I’m not sure if I’m very happy for this puppy, or just very sad. I wish I could just go and buy this lil’ fella! How do you feel about such transactions? Is it a bit strange, or is it chalked up to tough times & any means necessary type living? Please feedback and fill out the poll! (Or better yet, go get this sweet pup!)

We’ll get you better weather for helping us keep schooner history alive! Thanks for your understanding.

State Senator Bruce Tarr, State Representative Ann-Margaret Ferrante and Mayor Sefatia Romeo Theken Honor a 700 Year Old Portuguese Tradition at the DES Portuguese Club.
While I called this post Strudelicious, I’ve actually never had the strudel here, but that by no means means that I can’t sing their praises! First of all, I can do so because I have heard by MANY people that their strudel is delicious. Secondly, I can do so because my boys can’t get enough of their raspberry and strawberry cream croissants. And….thirdly (and most importantly if I do say so myself) I have literally never had a better muffin in all of my life than their cranberry walnut muffins! So there. Get yourself down to the end of Bearskin Neck and grab a bite to eat SOON.
Not only is everything scrumptious, but the view off the back deck is pretty sweet too!

Thank you Lynn Bird, Amy Kerr, Catherine Ryan, Charles and George for an awesome and fabulous job! We spent the morning weeding and getting the HarborWalk beds ready to plant butterfly attracting annuals. Lynn, Amy, and Catherine are just amazingly helpful and super hard workers. With special thanks to Charles and George for their enthusiasm and wonderfully positive attitude. The boys pitch right in and just really attack the worst of the oversized weeds–we especially enjoyed the funny names they’ve assigned the most offensive weeds, names such as tidy whities!

Delish mojitos! Choose from fresh blackberries, raspberries or cucumber. Ofcourse I wanted all 3! I’m a sucker for fresh ingredients which Stone’s is known for!

When the distinctive white-tipped orange mast of the fishing vessel Little Sandra slipped below the ocean’s surface 18 miles off the coast of Rockport beyond Thacher Island this past weekend, the intentional sinking marked more than just the end of the line for the 63-foot-long vessel.
It was the end of an era for Gloucester’s historic fleet of eastern-rigged trawlers as well.
Rockport Gallery, iartcolony has three very unique pieces that were tailored to honor Cape Ann specifically.
Owner/Artist, Jill Armstrong says,
“I believe there is an audience who would love to know these were created – and would love to see them – and at only $675 – maybe take one home. One of our clients from Gloucester represented in Swampscott artist Samara Pearlstein’s art, played against Jeff Juden in highschool – got a hit off of him, during a two-hitter game. Not that long ago. And, I love the Stuffy McInnis Card – there must be an audience for them.”

Ken Hill – Donruss 1990 – Lynn, MA
Jeff Juden – Score 1994 – Salem, MA
Artist statement:
When considering Motif #1, it is impossible to not think about what it means to represent place. Motif itself has been represented over and over again, but it’s as much about an iconic image of the North Shore and its associations as it is about the building itself.
The baseball cards represented here all belong to Major League Baseball players who were born on the North Shore. With the figure removed from the baseball card, what is left are the aesthetic signifiers of a specific era, baseball’s relationship to design in that era, and a focus on place over person— a reversal of the usual role of a baseball card.
Each card also prominently features red as a design element, a selecting factor that serves as an additional nod to Motif, arguably the most famous use of red on the North Shore and in landscape painting.
