West Gloucester Eagle

Posted on by Pat D

As we were leaving yesterday’s podcast from Mom’s Kitchen (great BLT!), we set the GPS to go to Ipswich River Craft to pick up an order. We defied the GPS voice and took 133 toward Ipswich. As she was repeating endlessly “Route recalculation” “Route recalculation” and we were trying to tune it out; an eagle suddenly flew alongside us to land in a tree near the tracks near Tony Tally’s. It was as if it was trying to redirect us also. Which it did since we followed it and stopped for some pictures. It was calling so loudly I was sure its mate was over my shoulder. It flew off in the general direction of the water alone still seeking its partner. So, I guess it pays to go off the recommended path sometimes! And right in West Gloucester saving a drive to Medford!

Cape Ann Chamber of Commerce’s Initiative to Emerge Cape Ann Strong

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Greater Cape Ann Chamber of Commerce's avatarCape Ann Community

Cape Ann’s small business community has proven how resilient, persistent, and creative we truly are. Over the course of the past year, our local businesses have experienced mandated closures and state regulations to help keep our community safe while enduring significant challenges. These businesses that make Cape Ann unique need our help to persevere. We are asking that you show we are  stronger together  by supporting your neighbors in take out, delivery, online ordering, or visiting their location for something special. Each week we will highlight one restaurant and one retailer for the community to rally behind. We implore you, Cape Ann, to keep our businesses strong so we can continue visiting them in brighter days ahead. This week we invite you to visit Laneside Pub and Brewery at Cape Ann Lanes and shop at Toodeloos! for a family night!

Cape Ann Strong, Stronger Together!

Cake Explosion Gift a Big Hit

Posted on by Pat D

We recently sent our daughter this “exploding” cake. It was meant as a surprise but I accidentally ruined the butterfly surprise. That actually turned out to be a blessing because I had the opportunity to ask her to record the box opening. It was a fun gift that cost about $60 to send….well worth it for this occasion. You may have heard Joey recommend I share this video for your enjoyment, so here goes the surprise! Check them out at http://www.SendACake.com.

With a son named, Thatcher, I have taken my fair share of photos of Thacher’s Island and its Twin Lights….but, if I’m being honest, it was all of the shades of blue that caught my eye the other day.

We were treated to a few antics from the seals at Brace Cove recently. I hadn’t seen them in a while so it was fun to be “reunited”. We observed come cavorting and some “hey, this is my side of the rock” behavior.
