Cooler by a Mile…
Avalon’s slogan is true today. Â Air conditioning is off!

Saturday Sights
I started my Saturday on the bay…and finished it on the beach.  With a crazy, busy work day in between!

Peaceful Views
A true summer “retreat”.
Villa Maria by the Sea: Â the vacation/retreat house for the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary at 111th Street and the beach. Â A beautiful Stone Harbor landmark, and exclusive location to purchase all of your Nuns’ Beach wear 🙂

Once in a Blue Moon
Friday, at 8:14pm, watch the full moon rise over the ocean (sunset is at 8:12pm, so beautiful views both east and west!).

Previewing Bay Houses
Early morning kayaking before work: a completely different perspective of bay properties from this angle!

Saying hello!
Yes, that was me carrying a bottle of wine (unopened) on my morning beach walk.
One of my faithful blog readers is here on vacation. Â In previous years, she dropped off thoughtful gifts from her home state.
This year, she suggested saying hello at the beach. Â Her rental street is convenient to my walking turn around point, so it worked well for a brief hello (and she gave me a bottle from one of their local wineries).
Such a nice start to the day 🙂

Mid-day Storm
A wild storm rolled through Avalon and Stone Harbor this afternoon. Â High winds toppled deck furniture and trash cans, and heavy rain caused street flooding.
There were reports of a few lightning strikes – including an Avalon Beach Patrol boat!
Temperatures dropped (thankfully!), the rain water drained quickly, and the sun has returned.  Should be a nice evening…

Family Reunion
Their 6 children pictured (1 died as an infant) expanded the family even more with 21 grandchildren.
The 2 surviving daughters (on either end of the picture) attended the reunion, as well as 2 wives of sons who passed, almost all of the grandchildren and their spouses, and many great grandchildren.
The family ties to Avalon, Stone Harbor, and Ocean City go way back, and continue today with the younger generation.
Fun to laugh about childhood memories, and confirm that  “Yes, I was Grandmom’s favorite” 😉
