  • Brendan Borek High Tides Memorial Fund

    I am proud to support the Brendan Borek Endowment Fund at Children’s Hospital.

    The fund was specifically established to help pediatric cancer patients and their families in Cape May and Atlantic Counties.

    On May 4th, their 13th Annual Golf Tournament will be held at Stone Harbor Golf Club.

  • Multi-tasking

    The Delaney’s welcomed yet another baby boy to our family over the weekend.

    Nan and Pop are caring for the 18 month old BIG brother until the new parents and baby are discharged.

    I appreciate the patience of my customers until I return to my regular work (and sleep!) schedule  😊

  • Spring Wardrobe

    Out of the wind…facing the sun…not too bad!

    When I leave my house (or office) for a walk along the beach, I often think I’m over dressed.

    Yet once the brisk spring “breeze” greets me at the path…I’m grateful for my winter coat, hat, and gloves!

  • 29th Street Recreation Area

    In case you missed it:

    The Borough of Avalon will create a new entertainment and recreation park at 29th Street and the beach.

    The old skate board park is being dismantled today in advance of the construction.

    Completion of Surfside Park is expected by May 2019.

  • Monday Views

    Extra daylight, warming temperatures, and chirping birds as I set off on my early morning walk. Spring is almost here!

  • Wild Wildlife

    As I described my fox encounter with co-workers, they joked that I’m the “Jane Goodall” of the island!

    An ordinary beach walk in the off season can turn extraordinary with a sighting of a snowy owl, a seal sunning by the jetty rocks, an eagle, or even a spout from a whale viewed on the horizon.

    Two weeks ago, I spotted a fox crossing the street while I was waiting for buyers to arrive at a sale property. It was the middle of the day, and the fox looked at me for a few minutes before moving on.

    Because I’m now aware of its existence, I didn’t question what I was seeing on Wednesday evening. We were walking in the bike path (ironically to avoid skunks!) and the “Stone Harbor fox” was sitting on the curb.

    The fox slowly approached us, even as we backed away.  Yikes!  I guess he thought we had food?

    Of course I wanted to take a picture- it’s not true unless you post it on Twitter 😉

    So, stay alert on your beach and street walks!

  • Snowy Memories

    As I walked through the 50th Street dune path today on my lunch break, I had a flash back to childhood snow days.

    Although substantial snow fall was rare, we made the best of it with sandy dune sledding!

    Some local families would go sledding along the side of the Parkway ramps, but our little neighborhood gang would bring makeshift plastic sleds to the “hills” of the high dunes.

    Realistically, only the first 2 or 3 runs were worthwhile.  After that, it was sand sledding!
