Traction engine at the move from the Hammonton Christmas parade. Apologies for the odd video noise, the camera which took this will soon turn seven years old!
Traction engine! At the Hammonton Christmas parade this past weekend.
A neighbor a few houses down retired “reluctantly” at age 89, one of the last vestiges of fine glasswork that Hammonton was once known for. But this is South Jersey, so don’t call it art!
“Some people say glass cutting is about the art. I don’t. It was just a job for me. A way to make a living.”
I don’t know Calletta except as someone I wave to as he mows his lawn—something he does with more energy and frequency than I do, despite his extra half-century! Read full article in Press of A.C.
Christmas Trees! Julie took Theo and Francis out to tag Christmas trees today.
Preparing for the tractor ride at the Petrongolo Evergreen Plantation
A relatively new Christmas Tree farm: Julie reports back that this looks like a new farm, with smaller trees (perfect for us!). Julie took Theo and Francis out to tag Christmas trees today. Petrongolo Evergreen Plantation, 609-567-0336, 7541 Weymouth Rd., Hammonton NJ. Open 9-5 (Fri/Sat/Sun only), Nov 27-Dec 20.
“The Petrongolo’s wish you a very Merry Christmas”:

Given my monkey boys, I’m okay w/plans to replace E.R. 10 mins away w/one 2 mins away :) AtlantiCare unveils plans for facility in Hammonton
New MartinKelley.com designed site:
Michael Oliveras is a long-time union carpenter making the entrepreneurial jump and starting his own business: Mike’s Precision Carpentry. He came to me looking for a webpage to advertise his new enterprise.
It’s a simple design, a typical small-business site of half-a-dozen pages. The color scheme matches his business cards for a bit of branding. Oliveras faced a problem typical for new businesses: a lack of good photos. The work he’s done for many years is not technically his own (per the employment contracts) so for now the pictures are a mix of the few jobs he has done on his own and a few stock images. I’m sure he’ll have a well-rounded portfolio before long and we’ll be able to fill out the site with his own work. In the meantimes, he added a couple of great pictures of him and his family on the “About Us” page to give it that personal touch.
