Melodey’s garden
My youngest daughter Melodey asked if she could take over the planting of our humble garden this year and of course I said ABSOLUTELY! So being “THE” garden planting week of the year, she and I ventured off to Wolf Hill to pick out some flowers to spruce up our yard! Let’s hope she helps with the watering all summer too!!!

Mel with our bounty!

Rebecca at Wolf Hill was ready with a smile to help us check out…thanks Rebecca!!

Wolf Hill is all stocked up and ready to roll for the weekend! So stop on up!

Promise Fulfilled
A shout out to my “How much money is in the money jug” winner, Beverly Bernhard, for fulfilling her promise of sending 1/2 of her winnings to the charity of her choice.
Beverly selected Family Promise North Shore Boston and they were very happy to receive her donation.
They do great work and I am thrilled that GMG could help with a small donation to support all that they do for the families they serve.

The Schooner Near By

The schooner near by, sleepily dropping down the tide—the little boat slack-tow’d astern,
The hurrying tumbling waves, quick-broken crests, slapping,
The strata of color’d clouds, the long bar of maroon-tint, away solitary by itself—the spread of purity it lies motionless in,
The horizon’s edge, the flying sea-crow, the fragrance of salt marsh and shore mud;
These became part of that child who went forth every day, and who now goes, and will always go forth every day.
Walt Whitman, from There Was A Child Went Forth.

Glowing Tower at Beauport
Heading to work this morning I noticed the glowing copper roof on the tower of the Beauport gleaming through the foggy morning and of course I only had my iphone, but I still thought it made a great contrast to our Fisherman’s green patina!

SELL OUT WARNING: Roomful of Blues Cruise this SUNDAY
When I lived for a while in the mountains near Woodstock, NY, people there used to say, “We have three seasons: July, August and Winter.” This spring might make you wonder if the same is true here in Gloucester. It’s not. Nice weather is around the corner and it starts this weekend when we celebrate Memorial Day and call it the beginning of summer (even though astronomically, summer isn’t for another 4 weeks). So … good riddance oh nasty spring — IT’S TIME TO PARTY!
But here’s the thing: even if our capricious New England weather decides not to cooperate, which we all know is possible, you can still party in supreme comfort aboard The Beauport Prince Cruise Ship on Memorial Day Sunday with 5-time Grammy nominees Roomful of Blues! That’s because the Beauport Princess is a Cruise Ship (not a whale watch boat) sporting 2 climate-controlled indoor decks with dance floors PLUS an open-air top deck — and there’s a full bar on every deck. For this cruise, we have theatre seating on the first deck, tables on the 2nd deck and couches on the top deck — because Mother Nature could be nice to us after all! Tickets are only $35 in advance ($45 at the dock if there are any left — this cruise has sold out the last 2 years). It’s the best Memorial Day bargain you’ll find so get tickets right now RIGHT HERE!
GHS cool Class of 1971: Who did this?
Were you there? Who did you go with? Who organized the line up? Who did the poster?
Do you have photos?
How did I get here? The Gloucester High School gym was named after Albert Bacheler, as in the former Principal and owner of the very special Civil War era coat needing restoration. We’ve heard from Gloucester graduates and former teachers with no recollection of the coat. We’ve also heard from some that remember seeing it. Thanks to Barry Pett and Ken Joyce for adding in details. I’m looking for interior photographs of the old gym, especially those showing the cadet side where we’ve been told the coat was featured. On this poster it’s simply G.H.S. Gym.
Barry Pett’s graduation year made me think of 1970s high school concerts held in gyms, and there you have it: off road research and fun side trips.
