Good Morning Gloucester

Ice cream is already shuttered. Menu is winding down but still open for a few more days!

Last week in the wee hours of the morning this couple and their photographer got up before the sunrise for what I hope was an awesome engagement shoot.   They brought some props like a teepee and lanterns, but what better prop than this beautiful sky and sunrise!

“I have not talked to them,” Campanello said of the administration. “All I can say is I will cooperate fully with what they have going until the conclusion of it. I will abide by whatever they want me to do. And I look forward to getting back to work.

“I think being in a public position and being thrust into the spotlight in these last 15 months, you have to expect this sort of thing,” he said, referring to the time line of the angel program. “You have to expect it will get the attention not only of supporters, but also of people who want to strike it down and maybe take it personally.”

He was fishing there before you were a gleam in your daddy’s eye. Show some respect.

Don’t walk behind me; I may not lead. Don’t walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.

Every year our family (& friends) get together in the fall to have fun making some VINO!  In the past we’ve tried many varieties of reds, Chilean, Nero D’Avolo, and Sangiovese.   This past week we put our grape order in for 26 cases of Montepulciano grapes grown in Northern California but originating in the Abruzzo region of Italy.   This comes out to be about 936 lbs of grapes which will yield 50 gallons of wine that The Mathews’ will enjoy at all of our family gatherings throughout the year!!   We never know when the grapes will come in and are pretty much slaves to the harvest for the month of October….so until then…we will sip some Sangiovese from last year and  patiently await the grapes!!
