My View of Life on the Dock
If you haven’t taken the kids down to see the Lobster Trap Tree you might want to before the season passes by. Feel free to use this image to make Christmas Cards if you would like.

This industrial elevator is capable of lifting palletloads of ice up and down. That saves a whole lot of manual labor.

David Brooks from Art Haven tells me that over 150 kids got to paint a buoy for the tree. How’s that for community spirit? Click this text to see the scene Lia captured when Santa showed up aboard a fire truck to light the tree.

If you haven’t got down to see it yet you really ought to. Its right next to the police station. (If you have any outstanding warrants for arrest you might want to wear a disguise) I can’t believe how tall it is, and it is covered with buoys hand painted by the kids at Art Haven. The whole thing is just beautiful. Art Haven Video Part II at 9:00AM

What a fantastic job Jeff Worthley, David Brooks and the kids from Art Haven and anyone else that I don’t know that should get recognition did on the tree. It is the absolute most beautiful one yet! Gorgeous!
Ya think they have anything this cool in Anytown, or Plainsville USA? No freakin way! This is another reason Gloucester Rocks!

This Martini Funnel breaks down to three pieces the top, bowl, the stem, and the base. The Vodka or Gin gets poured in the top of the bowl and whooshes down through the ice into your glass (in the beginning of the night when everyone is behaved) or mouth(at the end of the night when everyone is hammered).
