Five years ago I was sitting at Hobos located at Baltimore Avenue in Downtown Rehoboth Beach, when my husband suggested I started a website. To tell you the truth I think he was tired of me calling him to the office to tell him I had found a better place to get corn, or that the crabs were bigger at such and such place…..and can you believe they are putting another bla bla bla store here?
I fell right into it. But from a website it went to a website written in a blog style. Living at the beach is great. I never take it for granted. And, for so many years John and I lived here at the Delaware Beaches. He could have written the blog himself also. I guess being residents of the “Beaches” gave us the ability to pass on the information….at times maybe too much information.
For the ones that follow my blog, there are over 43,000 photos. 5 years worth of photos. My family is still not at ease by my taking photos of the food at restaurants. They say that is so embarrassing. My friends? They are more forgiving. They humor me and don’t dare to start eating until the photo or photos are taken.
John was my best PR person. He always carried AboutMyBeaches cards in his wallet. But, John passed away last August. Yes, that’s the way life goes; not fair. He had a very dry sense of humor and I am sure he is watching what I am writing and what I am eating. He was the first foodie I knew. We miss him so much.
