than any other time of year. There are many aspects of these systems that can result in an issue, but here are a couple tips to improve safety.
Get your heating system and any combustion appliances serviced: We come across improperly vented boilers, furnaces, water heaters, and all other appliances regularly. I find it alarming the frequency Ifind improperly…

Nia Routine: Trio: The Music of George Gershwin
So many standards from the American Songbook were written by George Gershwin. Embraceable You, Our Love is Here to Stay and more. So many contemporary artists are revisiting and recording new versions of the old standards like Willie Nelson, Diana Krall, Linda Ronstadt. Why? Because this music is so timeless. And it’s great to dance to. We will be dancing to new versions of the Gershwin standards. Come join us at the Zoom Stardust Ballroom. Well at least join me in my basement studio and we will have fun dancing to the Tunes of George Gershwin.
