Trying to look on the bright side of the doom and gloom news reports.
High gas prices forced us to re-think our driving habits- saving the environment along with our money. Eating out less is good for our diets (although “walking” to Springer’s is still okay in my book ). Do I really need it?- [...]
The majority of our summer tenants (and property owners for that matter) live within a 2 to 3 hour driving radius. We are all experiencing similar cold weather conditions, so thinking about the beach helps us to cope!
Prospective tenants are actively searching on line (and sometimes in person) for their ideal summer vacation house. After a [...]
For those of you who live near regular public transportation, this may not be a big deal. But, we are excited about the new direct train service between Atlantic City and New York City.
From the atlanticcitynj.com web site:
ACES, the Direct Express Train service between New York City and Atlantic City is scheduled to start on [...]
It doesn’t last (that’s what we like best)- but it’s pretty for a few hours.
The beach side promenade between 80th and 83rd Streets (major renovations underway at the Windrift, by the way- the 2 inside bar areas from what I could see).

I am a big fan of Girl Scout Cookies- the peanut butter sandwiches are my favorite. But wait…peanut butter is now a risky food product.

Yesterday’s bright sun created a line through my picture- but it was such a nice view that I wanted to post it anyway. A spring like day…replaced with more normal winter weather today. Oh well- we [...]
Sure, the sun is out…but with typical January temperatures and wind chills. Brrrr! The surfers don’t seem to mind the cold!
Winter at the beach- worthwhile to bundle up to enjoy the views.
January 20, 1961- the Inauguration of John F. Kennedy. My mother watched this historic event with me - in the maternity ward of the hospital. I was 2 days old. Our 44th president would be born later that same year.
January 20, 2009- the Inauguration of Barack Obama- another historic event. This time, one that I will [...]
No need to talk about the disappointment of last night’s game
Waking up to a coating of snow was a nice distraction.
Interesting to see the various footprints in the snow and try to guess the critter.
The most unusual? Human footprints. There were a few more than expected this morning, but it is [...]
