My morning view of the south bound air traffic…plus a few birds. Â Perfect fall day!
Happy Halloween
A “famous” scarecrow on duty at Seashore Ace yesterday 😉
He was greeting (and startling) shoppers during the Harvest Festival on 96th Street, Stone Harbor.
Next weekend, the rescheduled Seafood Festival will take place at 30th and Avalon Avenue, Avalon.
Another Little Island
Low key…small…friendly…beautiful…and surrounded by water. Â Of course, we would want to vacation there!
Just returned from an amazing vacation on Nevis, West Indies. Â We were pampered at the Four Seasons, and challenged by adventures around the island. My beach walks will seem especially calm after hiking in the rain forest!
Added bonus every time we travel: experiencing the value of service and hospitality as a tourist. Always helpful to be “on the other side” – a wonderful opportunity to learn and grow.
Back to Work
Will write a more detailed post after I catch up at work.
In the meantime…
I wonder if the laundry will go away if I hang this on the front door??

Hello Sun
Mild temperatures, less wind, and SUNSHINE.
The weekend storm caused some beach erosion. Â But, thanks to recent beach fill projects, the damage was not devastating. Â The extra sand created a solid buffer for our beaches and dunes.
Shifting Sand
Okay, it’s official…I miss the sun!  This Nor’easter is not only inconvenient (canceling Columbus Day weekend events) , it’s also causing sand shifting along our beach front.  I posted pictures yesterday, and again this morning on Twitter (see link on right hand side of the page).
I was up early, and able to walk before the rain.  The wind was blowing me, and the sand down the beach.  Stone Harbor Point will likely extend a few more feet into the inlet  after the weekend!










A Better 10/29
The photos and news reports from last year make me emotional. Â It’s hard to re-read my blog posts, too:
Sunday Before Evacuation
Monday (Sandy)
Monday Night
Tuesday Morning
Tuesday Night (home)
Wednesday Island Tour
An article in today’s Press of Atlantic City is also very moving- an Ocean City resident apologizing for not evacuating : LINK to article  An important message for all shore residents.
Grateful to enjoy an ordinary and beautiful fall day 1 year later!
