We decided to return to Vita Bella on Eastern Ave in Essex (formerly Windward Grille) for dinner recently and it was a very good decision. We have had very good meals and service there and this time was no exception. We like the variety on the menu and the specials are always worth a look. I got the chicken saltimbocca and it was terrific. Jim got chicken parm which was a hearty portion and delicious. I had the cannoli martini for my decadent dessert. The bar area was hopping but still a pleasant atmosphere. Vita Bella is turning into one of our “out of town” favorites.

There is a group of deer on the golf course that I see just about every morning at 4:30AM on one side of Moorland Rd near the Golf Course maintenance building. I know they are likely to be there so I drive slowly.

I see them.

They see me.

Inevitably they leap out in front of my truck seconds before I’m about to pass them.

I can’t quite understand what is going through their brains that they put themselves in harms way instead of just staying there. Same with rabbits and squirrels but I just figure the rabbit and squirrel brains are tiny so they don’t have the processing power. Surely deer have to be smarter but seemingly without fail they leap out in front of oncoming traffic consistently.

It doesn’t really bother me that much but I’ve heard from more than one person that say it bothers them.

How bout you? I never really even thought about it. Has it been something you’ve thought about?

Welcome to our Pet Meet and Greet Adoption Day! Join us for a heartwarming experience where adorable pets are looking for loving companions to bring joy and companionship into their lives. Cape Ann Animal Aid offers a life-changing adoption of new fur baby companions that have the power to transform not only the life of a pet but also the lives of their new families. This event is a wonderful opportunity to meet your future furry friend, meet the volunteers of a wonderful local animal shelter, learn about the process of adoption and make a difference by providing a forever home. We invite you to be part of this special day and witness the magic of pet adoption. Don’t miss out on the chance to create a lasting bond with a loyal companion. Come and be a part of something truly meaningful!

Apothecary Suil Crow will be accepting donations until the day of this event that will take place outside their shop location at 9 Whistlestop Mall under grand tents. During this day Suil Crows gifted psychics will be offering readings where half of the money raised will be going to Cape Ann Animal Aid! 

“We are animal lovers and advocates and consider it a great honor to be able to host an event with this beautiful non profit organization”, says Rebeccah owner of Suil Crow. “Animals are an important and cherished gift to families and deserve a home where they get lots of love and can give their love in return.” 

“We are so excited to partner with Apothecary Suil Crow for a fun and rewarding afternoon to benefit homeless animals! Having the support of our local community is a huge benefit to the animals, and the animals always enjoy any opportunity to get out and meet new people – and potentially their new families!”
