Once in a while I start piling up some of the services that I have used. Word of mouth is such an important marketing tool. I want to pass them on to you. You might need them.
AboutMyBeaches has a Services category on the left hand side of the website. In the past few years I have put them there for your use; from design services to collision services.
One day my garage door was stuck. It ended being something very simple but Precision Door Service, which I had used in the past, was at my house in no time. Telephones: In Delaware, please call 302-429-1992. In Maryland, please call 410-372-4852. Toll free? 800-New-Door. Website? http://www.mynewdoor.com.
The owners of KitchenTune-up are Ron Reichert and Bob DiToto. They have been in the kitchen cabinet business for many years. They specialize in custom refacing, custom cabinets, wood reconditioning and when they say they are going to be there; they are on time. They guarantee their estimates and their work. They are located at 37169 Rehoboth Ave., Henlopen Sq. in Rehoboth Beach. Tel. 302-227-5544. Website? http://www.kitchentuneup.com.
Again, I had some minor repairs on my kitchen cabinets and drawers and they were able to fix them at a very reasonable cost.
Computers!! Tim Bixby has been in the computer business for quite some time. His new computer services company is called Shore Bytes. It is located at 26412 Broadkill Rd., Milton, DE 19968-2955. Tel. 302-448-4302. Website? http://www.shorebytes.com. You can also find him on Facebook. Email him to info@shorebytes.com.
For years I have used Tim for computer services. He specializes in tune-ups, installation, virus removal, or, you can do like I did and buy a computer through him. Tim looked at my needs and gave me several options. Installation was part of the cost of my new computer. Please note that Shore Bytes services from Ocean City, Maryland to Dover, Delaware.
Most of the time I use BWI airport in Baltimore, Maryland. But, when I use the Philadelphia Airport, then, an airport valet service makes it so much easier. Pacifico Valet takes you in your car and drops you off at the airport. Upon arrival all you have to do is call them and they will pick you up in your car.
Pacifico Valet is located at 6715 Essington Avenue at the Philadelphia Airport Auto Mall. Tel. 215-492-0990. Website? http://www.pacificovalet.com.
If you are driving north on I-95 you will get off on Exit 10….check the website above mentioned because directions are there. Very easy to get to. No reservations are necessary.
Please note that during the holidays you should give yourself some extra time.
Those are my tips for today…talk to you later.

It just happened to me, so this post is so, how shall I say it, “apropos”? You go away from your immediate surroundings and things just happen. Oh, I forgot to tell you that I took a trip to Delray Beach, Florida. My neighbor asked “not hot enough here, in Delaware, for you?”
South Florida is not, at the present time, the sunshine state. Actually, it is pouring and so far the car did not start; AAA, here in not time and car left on a flat bed. Computer? Not connected to the internet, why would it? So, that’s why it has taken so long to post. Weather? Hot and humid, but I did not expect it any different.
Quiet, though. The Village by the Sea is in its Second Season; I like it that way.
I have my own “Angie’s list”. My, AboutMyBeaches List. Tried and true by me. As I try new services at the Delaware Beaches, you will be the first ones to know.
