Anyone want to guess??

Anyone want to guess how my morning started?  Technically it started last night with a desperate text from my daughter who lives in Reading so there’s 1 hint.   The photo below is hint #2. 😀

 

 

A girl can dream…

If only I had an extra 5 mil hanging around….I’d be all over this!    If you want to dream a little too check out the listing at Coldwell Banker’s site while I head out to play the lottery 😀Capture2

Pet of Week- Hayley


Talk about your adorable, mushy young adult! This girl knows how to work at the heart strings! She is a super affectionate and goofy gal. She loves hanging out with the office staff here and can often be caught curled up on her blankets and suckling on an edge of her comforter (never chews it just sucks on it). It really is one of the cutest things ever when she falls asleep with the blanket in her mouth like a toddler with their thumb! Hayly loves going for walks and enjoys the company of other dogs. She is very good about going potty outside and settles very well in her crate overnight or if you need to head out, as long as she has a good chew bone and a comforter to suckle on she is content to wait for your return. Hayly is happy to meet everyone and free with her kisses. She is a strong girl and still needs to learn not to give in to the urge to jump or pull but she is practicing self control and getting better every day. Hayly is considered special needs because she recently went through heartworm treatment so her new family needs to keep her exercise level on the low end for another couple of months and follow up with their veterinarian. Hayly is super sweet and if you like a big girl with a gentle soul and a comedic side this is the lady for you!

This is the Church….Where is its Steeple?

Rockport’s Congregational Church is having a pretty significant remodel. It has been interesting to walk by and see the progress.  This week it was literally in pieces.  Not an easy job so kudos to those making it happen.

Elder Abuse Hotline Change

trixy546's avatarCape Ann Community

Beginning Friday, June 30, 2017, the Executive Office of Elder Affairs will centralize the Elder Protective Services abuse reporting system (Elder Abuse Hotline) to a single phone number. The 24/7 single phone number will simplify the process for elder abuse reporting.

All calls (day or night, 7 days a week) will go directly to the Massachusetts-based call center at 1-800-922-2275, regardless of the location of the reporter or the elder. While the initial report intake will be centralized, all reports will continue to be referred to and handled by local Protective Services Agencies for screening, investigation, and service planning.

Beginning June 30, 2017, to report suspected elder abuse, please call the statewide 24-hour hotline at 1-800-922-2275.

More information about Protective Services can be found at www.seniorcareinc.org/services/protective-services.

HAPPY ONE WEEK OLD BIRTHDAY FOR OUR PIPING PLOVER CHICKLETS, ALL FOUR!!! – AND VOLUNTEER HELP IS MUCH NEEDED FOR THE COMING FOURTH OF JULY WEEKEND

Good Morning Sleepy Head ~ Seven-day-old Piping Plover Chick Snuggling Under Dad

Happy Birthday to our Good Harbor Beach Piping Plover chicks! All four have made it to the one week birthday milestone and that is nothing short of a miracle (born Thursday morning, June 22). The volunteers are making a tremendous difference, the trash situation is being managed by the DPW and volunteers, and fewer dog owners are bringing their dogs to the beach. Thank you to everyone for taking such great care. If the PiPl can survive the first two weeks, their chance of survival increases exponentially.

This weekend is not only the fourth of July, but a heat wave is predicted. Volunteers are much needed on Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, especially between the hours of 11:30 to 3:30. If you can spare some time and would like to spend an hour at Good Harbor Beach being a Piping Plover ambassador, please email Ken Whittaker at kwhittaker@gloucester-ma.gov.

Our East Gloucester neighborhood kids named the Piping Plover parents Papa Joe and Mama Joy. This year’s chicks hatched during Fiesta and an anonymous reader suggested we name the chicks Me chi, Samiou, Tutti, and Mutti. I kind of love that!

After first snuggling under Dad’s wing, the little seven-day old chick popped up and immediately began to scratch an itch. He scratched so hard that he knocked himself over. Then off he ran pell mell for a yummy breakfast of sand fleas.

Papa Joe making room for one more under his wing.

PIPING PLOVER FLYER FOR ANYONE TO PRINT!

THANK YOU HAZEL!
