For those of you who enjoy my annual Christmas post “The Real Seashore Santa” – big news:  Santa received a make over!
Our niece is a talented artist (and pre-K teacher), and she offered to give Santa a well deserved face lift. Because Megan understands the sentimental history of Santa with our family, Â I knew she was the right person for the job.
Santa looks amazing…and is ready for another 50+ years at the beach  🙂
Before and during the procedure…
Next Friday, the Avalon Chamber of Commerce will host “Festive Friday” from 11am to 6pm.
Numerous family friends activities in the down town business district: Schedule of Events
As in past years, Tim Kerr Sotheby’s International Realty will give away Tim Kerr Charities race t-shirts. Â Always a big hit!
AND, so that I won’t be considered a hoarder, I will share some of my Avalon and Stone Harbor beach treasures 😎
Stop by our office at 2821 Dune Drive and say hello!
Monday morning blues…
Oh, and purple, pink, orange, yellow, and gray!
Beautiful morning at the beach 😎
Last week was Halloween, and Thanksgiving is just 2 weeks away.
In Avalon and Stone Harbor, we hurry through our Thursday dinner so that we can prepare for the next day: Â Christmas!
Starting Friday November 23rd and throughout the Thanksgiving weekend, our island celebrates the start of the holiday season with hospitality night, Christmas tree lighting, family festivals/ events, and a parade.
Hope to see you around town!
We typically walk along the beach, and then to the fire house to vote before our work day 😎🇺🇸
Saturday morning’s nor’easter caused more tidal flooding than we initially expected.
The ocean roared, but thankfully remained behind the well established dunes!
Bay water over flowed from several basins, causing street and yard flooding in the typical low sections of Avalon and Stone Harbor.
Businesses owners in downtown Avalon and Stone Harbor waited patiently for low tide and customer access!

Barbados was beautiful- and warm!
Yet, I was happy to bundle up and walk our beach again this morning before work.
When I mention my vacation plans to customers, they often question why  I’m “leaving the beach to go on vacation?”
Our fall trip is typically arranged by April. With our hectic summer schedules, it’s nice to look forward to an off season break.
We are privileged to live by the ocean year round, and I am grateful for the ever changing views. Â Yet as I know from coordinating summer vacations for our visitors, a week away is good for the soul!
In 2 weeks, my beach views will be a bit different.  I’ll post a few pictures on Twitter  😎
