Great weather so far this summer. Â A few wild rain storms to keep us out of a drought…and then back to hot, sunny beach days.
There are vacation rentals still available for the upcoming weeks: Â Power Play Realty Rental Search

Oversized flags on the bay (out in the marsh around 102nd Street) and near the beach (Villa Maria by the Sea, 111th Street), Stone Harbor.
I love that Amish families vacation on the island….
Stone Harbor sights.
Sunrise over the bay and the Bird Sanctuary this morning, and the keeping cool at the ocean’s edge yesterday.
Huge rainbow last evening. I hurried down to the beach in time to catch the the fading colors…
Inspired by a conversation with my neighbors yesterday about life on the island:
The distinct roar of a Ferrari…the sight of an Amish family riding bikes through town.
A classic Bentley…a vintage dune buggy with surf boards on top.
Smartly dressed patrons waiting for dinner reservations…the nuns waiting in line at Springers.
Incredible custom homes…original cedar shake cottages.
All of us drawn to salt water and sand…
A seven mile long barrier island with seven bridges…

Repairs to Gas Meter
If you receive this letter from South Jersey Gas or Precision Pipeline Solutions, it’s a legitimate request to update the gas meter.
Based on the “second notice” language on our letter, I obviously dismissed it as well.
The techs need to turn off the gas while they elevate the meter and add new pipes. Â Then the pilots inside are re-lit and checked (so access inside the house is necessary).
For many homes, this includes checking the gas stove, heater, dryer, hot water heater, and fireplace.
According to the tech who worked at our home, if owners don’t respond and make appointments, Pipeline Solutions was just granted approval to turn off the gas to complete the work, and then lock the meter until interior access is provided.
This will off course be a huge inconvenience for the next occupant (owner or tenant) because major appliances won’t function until the gas company returns!
If you have gas service at your Avalon or Stone Harbor property , it’s worthwhile to call the gas company to confirm this update.
