Snow Day

Had to hurry with the pictures…melting fast!  Made for a pretty morning walk.

Shore House Odors

Yesterday, I previewed a totally renovated townhouse on the bay.  Custom kitchen and baths, beautiful wood floors, attractive furnishings…AND a plug in air freshener that took my breath away!

The owner may believe the scent adds to the appeal, but I assume it’s covering up a problem.   And potential buyers could have the same reaction.

dampridShore properties are closed up for long periods of time.  Plug in air fresheners (even the scented oil diffusers) are just too strong for the space.

If you want to eliminate a damp smell (after confirming it’s not caused by water issues in the crawl space or a leak), I suggest Damp Rid.

The crystals absorb moisture and remove musty smells without adding a fake, perfume odor.

Potential tenants, buyers…and their real estate agents…will appreciate the difference!

Open or Closed?

PathThis is a tough time of year.  Many island business owners take a well deserved break, and others keep the lights on for the loyal year round patrons.

There are breakfast, lunch, and dinner options (not just Wawa!)

You can still buy a bottle of wine from Fred’s, or a trash can from Seashore Ace.

And, several gift/clothing shops offer weekend hours.

See?  It’s not THAT quiet!

Back to the COLD!

Returned last night from a fun week in Naples, Florida with my sisters.  As each of us approached the half century mark (gulp!) we talked about a girls’ getaway to celebrate (wait…is celebrate the right word?).  We finally got our act together in time for the “baby’s” birthday 😉

We managed to share a house (and 2 of us shared a room) without reenacting the fights from our teen years when we last lived under one roof!

And, we continued the tradition of crashing the pool at the Ritz.  As kids, the Concord was our pool of choice (too difficult to get in to the Golden Inn or Windrift).  Now, we at least buy lunch/drinks (spending a fair amount of money) , and THEN enjoy the afternoon on their comfortable lounge chairs.

Good Morning Winter

From inside my house, I watch the vibrant colors light up the sky just before sunrise.  It’s the best motivation to bundle up and head down to the beach for a morning walk.
