The legendary Jon Butcher hits the Rhumb Line to put his
rootsy and soulful music on display once again. Away on the
west coast for some 3 decades, Jon has picked up exactly
where he left off since returning to us a few years ago. He
is a busy and driven man for sure, with new music weaved
into every show. These appearances are quite rare, so you
just don’t want to miss ‘em when they come around. ~ Fly
Dinner with great music!
*Each week features a special, invited musical guest
Dave Trooper’s Kitchen…
Prepared fresh weekly by “Troop”… always good!
Plus a fine, affordable wine menu!

One Hour at a Time Gang

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

Since the weather is starting to get cold and nasty the One Hour at a Time Gang will be taking a break for the winter.  This does not mean we will not be picking up.  We always carry a yellow bag to try and keep our city clean.  Also the city has passed a motion on litter. Please read below the information on this motion.  The motion states that cigarette butts are litter.  Please remember to dispose your smoking materials properly and not on the streets, rivers or oceans.

I like to point out great deals.  This is a great deal.  $5.99 a lb for choice ribeyes when you buy three steaks or more.  These are usually $9-$11 a lb.

Got a bunch for the crew for Sunday dinner. There was boneless and semi-boneless all with nice marbling.   No one complained Smile

Winter Classic

Posted on by Nichole S.

If you’ve read any of what I’ve written since joining GMG, you probably know that my boys play a lot of hockey and it is a big part of their childhoods as well as our lives.

School vacation week was certainly no different.  Thatcher’s team was entered into a four-day tournament sponsored by the Boston Bruins.  While they ultimately did not win the tournament, they were one of the finalists, and for that they were handsomely rewarded.  Medals, hats, backpacks, team photos, etc….and then, the awesome icing on the cake, tickets for the entire team, coaches, and one parent per child to the coveted Winter Classic.

Not only did they score tickets, but they were given front row seats. Granted, being only 8-years old and a bit vertically challenged, they had a difficult time seeing the action take place way out in the center of the Pat’s playing field….but awesome seats nonetheless.

Kudos to the Boston Bruins for once again rewarding these young, budding athletes and helping to create memories to last a lifetime.

DOES ANYONE HAVE AN EXTRA COPY?

Posted on by Kimsmithdesigns

Does anyone have an extra copy of the latest issue of the Cape Ann Community Connection phone book (2015-2016)? My friend Dawn noticed that it is my photo on the cover of her copy and she texted the snapshot below. I forgot to give my husband a heads up and in his zealousness to recyle, I think ours may have ended up in the bin. Please comment in the comment section if you do have a copy you can spare. Thank you so much!IMG_8631

LET ME OUT!

Posted on by Kimsmithdesigns

Filming at a peaceful location early one morning, this little guy nearly scared the bejesus out of me when he suddenly began to hurl himself against the inside walls of a nearby dumpster. He peered out and unaware of my presence, resumed desperately gnawing at the dumpster’s sliding door. Judging from the appearance of the door it looked as though he had been chewing all night long. Not wanting to get bit, I grabbed a stick and stood to the side while sliding the door open. He took his cue and flew out of the dumpster like a bat out of hell. Never a dull moment photographing wildlife!squirrel trapped in a dumpster©Kim Smith 2015

Elaine SH (2)If you have not yet attended  Elaine O’Rourke’s Sound Healing Journey, put it on the top of your to do list for the New Year! This experience is hard to describe, and if you’ve been…you know what we mean. The description is below, but here are a few things we thought you should know before attending!

    1. There is NO  physical yoga involved. That’s right! You just lay down on your yoga mat, listen and hopefully become absorbed into the sound.
    2. Every one’s experience is different. Some people fall asleep, others feel like they are floating in and out. Some say they could feel the sounds moving through them.
    3. The sounds works at a deep cellular level which promotes healing.  People have had a decrease in aches and pains, reduced anxiety, better sleep. It has helped some to gain insight and clarity.
    4. You will leave this event feeling extremely relaxed, so…
