I Commend the Gloucester Daily Times For Decision To Make Commentors Use Real Names
It was becoming a real cesspool over there. Glad the paper of record for GTown took steps to avoid the ugliness that came with anonymous online posting.

Enjoying vacation in New York State
I’m sorry to have missed the Gloucester Street Bazaar, but I’m off having a grand old time with family in New York State. This is part 1 of a 2-part vacation, so I won’t be back with new Gloucester photos for a few days. In the meantime, here is a taste of a Hutchings’ (my mother’s side of the family) get-together!
Beautiful landscapes:

Going over vintage family photos:
And of course I’m doing origami, but I already posted some of those photos… and more will be showing up soon!

Amistad From Mary Barker
Hi Joey
The Amistad’s captain, Greg Bailey, was gracious enough to allow me onboard to take some photos.
2 of his crew, Whitney and Scott, were kind to give me a tour and some education. The Amistad is such a
gorgeous historical boat, in such a wonderfully historic port. She is absolutely a must see while she is visiting.
The Amistad is docked on the Harbor Loop at the Maritime Center, near the Ardelle. Here are a few photos.

Poll- Do You Know What Froyo Means?
When speaking to my boy Craig Kimberley night before last I told him that I was on my way to Cafe Bishco with Beasley and Amandacakes for some Froyo.
His response?
“What are you speaking, Hobbit?”
Then again in the comment section someone asked what “Froyo” meant.
In this day and age are here people that still don’t know the meaning of Froyo?

Schooner Adventure
Katherine Richmond submits-
Hi Joey, Here’s a couple of picks of my little dog Greta ( long haired mini dachshund 8 lbs and 12 years old) I’m a local painting contractor who has decided to volunteer my painting skills to the Schooner Adventure. From time to time Greta comes with me to the Adventure. On this sunny hot day she sought out shelter from the sun in a space on the bow near to me while I painted. She enjoyed the view of the harbor out the hawser hole and fit in it standing up. I took these shots with my iPhone. I thought people would enjoy seeing the unique photos of Greta. In addition FYI the crew of the Amsted is helping the crew of the Adventure get her all rigged up. The sails will be up in a couple of days and will go for a Test sail this week possibly! The rigging is a big event. There is a guy named mike who has been volunteering for 14 years! He would be a good interview. Bill Holmes is in charge and a good contact for the goings on in the next few days of rare events of rigging a schooner.
Thanks best regards
Katherine Richmond

Origami Cats
A while ago I came up for a design for an origami cat:
Recently, a cat friend of mine named Neo (who lived with the family upstairs) died. I wanted to give the bereaved family a cat in memory of the deceased, so I made this one, changing the pose from standing to sitting and making a few other tweaks to the design:
Then another friend (Alexander Thompson of Ma’s Brand fame) offered a bigger challenge: to make a black and white “cow cat” in memory of one of his beloved felines who now rests in peace, in exchange for a a jar of his (delicious) pickles. This is what I have come up with so far, based on a photo of the cat in question:
It needs a little bit of work still, but it was a happy coincidence that my original design for the cat easily allowed me to add a color change to get the black and white (one side of the paper is black, the other white, and I folded it such that the colors come out where I want them). I also need to fold it with better paper. But it’s exciting to be dedicating time to this kind of origami creativity!

Dead–Tired Blogging from the Gloucester Sidewalk Bazaar
The Sidewalk Bazaar was swarmed on the last day, as expected. It’s fun, fairly profitable, and exhausting.
My potter Dave Matthews made a timely delivery of his mugs for the Bazaar. These are discounted at $10 each. Mohawk Trail mug anyone?
Laura Jardullo shows off her balloon dress, which she bought at the Dress Code. Laura was selling her headbands in front of the gallery. Photo taken with her iPhone.
Diana Long of Gloucester gets snaked at the Cape Ann Vernal Pond booth at Bazaar www.capeannvernalpond.org. Doing the snaking is Alice the boa constrictor. Alice the boa wanted to snake me too, but I demurred.
Great day at the Bazaar! City Councilor Melissa Cox asked if I’d collect donations for the Gloucester Fireworks Fund. Here, Phil Krone of Burlington, VT contributes. I now keep the container in the gallery for future donations. Come visit, say “hi,” and donate, even if it’s a dollar!
Good Morning Gloucester
