on July 23rd, 2023, for a fun evening cruise and whale watch excursion. A DJ will be playing so you can enjoy some music and dancing, conversation, food (which you provide), and cocktails and beverages from the galley.
Food will not be provided this year, but you can bring your own or make arrangements with Debbie (debfrontierro@gmail.com) to purchase something through a local vendor. All liquor must be purchased on the boat and cannot be brought on board. The cruise will leave the dock at 6:30 pm and r.eturn at 9:30 pm

Dear Everyone
Not going to lie, we are devastated in any and every way parents can be. It has been since March 7 th since Greer has been on dialysis now for 11 hours every night. We continue to HOPE for a living kidney donor to come forward.If anyone has any further connections to do a follow up story, a new story, interview, podcast, newsletters, anything to spread the word not only to help Greer but create awareness. This is my latest Facebook post regarding our son Greer Viau. Thanks, Donna J Viau
Maybe you don’t know him, never met him….he is so good, so kind, so persnickety, so smart, quirky and fascinating, so inquisitive, so fun, thoughtful and thought provoking. When I hang with my son’s I am in continual awe we were so blessed with two incredible young men, these sons of ours. Bob is beyond devoted. People think about a legacy…what did they do in life or with their life…we got this family of four and the gift of parenting these 2 men Greer & Dylan.
Now one of our gifts, Greer is sick. The kind of sick that an aspirin, a mother’s doting attention, warm ginger ale, cool clothe on the forehead won’t help.
Life threatening illnesses are any parents nightmare….waiting, hoping, the right doctor, the right hospital, the right treatment, the living donor coming, the pain, the hours connected to machines to keep him alive, the WAIT, the HOPE for a LIVING KIDNEY DONOR to Save his Life so he can HAVE A LIFE. It is all totally surreal….agonizing and consuming….each day we go on with NOTHING BUT THAT HOPE to hold on to. We are past the Why of it all and cling to the Hope. Could you Be the HOPE.
Potential Donors can learn so much from Rock 1 Kidney

We decided to celebrate Margarita Monday by stopping at The Farm Bar and Grill on Western Ave in Essex. They offered the perfect choice: Farmarita! Many establishments are closed on Mondays so it can get tricky to find a new place for our Margarita Mondays, but this was an excellent decision. I had a burger and Jim ordered the steak and cheese egg rolls. It was a relaxing respite with friendly staff and customers. We’ll be back sooner than later!

From 1994 to 2006, William F. Schulz headed Amnesty International USA, during which he and the organization confronted some of the greatest challenges to human rights. Dr. Schulz led missions to Liberia, Tunisia, Northern Ireland, and Sudan. He also traveled tens of thousands of miles in the United States promoting human rights causes and was frequently quoted in the media.
His latest book,Reversing the Rivers: A Memoir of History, Hope and Human Rights,from Penn Press, recounts his years as head of Amnesty International through poignant stories combined…

Also before anyone chimes in, I know it’s great to store it to use for later cooking. Problem is I rarely cook at home this time of year and sometimes you just want to get rid of it.
How do you deal with bacon grease?
