Right on schedule, the robins have returned to our East Gloucester neighborhood! They were seen flocking to the holly berries, crabapples and sumac. This morning it was bleak and drizzly; I hope to see them back in our neighborhood on a sunnier day!
Dear Readers, If you spot robins in your garden or neighborhood, please comment in the comment section and let us know when and where. If you get a good capture of a robin, or any songbird for that matter, please send to kimsmithdesigns@hotmail.com and I will be happy to share the photos here on GMG. Thank you so much!
For more information about robins see previous posts here:

Coconut rested peacefully after we finally decided to remove the hard plastic cone from her neck last night after several hours of whimpering caused by her frustration of being unable to get in a comfy position with it on. A friend hand delivered a soft inflatable cone after hearing about her discomfort, but that too was no go for Coconut. As long as I am within reach and or in her sight she continues to rest comfortable by the fireplace and remains uninterested in the stiches in her right lower eyelid. Coconut seems more bothered by the hair shaved on her leg during surgery then her swollen eye. Dr. Ray Cahill continues to check in and warns to keep a close eye on her if she is without the protective cone. This afternoon I fixed her favorite lunch “Grilled Basil Chicken” with the hope that the smell of it cooking on the grill, would motivate her to leave her cozy spot by the fire and draw her over to my feet in the kitchen, where she usually sits when I’m cooking. My plan worked like a charm. Coconut perked right up and enjoyed every last piece.
Thank you for the kind messages wishing Coconut a speedy recovery!
She’s a lucky pooch to be so loved by so many.

GLOSTA TRIP no#3 Gopro film around the hood by David “Doc” Vincent
Boom!

TOO FUNNY!
At about the 8:20 minute mark Gronk shows Conan How to celebrate a Touchdown.

This just in from our friend Aurelia Nelson, host of “Curtain Up” Sundays at 9am on North Shore 104.9.
“This Sunday’s guest is Chris Palermo of Mass Movie Mavens. We will be talking about upcoming film projects happening on the North Shore, including the latest on “Manchester by the Sea” being produced by Matt Damon and now starring Casey Affleck.”
Worth getting up for — even if you stayed up late with John Cafferty & the Beaver Brown Band at the Larcom tomorrow night. Don’t forget our local favorites, The Gary Backstrom Band is opening. What better way to support them than to bop down the road to Beverly and revel in their opportunity to open for a multi-platinum recording star!
Be sure to give yourselves a little extra travel time, and be safe! Join us for a fun, lightly snowy night of music w/ David Bromberg, David Hidalgo, & Larry Campbell
Don’t have tix? Check it out tomorrow up in Plymouth, NH at the Flying Monkey Movie House & Performance Center.
Still great tix:http://www.flyingmonkeynh.com/…/american-crossr…/2015-01-31/

I Love when I learn something new from viewers of GMG Sista’s Dish…
Today I received this message from friend and GMG viewer Joanne Frontiero Joanne Frontiero Writes ~ My Mother and I worked for your father many years ago pulling the heads of the shrimp. Then they went into the secret room to the machine that could remove the eggs. I was in high school at the time and worked during a school vacation with Mom and my friend Jacquie!
Sista Felicia~ Thanks Joanne for sharing that. I remember the shrimp on the conveyer belt and remember all the women removing the heads, but I never knew there was a special machine to remove the eggs!
