Power Tools & Submarines

Josh has been hard at work on a mysterious wooden box. Not sure what he's going to do with it when he's finished, but it looks like it could hold a lot of Stella's toys..



Visits, visits everywhere... Kris Melanson was in the house, as was Bill Bresnahan, Jenna Johnson with campers Tori and Will Ullmann and Emily Walk's Mom popped by to collect her supervisor polo! The Skevmaster General said he would be here, but never showed up.

Stella is finally watching Yellow Submarine and I think she likes it! It's pretty weird, though. Psychedelic.

Instead of Crock Pot Friday, we're having Lunch Breakfast tomorrow. Gail is bringing in the skillet and we're making pancakes, bacon and Josh says he's going to attempt to cook home fries. I suspect a few eggs will be scrambled or fried, but you're going to have to wait until tomorrow to find out.

The last poll showed that most of you would like to see Bev Rec offer, "Shark Wrestling", "Hiking", "Parkour" and "Ballroom Dancing" as classes this fall. Innnnteresting... NEW poll to the right, bottom of the green box.

Oh, Geez…

THANK YOU to our 5 newest advocates! This blog is fun and a way to catch up on Beverly Recreation news for everyone, throughout the year. But mostly, it’s fun.

We hope all of our teacher friends are enjoying their February vacation! We certainly enjoyed our Monday off.

Evening enrichment begins next week, so sign up for classes NOW.

The Skev Report – Again this week Skevkin Donuts was in the office and I missed him. We DID get together last night to work on some math for my big test. Skev certainly does know his math, he had neatly solved every equation in preparation and was patient with me as I struggled through them! We’re meeting again this Saturday because we only got through problem #8. A word of advice, don’t waste $4 on the Chicken on Flatbread with Hummus Artisan Snack Plate at Starbucks…

I was at a meeting in Weymouth for most of the day yesterday, but I heard that Ivy and Hayley Mahan stopped by, as did Kris Melanson!

Jean is asking for suggestions for Crock Pot Friday. Good, healthy lunches that take 4 hours (or less) to cook. Bring it!

If YOU have Bev Rec related news to share, please send it to me for consideration to be added to the blog at jruelle@beverlyma.gov.

You Like Us! You REALLY Like Us!

What a difference a day makes... well, a day and an email from Josh Melanson! Overnight we gained three more Rec Rag enthusiasts (for a current total of 19) and we are SO thankful. You rule.

In other news, the sun is shining and the snow is melting. If you were planning to go sledding or snow mountain climbing at Lynch, you should do it this weekend and take pictures to be included in the blog. YES, we'll consider your pics and innocent, non-damaging gossip for submission. Send your tidbits to jruelle@beverlyma.gov.

Wasn't last night's episode of Jersey Shore lame?

We've seen Tim McAuliffe twice this week and it's pretty clear that Stella has a crush on him. Watch out Sam!

Molly Forman was also in the office today, hanging out and lending moral support to Joshie before his big interview at Osram/Sylvania. Best of luck, although he's doing such a great job, we never want Josh to leave.

Hey, Emily Walk! We still have your Director polo shirt here at the office! Has your name on it and everything...

Not too much to report, as far as Bev Rec business goes. I'm working fastidiously on contracts and you will have them soon. Before the end of February. So sorry for the delay, it's taken much of my time and energy and I've been giving it all very careful thought.

Confucius Says

Bruce, Josh and Gail ordered Chinese food today from China River. Their fortune cookie fortunes were as follows...

Bruce: "Compassion is a way of being."
Josh: "Leaders are like eagles, they don't flock...you find them one at a time."

The Skev Report - We heard that Skevman would be in the park today, and apparantly he was, but didn't leave the Skevmobile. He saw that the only car in the lot was Bruce's and figuring no one was here, he turned around and left! Oh well, if he came in, we would have shared our fried rice.

We have a new goal... reach 10,000 blog views and get 14 more followers by the end of the summer! Tell your friends, family, current and old Recs and help us spread the word!
