For Mental Well Being, Take Prozac! (the boat)

2010-03-28T11:10:00.011-04:00

My husband's philosophy on his mental well being is "Better living through chemistry", my opinion often differs from his. I believe a couple hours on the water is the best mental therapy!

Prozac - "a drug used in the treatment of depression, obsessive-compulsive disorders, panic attacks, ..."!

Have you seen this boat? I've seen this boat wasting away beside the house of some poor, depressed soul in Wake, Virginia. I say, "Fix'er up Buddy and get on the water, it's a guaranteed remedy for your Winter blues and will improve your mental well being!" It's MY Prozac! You named the boat, you know it's true. ...just remember....

Prozac (fluoxetine) may intensify the effects of alcohol, so if you choose to drink while on "Prozac", drink in moderation and be aware of the effects the medication may have on your body and motor skills.

Deltaville, Virginia: Holiday Hayride and Boat Tour of Lights on Jackson Creek

2009-12-09T14:44:00.010-05:00

Celebrate the season of Christmas with an old fashioned hayride sponsored by the Deltaville Community Association (DCA). This annual event provides visitors an opportunity to see all the Christmas decorations along Lover's Lane and the beauty of the lights glittering on the water of Jackson Creek. The fun begins with a hayride from the Community Center, located in the center of town, to the town dock where visitors board a typical Chesapeake Bay deadrise, or similar vessel, for a tour of Jackson Creek. After the 30-minute cruise, a return hayride takes folks back to the Community Center for free homemade cookies and hot cider. Santa will be available to receive the children's wish lists at the DCA building . Cruises leave at 5, 6, and 7 pm and an 8 o'clock cruise will be scheduled if the earlier cruises are sold out. Local businesses will hold an open house throughout Deltaville between 5-7 p.m. where you can purchase tickets for the event and shop for that perfect Christmas gift. Don't forget to bring an unwrapped gift for Toys for Tots and drop it off at the Long & Foster Deltaville office.

Welcome to Deltaville, Virginia - Your Gateway to the Bay

2009-07-10T15:10:00.001-04:00

Within rural Middlesex County, Virginia is Deltaville, Virginia 23043 A small, quaint fishing village surrounded by water.

Deltaville is celebrating its 100th birthday this year. www.deltavilleva.com

Although there is a reported population of approximately 1600, these numbers do not account for the growth in population during the summer months in which the so called "come here's" retreat to their "rivah" homes.

Once known as the wooden boat building capitol of the Chesapeake Bay, Deltaville, Virginia is on the western shoreline of the Chesapeake Bay. The eastern shore is approximately 17 miles across the Bay and makes for an easy day sail. The eastern tip of this Middle Peninsula is Stingray Point, named by Captain John Smith after being stung by a Stingray. (Latitude 37.5674 Longitude 76.2572) Captain John Smith has been quoted as saying "Heaven and earth have never agreed better to frame a place for man's habitation".

There is only one road in and one road out of Deltaville, Virginia and that would be State Route 33, also known as General Puller Highway. Stingray Point is the end of the road and meets with the Chesapeake Bay.

The town of Deltaville is bounded on the north by the Rapphannock River and on the south by the Piankatank River. There are many creeks and marshes meandering off these Rivers. Sailing, power boating, fishing, kayaking, canoeing, swimming, and all things relating to the water is what makes Deltaville an ideal vacation community.

Middlesex County has over 22 marinas, most are in Deltaville. It is not unusual to meet many transients travelling North to South or vice versa. Deltaville is a favourite layover for many "snow birds" heading South for the Winter.

Etc.

Take me out to the Ball Park...."the Deltaville Ballpark -- that's its name, plain and simple!

It is a different experience than even a low-level minor league can provide. It's amateur baseball, featuring mostly college-age players, at a World War II-era ballpark in a small town that adores its team. It's great fun for the young at heart.

Think it costs too much to take the family to a ballgame these days? Admission to a Deltas game is $5 -- unless you're 12 or younger, in which case you get in free. There's no charge to park in the grass next to the ballpark, and in fact, if you arrive early enough you might run into some of the players as they get dressed for the game in their cars (since the park has no locker rooms). At the concession stand, you can get a hot dog, chips and a soft drink for less than $3.

Many years ago, there were ballparks like this one all around the Northern Neck. The Deltaville Ballpark -- lovingly maintained by the entire community -- is the last one still standing. Several years ago," the outfield fence had to be replaced. Chain link would have been cheaper, but the committee that maintains the ballpark knew that wouldn't do. In order to keep that vintage look, they made it from lumber and corrugated metal, using volunteers and prison labor to construct the fence.

Deltaville fans sit in wooden grandstands behind home plate or along the third-base line, protected from foul balls by a fence. Most similar ballparks used chicken wire; at Deltaville, they used the same type of wire used to make crab pots. "It was very available in this area," Deltas manager Jerry Crittenden says." http://www.dailypress.com/travel/dp-deltavilletravel,0,2259434.story

Deltaville is protected by local volunteer fire fighter's and medic's. The nearest hospital's are about a 30 minute commute to Gloucester or Kilmarnock on the Northern Neck of Virginia.

The Lower Middlesex Volunteer Fire Department and the Middlesex County Volunteer Rescue Squad are funded by donations and events. The Rescue Squad holds Bingo every Monday night and has an annual Chicken & Shrimp dinner. The Fire Department has many fund-raising events such as the annual Crab Feast the first weekend in August.

A visit to Deltaville, Virginia is like taking a step back in time. A Mayberry RFD type of town with a much slower pace, there's no need to be in a hurry in Deltaville. The only traffic jams you might encounter are at the start of a sailboat race.
Deltaville is just a simpler place in time...

Ah, the smell of spring is in the air. Fresh flowers blooming,

fresh cut lawns, and yes, the free stuff:

So, if you don't have enough @#$% in your life, you can get that for free in Wake, Virginia. Time to get those flower beds in order and stir up some.....! Sorry, I just couldn't help myself when I saw this sign on the side of the road.

Within Middlesex County, Virginia is a little town called Wake. Wake is beautiful horse country, There are big horses and little horses, black horses and white horses. The little horses are known as the Wonder Horses and are about the size of a large dog. Adorable!

Yes, Spring is in the air. The horses are frolicking in the pastures and it can't help but bring a smile as you see a gentle kiss between two lovers.

Deltaville Gets Snow - Middlesex, Virginia

2009-03-02T17:30:00.000-05:00

Deltaville received about three inches of snow. It wasn't much but enough to keep the children out of school for the much anticipated snow day. There was enough snow for some neighbourhood children to build this cute little snowman. Enough snow to make the treetops glissen.

Stingray Point Polar Bear Plunge 2009

2009-02-16T15:53:00.002-05:00

Living in a small, waterfront, resort town can be a bit boring in the winter months but jumping in the Chesapeake Bay in February is just crazy. It was all in the spirit of a good cause, collecting donations for the Deltaville Volunteer Fire Department, however, I cannot fathom jumping into 40° ± water. My husband, being a professional fire fighter for the City of Newport News , suited up in a dry suit and waded out serving as a rescue diver. I served as a spectator with my donation in hand. I prefer not to participate in any activity that requires a Rescue Squad and Certified Diver on site. I applaud those that participated in the Plunge at Stingray Point as well as the Virginia Beach Polar Plunge the same weekend and many others around the Country.

Mortgage Rate Happenings

2009-01-19T10:33:00.001-05:00

According to Freddie Mac, interest rates have reached record lows with the 11th consecutive week of interest rate declines. Here is your financial update from Prosperity Mortgage. I hope this information will be helpful to you. Bottom line, mortgage rates are at an all time low and its a great time to invest in real estate. Mortgage bond pricesfell last week pushing rates higher despite continued signs of economicweakness. The Senate approved additional TARP funding pushing another$350 billion into the effort to stem the credit crisis. Consumersentiment came in surprisingly better than expected despite headlinesdominated by news that financial firms continue to struggle as Bank ofAmerica requested an additional 25 billion from Tarp funds to completethe Merrill Lynch merger. Earnings from banking giant JP Morgan Chasedid surprise for the fourth quarter as they showed a profit of 7 centsper share, while analysts expected no profit for the fourth quarter. TheFed Chairman Bernanke indicated the timing of a global economic recoverywas “highly uncertain.” Statements like this and the global economichealth as a whole caused investors to place money into treasurysecurities and out of stocks and mortgage backed securities causinginterest rates on government and conventional loans to rise by about 3/4of a discount point. It seems mortgage rates are fluctuating between a4.75% and 5.25%. It will be interesting to see if mortgage rates comeback below 5% in the coming week.
