My View of Life on the Dock
Â
You thought popcorn kernels or red pepper flakes were a bitch? Â I’ve got a feeling turtle shell pieces are just gonna tear that butt to shreds.
Hope it was worth it.
Oh my goodness, I am in Good Morning Gloucester! Now everyone will get to know me better. My name is Pandora and I am a four-month-old Retriever and Great Dane.
My siblings and I are here at the Cape Ann Animal Aid, located at Christopher Cutler Rich Animal Shelter, Four Paws Lane in Gloucester. We will be medium to large when we are fully grown.  If you have the time for an active pup and want to put some excitement in your life, consider adopting me or one of my siblings, we are all sweet dogs and we love to snuggle!
Have you visited the shelter yet? If you haven’t you should come for a visit – it is incredible! Great outside trails, wonderful staff and volunteers and I love all the other animals here.  If you visit, we would love to have some gently used towels, and of course, it is ok to bring toys for shelter cats and dogs.   If you see you at the door, I will be sure to greet you!

Hi Joey,
The weather was perfect for a hike in the woods of Rockport Saturday. We paid a visit to Steel Derrick, one of the most peaceful places on the planet!
Enjoy!

Lil’ Sprouts of Essex Preschool, serving students 2-6 years of age, located at #1 Scott’s Way in Essex, MA will partner with the Manchester Athletic Club’s program “Gymazing” to create “MAC SPROUTS”.
Presently Lil’ Sprouts of Essex operates on the public school calendar and is in operation from 7:30 AM to 3:00 PM Monday through Friday. Jane Lindland, Director and owner of Lil’ Sprouts of Essex recognizes there is a piece of the community that she could better serve by filling the need for an extended day after school program (3:30 PM – 5:30 PM), as well as coverage during school vacation weeks and full time summer care.
Marcy Plante, Director of Gymazing and an alumni family of Lil’ Sprouts of Essex is working hand in hand with Ms. Lindland to develop “MAC SPROUTS” which will begin in September 2014. With this partnership Lil’ Sprouts of Essex will bring to their students and families a focus on physical education, health and nutrition. Additional offerings will include instruction in tennis, swim and yoga. Students will be transported from Lil’ Sprouts of Essex to the Manchester Athletic Club where families will pick up.
The program will begin with a limited enrollment of 20 students per day. To enroll contact Lil’ Sprouts of Essex @ 978-768-6287.

Hi Joey!
I designed some awesome Glosta t-shirts to raise money for my Relay For Life team! Would you mind sharing them with your readers?
Thanks so much!

Glostafarians for a Cure are a family team participating in the Relay For Life of Cape Ann in Gloucester, Massachusetts June 13-14, 2014.
There is something magical about Gloucester… a spirit that touches you when you spend time here. We think this tie-dyed Peace.Love.Glosta. t-shirt perfectly conveys the groovy feeling of Gloucester. Proceeds from the sale of this shirt go directly to the American Cancer Society to help create a world with less cancer.
Please support our fundraising efforts and help save lives by ordering a shirt today! Hurry… Ordering ends May 29, 2014!
Hi Joey,
Please post if appropriate…
The Rockport Elementary School EarlyAct Club (Rotary Club for elementary school students) vs Rockport Rotary Club Basketball Game is Thursday evening, May 22, 2014 in the Rockport Elementary School Gymnasium, starting at 6pm, with the game beginning by 6:30. Please come and support the kids, and bring family and friends! Only $5. per person, or $10. per family! Proceeds from this fundraiser will benefit community and world service projects. Many thanks and come cheer us on!
EarlyAct™ is a school-wide service club for elementary students from ages 5 to 13. It is sponsored by one of the local Rotary clubs in the township in which the school is located. The mission and operation of EarlyAct™ are closely linked to the ideals of Rotary and provide the foundation and natural succession into Interact.
EarlyAct™ provides young students the opportunity for gaining an increased awareness and knowledge of their community and the world. At a young age, all students can easily be encouraged to be caring and helpful. Their minds are open to recognize the dignity and worth of each individual which builds respect for others.
EarlyAct™ also engages students in character-building activities and prepares them for leadership roles to identify and carry out projects which benefit
their school, local and global communities.

The day we planted blueberry bushes is the very same day the catbirds began to call our garden home. We now see Gray Catbirds (Dumetella carolinensis) throughout the seasons, devouring the seeds and fruit of holly, crabapple, winterberry, magnolia, blueberry, and shad. Their cat-like cries, which lends the species their common name, are welcome and often heard. Gray Catbirds are in the Mimidae Family and, like their relatives the Mockingbirds, also mimic the songs of other birds.
Although I have read that catbirds are shy, they seem relatively sociable in our garden and aren’t threatened by the presence of people within close proximity. We keep the bird baths filled with fresh clean water and I especially love to watch the catbirds from our kitchen window as they are so exuberant in their bathing habits–diving and splashing and then drying their wings at the edge of the basin. Oh Joyous Spring!
So, you don’t think you benefit from tourists coming to Gloucester? Â Well …. do you like: having a choice of world-class restaurants you can walk to; our extraordinarily hot music music scene in all kinds of venues, including schooners; guaranteed parking at some of the most gorgeous beaches anywhere on Earth all summer long for only $20; living among award-winning museums, studios & galleries, Broadway-quality theatre; a thriving cultural economy … I could go on and on … OR perhaps your an artists, musician, photographer, writer, actor, chef, carpenter, plumber, contractor, fitness instructor, diver, ship’s captain, etc … OR Â you own or work in a hotel, restaurant, gallery, museum, boat, theatre, school or any retail store in Gloucester … or your business supports these people, like a lawyer, accountant, banker, realtor …Â Let’s face it, there’s really no business nor person in Gloucester who doesn’t benefit directly when tourists come here to share the City we all love. Â So come to Stage Fort Park on Thursday and see what the good people who work so hard to make tourism possible do every day to make your life better!
Good Morning Gloucester
