Looking Forward…

By ann

This quote posted on Twitter from novelist Connie Schultz says it all:

“Today is Wednesday. We are living in a time of dreams deferred, but not extinguished. This is not our forevermore. Letâ€™s take care of ourselves and cheer for one another. And right now, letâ€™s breathe.”

Beach walk scheduled for May 8th!

By ann

That’s my plan if the rumors of a May 8th opening are true ðŸ˜Ž

Beach access will be limited to walking, running, and fishing.

It’s a start!

Seven Mile Miles

By ann

We have completely covered ALL of the Avalon and Stone Harbor quadrants during our daily “quarantine walks”.

So this morning, we ventured over to Sea Isle City.

Obviously we aren’t the only dedicated walkers looking for a change of scenery- we waived to a fellow Stone Harbor resident on Landis Avenue!

Fascinating to see the different neighborhoods up close, and of course, the awesome water views ðŸ˜Ž

Service With A Smile (behind a mask)

By ann

I wonder if some of the conveniences offered by local businesses can remain in place after the crisis?

For instance, I returned Comcast equipment the other day on behalf of a property owner- and wow, what an easy process (compared to past experiences).

And how about: take out food delivered to the back of your car, streamlined drop off for car service at the dealership, and CVS mailing prescriptions?

Social distancing guidelines will require changes to the way our office does business, too.Â And in the process, we hope to make the rental check in routine more efficient.

Change is hard.Â But change can also help us to improve.Â That’s the goal.
