  • Reminder- Comcast Office

    Every Memorial Day weekend, seasonal owners and tenants waited in a long line to pick up their Comcast equipment.

    Last May, Comcast set up a temporary trailer by the Avalon Community Hall to accommodate local customers after relocating their store to Rio Grande (outside of Wildwood).

    For 2017, all business with Comcast must be arranged on line, by phone, or in the Rio Grande store:  1500 Route 47, Suite C12, Rio Grande, NJ 08242  (800) 266-2278.

     

     

     

  • Beach Wildlife

    Why, yes… that’s an eagle on the beach!

    While we stayed closer to the dunes so as not to startle the bird, a woman walked on to the beach and along side of the jetty with hardly a glance at this unique site.  Maybe she thought it was just a BIG seagull 😉

    General Tips:

    Service your HVAC systems, vacuum return registers, clean ceiling fans, rinse out trash cans, wash deck furniture, clean the outside shower, buy new clothes pins for the line, clean the grill, and wash windows/screens.

    The warm weather inspires us all to get moving on our “to do” list!

  • April Views

    Earlier sunrises…and summer preparations from beach to bay!

  • Contrasting Islands

    A quick over night in New York City this week to see a show (Kinky Boots- loved it!) and walk around the city.

    Just a bit different than my normal surroundings!

    Instead of laughing gulls…car horns and sirens.

    Instead of the solitude of my morning beach walk…the “look alert” pace of crossing streets to a specific destination.

    Fun to see the real world…and then return home 🙂
