Meet my doggie, Merlin.  Merlin will be two years old in November.  My husband and I thought long and hard before deciding to adopt a dog again after about a 12 year hiatus.  Dogs had been an integral part of our family before, but it had been a while.  One thing that made us hesitate was not wan...

In the July/August, 2006, issue of AARP Magazine (American Association of Retired Persons), Rehoboth Beach and environs was cited as one of the top five places to retire in the country!  What was true then remains true today, and since the article's publication many more people are looking to Coa...

It has started.....the annual slow-down to fall and the best time to be in Rehoboth Beach.  Now don't get me wrong.  I love our summer guests.  There are some delightful people who vacation here each summer and, frankly, the area wouldn't have much of an economy without them.  However, all of the...

And while we're talking about good news, The Debbie Reed Team of RE/MA...

My family and I had a delightful dining experience tonight at the Baywood Clubhouse Restaurant at Baywood Greens golf course on Rt. 24 in Longneck.  We'd heard from many that it was a good place to eat, but had never tried it until tonight. We sat out on the beautiful veranda, that was a wide, co...

My husband and I just got home after spending an incredible evening at Bear Trap Dunes in Ocean View--no, not playing golf on the fine course, or eating in the delicious restaurant.  We were outside on the "Village Green," sitting in lawn chairs we brought from home and watching South Pacific.  T...

One of the features I love most about summers in Rehoboth is the concerts at the Bandstand each weekend.  Thursday through Sunday nights, the public is entertained by groups from all over the East Coast, including community bands, party bands and military bands (my personal favorite).  I had the ...

Rehoboth Beach was once known as "the nation's Summer Capitol," because of the migration from Washington, D.C. to this convenient beach retreat every summer.  In a bold reversal, I spent several days in Washington itself this week, in the charming company of my sister, her husband and their two c...
