I know that it is December, that it is winter…..that Bethany Beach, Delaware, is the Quiet Resort and the sidewalks should be rolled up until next summer….But, guess what? A gorgeous day at the Delaware Beaches brought us 58 degrees! Bethany Beach was crowded with visitors playing in the sand and enjoying one beautiful day in Delmarva.
The Boardwalk is the life of this coastal town and a run to benefit First Responders was taking place. And, today the crowds gathered to see who the winners were.
It was for a good cause…First Responders!!

A gorgeous day in the Delmarva Peninsula. And a surprise for me when I stopped to get some info. at the Indian River Life Saving Station, which is located south of Rehoboth and Dewey Beach and just north of the Indian River Inlet.
They told me that the snowy owl was over by the dunes. I did not have to look far….professional photographers were already there.
Me? I just took my camera out of my pocket.
From the Artic tundra the Snowy Owl has had a long journey. It is the official bird of Quebec.
They are attracted to large open spaces. They love coastal dunes.
This particular one looks like it is a female. Just sitting on the dune looking probably for food to refuel. If you spot a Snowy Owl, please be respectful and keep your distance…this is a rare raptor.
Have a good one!!

Visions of Sugar Plums dancing in…..what? Say that again? My visions were a little different. That’s why on Christmas Day, my sister in law, Susie, and I took off for Downtown Rehoboth Beach to walk it all off….The Holidays!!
They say that the average American gains about 8 pounds from Thanksgiving to New Year’s. We were on our way…reaching that goal…yikes!
Walking around Rehoboth Beach is easy, especially on Christmas Day!! You have the town to yourselves. So, off we went to walk off the following:
Christmas Eve dinner consisted of my stuffed pork loin, among other dishes. My last figs were used in the stuffing. Truly delicious and nobody was counting calories.
Christmas morning is always soooo good. You wake up to the aroma of sausage cooking on the stove. This year we even added some of the leftover sweet potatoes.
A new addition was the Turkey Scrapple by Rapa. This scrapple has half the fat of the regular scrapple. Cooked well done…thin and crispy is the best.
The plate was full…a little fruit to make you feel healthier….but please don’t forget the molasses. A must drizzled over the buckwheat cakes!!
Cookies…a present from my neighbor….well, they never hit the gorgeous platter that accompanied them.
Which brings me to the subject of walking around Rehoboth Beach. It was cool but much welcomed weather!! It is that time of the year. Taking a walk on this beautiful coastal town is always invigorating.
The scenic Silver Lake…This lake is one of the 3 crown jewels of Rehoboth Beach. Along with Lake Gerar and Lake Comegys, Silver Lake is one of the fresh water lakes closest to the ocean anywhere in the country.
Going out and About in Downtown Rehoboth Beach, Delaware….have a good one!!

Taking a drive through Rehoboth Avenue in Downtown Rehoboth Beach, Delaware…it was quiet and peaceful…I like it that way. 36 degrees on Christmas Eve. Love the Christmas Tree, right by the Bandstand with the award winning Boardwalk and the Atlantic Ocean as a backdrop. Priceless!!
A Christmas Poem written by Harvey Ehrlich in 1992. Some years I have posted the poem completely…tonight is just this:
‘Twas the night before Christmas and Santa’s a wreck…How to live in a world that’s politically correct?
Something special was needed, a gift he might give to all without angering the left or right,
A Gift that would satisfy, with no indecision,
Each group or people, every religion;
Every ethnicity, every hue,
Everyone, everywhere…even You.
So here is that gift, it’s price beyond worth…
“May You and Your Loved ones Enjoy Peace on Earth”.
Merry Christmas y Feliz Navidad.

For those of you who are still doing those last minute shopping….New shop opened just recently in Historic Berlin, Maryland. Sea-La-Vie is owned by two sisters. It is located on 11 Artisans Way, Berlin, MD 21811. Tel. 443-513-4768.
 
The building is as cute as it can be. Sea-La-Vie offers home accessories, gifts, and much more. Pick up some local art, a hostess gift, a birthday present. Or, something that might catch your fancy.
Children’s present…and don’t forget your pet.
 
Historic Berlin has plenty of charm. It is a great town to visit any time of the year. This town is surging in the Small Town poll, so stay tuned because Budget Travel’s “Americas Coolest Small Town 2014” will be announced in mid February.
In the meantime stop by Sea-La-Vie.
 
Merry Christmas!! Talk to you later.

Tulip is one of my “go to” stores in Rehoboth Beach. Located at 29819 Coastal Highway (Rt. 1). Tel. 302-226-2696. Website? http://www.tulipltd.com. Tulip is completely decked out for the holidays. It does not stop there, though, because Tulip opens year-round. There are 2 floors and plenty of rooms to roam and find that perfect gift for the holidays.
 
 
I have plenty of friends that have become grandmothers in 2013. The First Christmas ornament is a must!
The New Year’s table at the beaches reflect our casual attitude with flair and understated elegance.
A fun New Year’s with the new ceramic Solo Cups!!
And once the Holidays are a thing of the past….redecorating, adding something here or there….
 
Art, lighting, and furniture…
Have a great day….Merry Christmas!! Love this soap necklace!!
