Sunrise Service

By ann

sunrise.jpg When I look at the sun breaking through the clouds over the ocean on a beautiful morning, I can’t help associating nature with religion.  It reminds me to be thankful for the gifts in my life and think about family and friends no longer here.  It’s my version of a sunrise service- very appropriate for Easter.  Enjoy the weekend!

Early Easter = Early Season

By ann

The bulb flowers in our little yard are doing their best to be out for Easter.  The local shops and restaurants have the same plan.

There will be OPEN signs at the Windrift Restaurant, Claude’s in North Wildwood (originally Stone Harbor based- and locals are happy to travel across the bridge for a wonderful meal), Via Mare, and many of 96th Street retail shops.

Enjoy an early spring visit to the shore!

Air Show

By ann

Did anyone else see the Red Baron style bi-plane practicing stunts over the ocean this weekend? We watched the spins, flips, and free falls as the sun set- a free air show in Stone Harbor!

The Lights are On…

By ann

You know you are ready for spring when it’s exciting to see lights on in houses as you drive through town!

Tortilla Flats and Avalon Coffee are now open on weekends.  The Concord Cafe will open next week (we live for the restaurants to return).

Washed off my deck furniture yesterday and actually sat in the sun for a bit (out of the wind of course).

Just Another Day at the Beach

By ann

beachmarch3.jpg Nothing profound…just another beautiful view as I begin my morning walk.  Still wearing a hat and gloves, but the sun was trying to break through.  I’m anxious for warmer temperatures…a few more weeks to go!

Plans for Summer?

By ann

Although we are experiencing a strong rental season, there are plenty of homes/condos still available for rent this summer.  I am happy to e-mail you (or a friend) a detailed list of suitable properties: ann@anndelaney.com   

Thanks for the opportunity to help!

The Positive Spin

By ann

Random thoughts from my morning walk:

Angry ocean…..Mother Nature speaking her mind (the roar heard from blocks away!)

High tide…..walking in soft sand is great exercise.

Heavy Fog…..quality moisture for dry winter skin.

I am grateful to live in such a unique environment 🙂

Stone Harbor- Public Library

By ann

Cape May County will be building a new public library on the north side of the 95th Street parking area along the beach (the library currently uses space in the municipal building on Second Avenue). 

Not certain of a start/completion date.  

     parkinglot95th.jpg   Structure will be built adjacent to the beach between 94th and 95th Streets (over a portion of the existing parking lot).  The beach patrol building and Woman’s Civic Club buildings are located beach side between 95th and 96th Streets.
