Periwinkle Lane
One of my favorite kayaking routes is from Corliss landing past Periwinkle Lane, under the A. Piatt Andrew bridge and down through Little River. Although it can be a crazy route in the summer, early morning it can be fairly peaceful. This view is from Periwinkle Lane…most summer days there are a few kayaks and skiffs tied up in the damp marsh just waiting for the tide to come in. Looking forward to paddling again soon!

Sista Felicia’s Feast Of St. Joseph Celebration An Evening of Faith Friendship and Family!
My Cumnares who made this years St. Joseph Feast happen!
Thank you to everyone from the bottom of my heart for helping carry on Our Sicilian tradition honoring St Joseph this year. It was Awesome display of faith friendship & family from beginning to end. I’m honored to be hosting my My Aunt Vincie & Uncle Michael Militello’s Altar and honored to be doing it with most incredible Cumnares in the world. This year I felt the need to call in all the saints and angel and decided to change the color scheme of the altar wanting to look more angelic like, I now know why. This years novena became even more special and important when my princess Coconut took ill on March 15 and needed emergency surgery on March 17th. I believe in the power of prayer and being surrounded by so much love really help me make it through the last few days. Friday night wouldn’t have happened without each and every one of you. They say it takes a village and my village is filled with rock stars Im feeling blessed this morning and ask you all to continue to pray for my Coconut.
Honnored to be hosting and carrying on my Great Uncle Mike & Great Aunt Vincie Militello’s St. Joseph Tradition. The Novena I grew up attending with my mother gradmother aunts and cousins. We tresure the memories sitting at their dinningroom table singing the Sicilian songs and prayers!

Anyone having a Pee-Wee’s Big Holiday Party Tonight?
Super bummed. My entire family wants to watch 15 episodes of Daredevil on Netflix tonight. Murder, mayhem. Awful. I want to watch Pee-Wee’s Big Holiday which is now streaming on Netflix!
It debuted at SXSW on Friday! Totally awesome. It has hot female bank robbers and balloons and two women fighting over Pee-Wee! OK, maybe not that last one. Ten farmer’s daughters. Yeah, that’s it.
Is anyone having a Pee-Wee viewing party tonight and can I be invited? I will bring Cheetos and Mister T cereal and tacos made in the basement of the Alamo! Can Rubber Duck come too?

Beginning in the early 1900s, the American Father’s Day was brought to Italy, a sort of reverse sharing of holidays! Fittingly, in Italy, Father’s Day is celebrated on Saint Joseph’s Day.

Awesome Gloucester Pitch Night at GHS Tuesday
On Tuesday evening, March 22 at 7 o’clock, Awesome Gloucester will team up with the Gloucester Education Foundation to award two $1000 micro-grants to student groups with innovative ideas on how to make their community more awesome. The following four students groups will pitch their ideas to a panel of judges and members of the community:
Spring Car Maintenance: The GHS Automotive Shop would like to start a program to provide Senior Citizens and Veterans free car maintenance in the spring (e.g., wider blade replacement, oil changes, tire checks).
Fruit for the Future: High School students would like to purchase apple tree seedlings to plant at all local public schools.
Library Commons Renovations: High School students would like to renovate the school library, making it a more creative, student-friendly atmosphere.
Spring Clean Up: The NHS and Student Council would like to purchase and plant flowers around the school campus as a component of their annual spring clean-up initiative.
Two winners will be awarded $1,000 in cash, on the spot, with no strings attached. Pitch Night will take place in the GHS cafeteria and is open to the public.
This month proposals were accepted only from GHS students, normally the Gloucester chapter of the Awesome Foundation solicits proposals from the entire community and chooses the top ideas to attend a public Pitch Night on the evening of the third Monday. Submitters make their case before the 20 local trustees who have each donated $50 toward the monthly award. The top vote getters walk away with $1000 in cash. Proposals to make Gloucester more awesome can be made at Awesome Gloucester.
Good Morning Gloucester
