Pets on wheels Delmarva is a group of volunteer teams (pet and handler) who visit nursing homes, assisted living homes, homes for the handicapped and other facilities. The friendly visits are always welcomed by both the residents and their care givers. Pet volunteers have an instinctive way of giving comfort and joy to folks which often exceeds human contact. On some days, a visit from a Pets On Wheels volunteer team may be the only contact from the outside world for a resident. Many residents have had to give up their pets and enjoy remembering them when they interact during a Pets On Wheels visit. Visit the Pets on Wheels website.

Wye Mills is a township on the border of Talbot County and Queen Anne’s County, Maryland. It was the home of the Wye Oak (Maryland’s honorary state tree, which was destroyed in a June 6, 2002, thunderstorm) and of Chesapeake College. In 1671 a gristmill was built on the Wye River here. Over 300 years later, there is still a mill operating on the site, making it the oldest commercial enterprise in Queen Anne’s or Talbot Counties. Also of interest to fishermen, Wye Mills Lake is a standard bass/bluegill lake and is managed as such. Good numbers and sizes of bass and bluegills are present.

The skipjack is a type of sailboat developed on the Chesapeake Bay for oyster dredging. It succeeded the bugeye as the chief oystering boat on the bay, and remains in service due to laws restricting the use of powerboats in the Maryland state oyster fishery. It has long been an icon of the Eastern Shore. You may arrange to take a ride on a skipjack on Tilghman Island and experience a part of Eastern Shore history. For schedules and fees, visit the site of the Rebecca T. Ruark.
