  • Before the rain…

    The view from my Saturday morning beach walk.  A drastically different view from my office window this afternoon!

    Soggy Saturday!

  • Sea Breeze

  • Cooler by a Mile

    Watching the flags over Hoy’s 5 & 10 from my office- a definite south breeze!  Avalon and Stone Harbor offer the best seats in the house during a heatwave 😎

    Volunteers will receive a logo shirt, plus witness a fun event!

  • Friendly Birds

    We all know the seagulls have no fear of humans.  In fact, they will boldly steal your sandwich at the beach if you are not hiding under an umbrella or towel!

    Recently I noticed that a few of the resident oyster catchers are no longer skittish as I walk by.  They have acclimated to sharing the water’s edge 😎

  • Father’s Day

    popThis day is bittersweet for many of us.

    My father was just a few years older than I am now when he passed away.

    And even after 25 years, the sorrow can quickly rise to the surface.

    Yet, I’m so grateful for the gift of watching our 2 sons raise their boys…and my husband  as their “Pop”.

     

     

     

  • Beach Walkers

    It’s so nice to see the “regulars” back on the beach for my early morning walks.  Although I casually know a few, for the others I have to make up my own back story.

    Recently, I was able to complete the story of a sweet older gentleman because of a random Twitter post.

    His grandson wrote a tribute in May- and I recognized the fellow walker from the attached family picture.

    Read the Twitter thread here:  Stone Harbor Tweet

    In the summer months, we would pass each other on the sand, and smile or wave hello.  In more recent years, I only saw him when my walks detoured to the street, and I guessed that the sand had become too challenging .

    The small world connections are the best part of Twitter and my blog!

  • Need a Beach Week?

    Yes, there is still time to find a vacation rental for a week (or more!) this summer.

    Search availability on our web site:  Tim Kerr Sotheby’s International Realty   and then contact me to discuss.

    I am familiar with the inventory and locations, and happy to help select the best home for your needs.
