AboutMyBeaches is 2 Years Old, Events, Activities, Restaurants, Reviews, Recipes, Delaware Beaches, Ocean City, Maryland, Delray Beach, Florida,

and points in between.  Yes, sometimes I might be on my way somewhere and the opportunity calls to check out a food truck, a tapas bar, a new beach, or a new museum.  That’s why it is so much fun about writting a website in a blog style.  It is a diary, yours alone. 

AboutMyBeaches has made realized that I want to know and experience more.  I remember when my webmaster, Ed Timmons from 4C, Inc., http://www.4cinc.com, mentioned I should write a blog instead of the standard website.  I guess he figured I was talking his ear off so I was a good candidate for bla, bla, bla.  He just did not know how much I could talk. 

Then, I started blogging, only a few readers here or there.  People that are connected on the internet suddenly started to find me.  I think my posts are honest and from my heart.  I have posted so far 728 posts, and now I am getting over 14,000 hits per month.  Who would have thought?

And, you know what? I want more.  Granted, some posts are more interesting than others; so its life itself.  Remember that it is a diary.

Pictures….I decided to incorporate them because people are so visual.  Looking at a picture entices you to read.  Well, I should hope so, even though I do have some friends that say they have read the posts but maybe they just looked at the pictures.  I know who they are, right?  Shelley, Debbie at times.  Not Missy or Richard, though.  My fault, I test them.

My friends and my family have put up going out to dinner with me.  My first statement as we sit down at a table is “don’t touch the food until I take a picture” and “can we all order something different?”  I am surprised they even still want to go out with me.

It is so funny because I get e-mails or suggestions on places to go and check out.  I welcome them; we all have different likes and dislikes and I am an inquisitive person.

The coastals towns that, I, predominantly promote, I love.  There is something about living by the ocean.  I know I am lucky.  The Delaware Beaches have been home for many years and so good to my family.  Giving them a push is not a brainer.

I do offer advertising on my website.  It is $500/ per year.  I offer personal care.  No clicks here or there.  You are there to stay on my site.  Thanks to the following advertisers. 

Tidewater Realty – http://www.tidewaterrealty.com. Delaware is Small Wonder.  The beaches are so great.  It has grown so much since I first arrived.  Tax free, low property taxes and mild winters are an attraction.

Tauriello & Com – http://www.tauriello.com.  I have used this company in Delray Beach.  That Village by the Sea has amazing unobstructed beaches, restaurants, shopping and I do have a place there.  Sometimes I hate to pass the word around because I want it all to myself.

I thank them all.  If you are interested, please contact me.

I have posts to write.  A few still left from my 24 hours in Baltimore, Maryland.  Events going on at the Rehoboth Museum, a must if you are visiting Rehoboth Beach.  On the Rocks is, believe it or not, inside the terminal for the Cape May-Lewes Ferry.  Amazing views; casual, a beer or a hamburger, fries.  I want to check the tailor in Rehoboth….got to go..have a great day!!

Tauriello & Company, Real Estate, Anita Jennings Designs, Interior Designer, Beach House Management, LLC, Property Management, Delray Beach, Florida, South Florida, Palm Beach County

Continuing with my previous post about Delray Beach, I will have to mention 3 companies that I have dealt with for many years.  I can truly recommend them to you as very reliable, competent and professional.

As the season starts in South Florida and as our weather turns a little colder you might want to check out Delray Beach.  It is funny because some of my friends that already have properties there keep telling me to keep it quiet; they don’t want people to discover this Village by the Sea.  I think the word is out, though.

Tauriello & Company – Real Estate. “Matching People with Properties”.  I have used them to purchase real estate in Delray Beach.  Cheran Tauriello has lived in Delray for many years and is very capable of showing the right property for you.  She was the first person that I worked with and of course I have met Sue Tauriello who is the Broker of Record for the company. 

Tauriello & Company advertises on this website and you can see them on the right hand side.  Just click on it to be directed to their website.  The telephone is 561-278-5578.

Anita Jennings Designs – An interior designer that I have used.  Anita is bilingual and a very easy person to deal with.  Her telephone is 561-278-7473.  What I like about her is that she does not imposed her taste on you; she is so honest and very reasonable.

Anita advertises in this website so just click on her website and you will get information on her services.

Beach House Management, LLC – Michael Keegan – What can I tell you about this company and Michael?  Over the years he has been more than a property manager; more like a friend and someone that I can fully trust with everything.

He has helped my children while they were living in Florida and just recently was very instrumental in helping us deal with a fire in our townhouse. He found us Dan Palmer who was responsible for the restoration.  I will have to write about him later, as well.

Michael also is our property manager in another property in Delray.  He is one of my advertisers so, you can click on the right hand side of this site to see what this company has to offer.  His tel. is 561-376-4329. 

I want to thank them all for their continued support and help.  Hope the coming season brings all of them much success!!

Talk to you later….
