If you happen to be traveling on Kings Highway, whether you were arriving in Lewes on the Cape May -Lewes Ferry or just driving into Lewes as a destination, you probably saw the flags from the highway, on the grounds of Cape Henlopen High School. These are the Flags for Heroes, sponsored by the Lewes-Rehoboth Rotary Club to honor the heroes of the past, the present and future. Proceeds from each flag will be used to support local youth programs through scholarships and first responders.
The Lewes-Rehoboth Rotary Club was chartered in 1929.
Originalloy, Memorial Day was called Decoration Day. Memorial Day was officially proclaimed on May 5, 1868; first observed on May 30, 1868. The first state to officially recognize the holiday was New York in 1873.

I think between the barbecues, the shopping sales, and the official opening of many summer resorts, we have forgotten the true meaning of Memorial Day. I don’t remember seeing a Memorial Day Parade in a long time, if ever. The National Moment of Remembrance resolution was passed on December of 2000 asking that at 3 p.m. local time, all Americans “To voluntarily and informally observe in their own way a Moment of remembrance and respect, pausing from whatever they are doing for a moment of silence or listening to Taps”.

When you arrive in Rehoboth Beach, you will find the Roundabout on Rehoboth Avenue. This is the gateway to the city. Looking east towards the ocean is a replica of the Cape Henlopen Lighthouse.
Continue east towards the end of Rehoboth Avenue and right by the Bandstand you will find the Veteran’s Memorial Wall & Garden. The flowers planted change with the season.
And, on Memorial Day those flags will be at half mast, honoring and paying respect to those who have given so much for this country. If you are in Rehoboth Beach, just stop by and have a moment of reflection.
Have a nice day!

It has been about a year and a half since I discovered Rustic Acres Farm, which is the home of Rehoboth Dairy. Just like everyone else that has tasted their milk, we are all totally hooked on it. Bottled in traditional glass bottles, the milk, from their cows, is produced, and pasteurized right on the farm. Rehoboth Dairy, LLC is the only licensed on Farm Milk Processor in Delaware.
Owners are Earl and Mary Ann Warren. As you know, working a dairy farm is a 24/7 job…so they are there all the time.
Their market is open year-round and they are right here in Rehoboth Beach on 37217 Rustic Acres Lane. Tels. 302-245-8308 or 302-245-8309. It opens at 11 a.m.
If you are leaving Rehoboth Beach, going north, take the very next right after Tomato Sunshine. That’s Hollands Glade Rd. The farm and the farm market will be on your left about 8/10 of a mile.
If you are traveling south on Rt. 1, you will need to make a U-turn at the intersection of Shuttle Rd. and Rt. 1 (Exxon Station on the right and CVS on the left). Then, follow the directions above.
Besides the milk you will find butter, produce, fresh Amish baked goods, beef, pork, sausage, scrapple, bacon…all from live stock raised on their farm.
The produce is seasonal and soon Earl’s bins will be fully stocked.
They will be having local strawberries soon…it has been a hard year for local strawberries, due to the weather.
So, when Earl told me that he has been barbecuing, I said to him; “I can make a mean barbecue, Earl”, he quickly answered; “I am sure you do, but I am saving you that step.”
Spareribs!
If you have guests, or do not feel like cooking…Earl’s barbecue will be ready by noon. You can sit down and eat it there or take it home. He has a few picnic tables and it is such a gorgeous day.
Baby Backs!
Then, if you feel like having ice cream, they do have it available, as well. The ice cream comes from Chesapeake Bay Farms. This is the last remaining dairy farm in Worcester County on Maryland’s Eastern Shore.
The ice cream is void of growth hormones, antibiotics, and chemical compounds.
Have a great day!!
