Bethany Beach Bums

Thursday, June 7, 2012

Strawberries were early this year and are still being harvested. How fine is that to have a long strawberry season?

These are our strawberries...we share with the birds.

And here is my scratch angel food strawberry cream cake.....thanks, Martha! I think I nailed it.

Lorie and Jim: We are happily living in Bethany Beach, DE, a resort town which grows many times its size in the summer months when people come to vacation by the ocean. In the winter, the locals enjoy restaurant specials, little traffic and quiet. Jim continues to take pictures of sunrises and sunsets, local flora and shore birds. The greeting cards he creates from these photos are very popular. Our seven active grands play many sports. Pop is the best sports photographer around! He works at the local UPS store. Lorie enjoys working on church committees, esp. the mission committee which designates monies earned by fund raisers to worthy projects around the world. She volunteers in Read Aloud DE, a program that promotes a love of reading in young children in local schools. Recently she has taken an interest in her own photos, joined the Coastal Camera Club and has been competive in entering these photos in club competitions. Together we write a monthly church newsletter. This blog not only helps to chronicle our lives but it also reminds us of how lucky we are to be living our dream.
