Soon after the 9/11 disaster, I saw this signed print on eBay. I immediately bid on it and finally won.

FAVORITE DELAWARE COAST PLACES SAGA:

INDIAN RIVER LIFE SAVING STATION
Rehoboth Beach

This is a remarkable group of 19th Century buildings.

Before the Coast Guard existed, these life saving stations were at regular intervals along the coast to save people from ship wrecks.

Men would stay for weeks at a time occupying the barracks.

Special equipment was invented to help the rescues.

FAVORITE DELAWARE BEACHES RESTAURANTS SAGA 7:

GILLIGAN'S WATERFRONT RESTAURANT AND BAR

Lewes, Delaware

One of my favorite places is GILLIGAN'S. It's right on the Lewes and Rehoboth Canal in Lewes, half in an old fishing boat from Key West, perched up on the bank.

The bar and kitchen are in the boat. The restaurant is on a deck extending along the water. An enclosed dinning area has recently been added.

Half of the deck is under two beautiful cherry trees.

The food is good but the setting and view are extraordinary!

The scrumptious crab cake is the house specialty. The best I've ever had!

ARTWORK SAGA 3:

RAY PETERSEN PAINTING
Milton, DE.
2009

The instant I saw this painting I knew Io had to have it.  My friend Ray had just restarted his art avocation. He had been a botany professor at Howard University. So, his insight into plant design is remarkable.

ROSE HIPS: The Coral Sea

The painting has inspired me so I painted my walls with branches to resemble the twigs in the painting!

TIDBITES SAGA:

THE KITCHEN AT PAYNTER'S MILL
Milton, DE

This establishment is now run by the old Second Street Grille which closed in Lewes.

It's small and cozy with a fireplace.

The food is scrumptious and reasonable in cost.

Marilyn, Ted and I went there on February 17th, 2012. We had a lovely meal with lots of conversation.
