Pet of the Week- Fred

Posted on by Alicia Pensarosa

9.4.2017 Pet of the Week--Fred

Hi there Super Senior Fred the Cat here! My Super Power is “Zen” because I have a calm manor about me. I take whatever comes my way and go with the flow! I am around 12 years young as I’d like to say. I was found abandoned outside the shelter one day and well I am so very thankful for second chances. The Folks here cleaned me up and helped me get vet checked now I am on my hunt for a loving home and someone share the rest of my days with. I am considered a “Special Needs” adoption because I may need dental work in the future. I don’t have much in my wish list but I do like sunny windows and a warm cozy bed.

If you would open up your home and heart to a Senior Kitty like me stop by the shelter to meet me to see if I am a good match.   To see Fred and all of the other available dogs and cats at the Christopher Cutler Rich Animal Shelter please go to our website: capeannanimalaid.org.

We all know how famous Rockport’s Motif No. 1 is, but have you seen Rockport’s Mini Motif near Granite Pier?  Not as iconic…but pretty cute nonetheless.

The New Yorker Magazine- Louis Menand checks out Gloucester TS Eliot House

Posted on by Catherine

 

Not surprisingly, the Eliot House writers’ retreat is getting some major ink. Pulitzer Prize winning author, Louis Menand, writes about his visit this past spring, fleshing out some context and the mission of the T.S. Eliot Foundation. I’d tweak the title “one paradox”. Menand has written about Eliot before: his first published book was Discovering Modernism: T. S. Eliot and His Context, 1987.

“…Eliot’s father, Henry, who ran a company that manufactured bricks, took the family to Massachusetts every summer, and in 1896, the year Eliot turned eight, Henry built a big house on Cape Ann, in Gloucester, overlooking the outer harbor. Until Eliot went off to Europe, in 1914, he spent his summers there…”

MR. SWAN AND THE “NEW GIRL” UPDATE

Posted on by Kimsmithdesigns

First off, I have to say, we don’t know if the new swan is a male or female. We are all hoping she is a female, for obvious reasons, and too because as the swan gets older, if a male, Mr. Swan will most likely chase a “him” off the pond.

The young swan paddles back and forth on the far side of the pond, along the reeded edge.

Lyn Fonzo, Niles Pond resident, shares that the young swan is becoming increasingly tolerant of Mr. Swan, although she is still extremely shy and skittish. When Lyn feeds the swans in the morning, they are feeding adjacent to each other, which is a huge improvement from only a few days ago when she refused to come out from amongst the reeds.

Schooner Festival on Saturday

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

Oh another glorious day for Schooner Festival. We went to Maritime Gloucester and had a great time. We also took a sail on the Ardelle. So relaxing.

Looking forward to Monday to see the parade of sail on the Lady Jillian.
