Jellyfish at Magnolia Beach

Hi Joey, This is Claire from Magnolia.
On my walk this morning, I saw two large jellyfishes on Magnolia Beach. This one is about 11“ x 14“. The other one was slightly smaller and reddish. So be careful if you are thinking of dipping your feet in the water.

Amy Miller Loves Gloucester

Dear Joey,
Good afternoon. Hi. My name is Amy and I have loved Gloucester since I was a little kid.
Now, I’m a big kid and live in the North Shore , and am taking photography lessons and come up to Gloucester to walk and take photos for class
Well, I’ve gotten really good and this morning, I met a guy who writes a little blog for you
I don’t know his name
But I wondered if you might like to see or have some of my photos.Let me know
And stay cool up there
Amy Miller

Gloucester Little League Raffle Baskets

Want to win an awesome raffle basket….AND support Gloucester Little League?  Of course you do!   Look at just some of the great baskets that Gloucester Little League will be raffling off.  With the help of some very motivated members and volunteers, Gloucester Little League was able to pull off an abbreviated season and the players (and their families) are so excited to be back on the field.  With all sorts of important Covid precaution protocols in place, however, the concession stands obviously could not open.  A large portion of the league’s fundraising comes from those concessions.  So, there is no better time to support your local ball players than right now!

Tickets cost $5 for 1 and $20 for 6.  You can either Venmo Melissa FrancisMeagan Marrone or Jennifer Johnson or mail a check to GLL at 30 Webster Street c/o Jeff Francis.

The Facebook Live Raffle will happen on August 6th….so, if you’re writing a check be certain to mail it soon!  

Get them while you can…

Relaxing evening at Oliver’s Harbor

We returned to one of our “regular” stops on Main Street for dinner at Oliver’s Harbor. Masked servers happy to assist, great view, safely separate seating made for a lovely evening. The lobster carbonara was very good, lightly sauces and full of fresh peas and bacon. Jim had the Cobb salad with chicken which he enjoyed very much. Always a treat. Thanks, Oliver’s Harbor!
