Thank you for taking the time to read our story.
My cousin Kim, who grew up in Gloucester Ma, where all her immediate and extended family still reside had a daughter born with tricuspid atresia on March 2, of this year. He story can be read in detail on her go fund me page. But here is the information. They live on the coast of North Carolina. At Kimmi’s 18 week ultrasound they got the unfortunate news that Eva would be born with a Congenital Heart Defect called Tricuspid Atresia. She would be born without the right side of her heart. Kimmi and Jason live over 3 hours from the hospital. Eva is receiving her care at Duke University Hospital, in the Pediatric Cardiac Program, which is top ranked in the nation.
Soon after they learned about Eva, Kimmi and Jason educated themselves about her diagnosis and learned Eva would need at least 3 surgeries within the first 3 years of her life. Fortunately, I was blessed to fly from Boston to NC for her birth to support Kim and Jason with whatever they faced after Eva was born, due to yhe unknown outcome after birth. Eva did not need surgery immediatly after birth, and was discharged home for the first four weeks. She did well at home, eating, growing, etc, until Good Friday, April 3, 2015. Eva took a fast, unexpected decline, and was rushed into her first surgery at Duke.
Yesterday Eva faced her second of the 3 surgeries which will lasted approximately 4-5 hours, which will be followed by weeks of recovery. Looking to share her story to gain support and awareness.
Please let me know if you can help! I can provide more information if needed!!!

Something I Haven’t Seen since 1989 At The Dock- A New Shipment of wooden (read Not Wire) Lobster Traps @CaptJoeLobster #GloucesterMA
I’d say once a month someone calls the dock looking for an old used wood lobster trap they can put a piece of glass on and turn into a decorative coffee table. The answer for as long as I can remember has been “The fishermen haven’t used wooden traps forever.”
Now with this load of wooden lobster traps it’s the first one I‘ve seen in a whole long time.
Bringing it back “Old School” at Captain Joe and Sons Lobster
74.8 pounds. That should be a pleasure to handle all day 🙂

SHOUT OUT TO GLOUCESTER’S CARL EKBORG!
Gloucester’s former deputy fire chief, Carl Ekborg, was reluctant for me to acknowledge his good work, but did you ever wonder why off-the-beaten trail beaches such as Brace Cove look so pristine? From one end of the beach to the opposite end, weekly Carl cleans the beach of the garbage that has washed ashore. This mound is only one half of today’s trash collection. THANK YOU CARL!

A Book Party in Rockport!
Please stop by this Sunday, July 19th and join Mary Faino at her shop in Rockport, The Paper Mermaid, along with me (aka S.D. Kelly) for a party in celebration of our new release: A Day in Rockport.
Mary created beautiful illustrations of iconic places throughout Rockport, and I wrote the text to go along with her work. It was a fun collaboration and we enjoyed the entire process, from choosing the places that would make it into the book — ranging from Millbrook Meadow to Bearskin Neck to the Headlands — to the more technical aspects of book design.
We’ll have locally-made treats at the party, a Scavenger Hunt, and a raffle to win a framed print of one of the illustrations in the book. Celebrate Rockport with us and stop by!

Electricity Series Update: Brian O’Connor Paid $9.73 This Month For Electricity And Cranked His AC All Month Long In First Full Month Of Solar
You may remember as part of my Electricity saving series we were there at the initial meeting between Brian and his solar adviser Kevin Pritchett read about it here
Well now after his install it’s up and running and the results are very rewarding!
Sign up to have your home evaluated for Solar by the same company Brian used who do all the paperwork and get you all the financial subsidies and incentives.
Watch the video where Brian he has zero reservations recommending anyone doing it. He says that everyone from the company from his advisor right on down through the installers were spot on and he’s really happy with the work and most importantly the savings.
SIGN UP HERE-
He used 564 kWh July 2014 and now his first full month with solar installed he used 33 kWh and paid only $9.73
SIGN UP HERE-
Here’s the progression-
Electricity Update 18 Brian and Diane O’Connor Are Going Solar
Solar Success!!! Brian and Diane O’Connor Had Their Solar Install On East Main Street #GloucesterMA Done On Earth Day and It’s Looking Sweet!
Back In January we were there when Brian’s Solar Advisor Kevin Prickett came by to look at Brian’s house and make recommendations. Here is what he had to say back in January-
Hi Joey, Just a quick follow on Brian and Diane O’Connor’s Solar evaluation. Brian and Diane’s home has qualified and they have decided to put rooftop solar on their home in Gloucester. (Only 15% of homes in MA are eligible.) Because of their home’s orientation to the sun and other factors, their entire cost will be covered by various federal, state and utility incentives. In fact they will actually be making money over and above their cost. And getting 90% of their electricity for free. If anyone else would like to find out if their home qualifies, I just need their contact information and our techs will initially rate the home via satellite. If it qualifies, we can up with a time for us to talk about how it all works. (About 90 mins.) I am in the process of working with several other Gloucester residents and will keep you posted on their progress. Many thanks for your continued support, Kevin Prickett Solar Advisor
As you can see it’s all come to fruition!
If you would like a completely free Solar evaluation to see if your house qualifies for the crazy amount of incentives and as Kevin states potentially 90% of your electricity for free, Fill Out The Form and They Will Contact You To Set It Up-
From just a few months ago in the snow for the evaluation when we took the video, to an Earth Day install, Brian’s gotta be psyched! Looking at the installation it looks like a super clean job.

Romula Art
If you are on Rocky Neck, don’t miss the opportunity to visit Romula Art Gallery, G6 on Madfish Wharf. Romula’s art is very unique, bold and done completely with her fingers – no brushes used. Many of her pieces represent street and restaurant scenes in Boston’s North End, but she also has some beautiful figurative work.
