I grabbed these shots this morning around 9 and by the time I walked back to my car and drove home…the river was completely fogged in!  Only in New England! 😀  

I’m awaiting the final tally from Maria Seniti.  Here are the guesses.  The guessing period has closed.  Closest guess wins a free hanger steak and two drinks from The Franklin Cape Ann! Thanks for playing!

The winner will be announced on today’s GloucesterCast podcast that we will be taping this morning.

The contest stemmed from the Alicia Unleashed Podcast we taped Thursday evening, you can hear the conversation that sparked the contest timestamp linked by the clicking on the times listed before each topic here-

My guess was based on 17 years x 340 days per year x 18 Hanger steaks sold per day= 104,040. 

Last night stopped by Cape Ann Collectors at 474 Washington Street, Gloucester to see some more present and past Plein Air paintings.  Met one of this year’s artist Joe Lombardo and loved two of his painting, “Breaking Blue” and “Autumn”.

Emile A Gruppe’ “Mending the Nets”
Charles Movalli, “Lobster Cove”

The gallery also has works by past masters, including Emile A. Gruppe’ (1896-1978) and Charles Movalli (1945-2016)

The beach was dotted with bright yellow bags and dogs this morning for the clean up sponsored by Clean Gloucester/ Gloucester Clean City Commission.  Coffee provided by Happy Belly (thanks so much!) brightened up the damp morning.  Ainsley told me that almost 40 people helped out by picking up garbage and recyclables at Good Harbor Beach this morning.  It seems the weather did not hold anyone back!  Great turnout.  GMG was well represented by Donna Ardizzoni and FOB Melissa Cox was helping out as well.

These people take the “carry out” rules very seriously!

The Clean Gloucester people were very efficient and friendly.  They even re-use the yellow collection bags!!  Now, that’s in the spirit of Clean Gloucester!  Well done, everyone.
