Way to Represent, Traci Budrow!

Posted on by Nichole S.

I watched different meteorologists and news reporters knocking out storm coverage all day long from their windy, wet, and cold vantage points on T Wharf and Bearskin Neck in Rockport…from my warm home.  At one point I thought to myself, “It’d be nice to make sure they have some hot coffee since they’ve been down there for hours”….but I didn’t.

You know who did take the initiative to go take care of them though?  Rockport’s Traci Budrow…that’s who!  And, not just with coffee.  Good job, Traci.  Way to represent the charming town of Rockport.

St. Joseph’s Novena…a time for prayer, support and tradition

Posted on by Bridgette Mathews

St. Joseph Novena started last Friday night and as always it’s an unbelievably beautiful time to share the rosary with some amazing strong supportive women.  “…St. Joseph, you have blessed us with the gift of friendship, the bonding of persons in a circle of love.  Friends who love us, who share our sorrows, laugh with us in celebration, bear our pain, who needs us as we need them, who weep as we weep, who holds us when words fail, and who gives us the freedom to be ourselves.  Bless our friendships with health, wholeness, life and love..Amen”

 

Hoping Shovels Will Turn into Fishing Rods Again Soon

Posted on by Nichole S.

As we plan for a significant mid-March snowfall, I can’t help but wish that we were taking out the fishing rods this morning instead of the shovels.  Sigh.  Soon enough, right?  Photos like this make me happy and help me keep my eyes on the prize….which is another fantastic summer not too far around the corner (or over the snowbank).
