The Burying Point
Salem is always an interesting walk around…although I would suggest you wait until after the “Halloween festivities” have ended. One of the most interesting spots is The Burying point . It is the oldest burial ground in the city of Salem and the final resting place for many from a dark chapter in Salem’s history. It’s the home to at least one accused witch, Mary Corey, a sinister player in the Salem Witch Trials. Also buried here is Justice John Hathorne, an ancestor of Nathaniel Hawthorne and one of the judges in the Witchcraft Court. As we walked through the cemetery it was interesting to see the notes and flowers left by the families of the deceased even hundreds of years later!

“GrimSweeper”
Surfari Stand Up Paddle and Surf shared this photo taken yesterday off of Gloucester….with this caption “So there have been confirmed GrimSweeper sightings from @dontfearthesweeper down in Florida. Today he made an appearance in Gloucester, Ma to slide a couple waves.”
Totally creepy and cool at the same time! And, check out Surfari here…one of the Schrafft boys’ favorite stores for sure (and one of their mom’s favorites too while we’re on the subject).
Happy Halloween!

Thank you, Rockport!
I mean seriously. If you want to have warm fuzzies about the town that you live in, move to Rockport and Trick-or-Treat along Main Street and down on Bearskin Neck.
That’s exactly what we did yesterday afternoon. From 4:00 -6:00 shop owners opened their doors to trick-or-treaters and the town was hopping. While my boys go to school out of town, they are blessed to have friends from the neighborhood, from soccer, from baseball, from sailing, from hockey, and even some from school that they’ve met while growing up in what we’ve always referred to as “God’s Country.” It was so fun watching the boys chit-chat with friends from all different corners of their lives while strolling along downtown.
Take a lovely fall afternoon (well, at least until the rain came), adorable children in Halloween costumes, gracious shop owners/employees, friendly faces, some good laughs, and one of the most beautiful backdrops in the world….and you get Halloween on the Neck. Throw in dinner at Top Dog….and it doesn’t get any better.
So, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU to everyone who made it possible to create such fun memories for so many children.
Here are just a few photos….including my own little Adam Levine from Maroon 5. He kills me.

See, some people look at this baby octopus and say ‘How cute”
Me on the other hand would be thinking “Yikes! I wonder what poisonous toxins it is releasing through it’s tentacles and how long before the guy dies.”

Topics include:
Kate asked me what I wanted to do for my Birthday. I asked what do you mean?Hatchet, Husky Bucket organizer, a caster for the Blue Performer, a charcoal grate for the new Blue performer,Kate had a sketch that Jeremy Frost made of the dock and my notification letter from Weber that I’d been named Griller of the week matted by Ana Eves at www.CapeAnnGiclee.com they are now doing full service matting.
So as to the hatchet, I’ve had like ten people in the short amount of time I’ve had it look at me sideways as if I’m not competent enough to use a hatchet. It’s very insulting.

DIA DE LOS MUERTOS PAPEL PICADO
I love the designs of the Papel Picado, especially the Dia de los Muertos skeletons doing everyday things. I found some at Nomad in Cambridge. Deb Colburn, the owner, curates gorgeous folk art for her shop from all around Mexico, and from all around the world. She’s a very sweet person to stop in and visit with, and is also very knowledge about Mexican culture. Nomad is located at 1741 Massachusetts Avenue in Cambridge.
