Beautiful views last night of the full moon rising over the ocean.
Minimal clouds on the horizon- so we were able to see it soon after the official moon rise.
A huge, pink ball glowing over the water…

FEMA Housing Request
We received this e-mail today from the director of the Cape May County Board of Realtors:
FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) is coordinating displaced hurricane survivors with temporary housing. Most survivors who may be able to temporarily relocate to Cape May County are single persons or couples, since families with kids choose to remain in their school districts.
Please contact     gladys.kastrup@FEMA.dhs.gov   for information if you are able to help.

That’s Better!
Much better start of my work day- colorful sky over a calm ocean…and no wind!

Winter Wind :(
This is the time of year when air temperature doesn’t totally determine proper dress for a beach walk.
That wonderful sea breeze in the summer months literally turns on us in the winter…and becomes WIND!
Yet still worthwhile to bundle up, turn your face to the warm sun, and breathe in the fresh salt air.
See you on the beach 🙂

Thanksgiving
This year, a day of thanks with even more meaning.
Our shore neighbors continue the clean up and restoration of their homes and businesses.  It will be an especially difficult holiday season for many.
Residents in towns farther north face the overwhelming task of rebuilding structures, as well as communities.
In the wake of incredible devastation; compassion, generosity, commitment, and hope remain strong.

Bridge to Sea Isle City
I was able to get a first hand view of the damaged roadway connecting Avalon to the Townsends Inlet Bridge. Â Even today, the waves were breaking over the rock wall. Â This has been an on going issue- well before the storm. Â It was not that unusual to be splashed on your way to the bridge!
According to an article in today’s Atlantic City Press, the road will likely be closed until spring.

Beach Walking
The view is always changing…and I often see something especially unique.
Yesterday on a beach path, I saw a pine tree decorated with a few Christmas balls, as well as orphaned beach items- flip flops and shovels.  Last week, I walked by a fort built from “Sandy” debris- very creative!  And of course, there is the bonus of finding beautiful sea glass 🙂
