Spirit of Gratitude and Sharing

Posted on by Pat D

Happy Thanksgiving to you all. I hope you are able to spend time with family and friends this holiday and to reflect a bit on gratitude. I am very grateful that the Gloucester community has embraced us as we transition from New Yorkers to the Gloucestermen we always have been deep inside. Relocating doesn’t grant us authentic Gloucester roots on its own, but the roots run deep in family ties and cultural history. So thank you all for accepting us with open arms.

I was reflecting on the fact that this Thanksgiving will be special in that we have our troops home from Afghanistan. Thanksgiving in 1918 after World War I ended and in 1945 must have felt similar relief so here are some snippets from the Gloucester Daily Times in 1918, 1945, and the year I was born (which is up to me to know and you to find out, but is sometime AFTER 1945……) Words of wisdom from the editor that year included “spirit of gratitude and sharing” ; timeless.

Coral-copia! Great News at Great Barrier Reef- superb spawning season 2021 plus generous support from Billie Eilish #Cairns #Australia

Marine biologist, (Gareth) “Phillips said conditions have to be just right for the reef to erupt — it only happens at night, several days after a full moon, the ocean must be calm and water temperatures above 26 degrees for a full month.”

Kristy Sexton-McGrath, “Great Barrier Reef Explodes with Life…“. ABC. 11/23/2021

The Great Barrier Reef coral spawning event was captured on film by scientists off the coast of Cairns overnight. (Supplied: Calypso Productions) – one of the photos accompanying the article

“…This spawning event is another sign that the reef is recovering, it is not all doom and gloom for the reef, it is looking amazing and it is very encouraging to see it bouncing back.”

Barns Along the Byway on Washington Street

Posted on by Pat D

We drive by this beauty regularly and have always found it to be commanding and majestic. Sitting right across from the Bay View Cemetery on Washington Street, I found it especially pretty on a gorgeous November day. The weathervane is enchanting.
