Today on DelmarvaLife:

When you have time off from your daily life, what do you normally do? Maybe go to the beach or sit poolside with a good book? Well several healthcare professionals from Delmarva are going on a trip not to soak up the sun, but rather help those in need. Jimmy and Lisa speak with team leader, Veronique Diriker and medical student, Chris Pellegrino, who work with the nonprofit organization, La Merced. They tell us about the philanthropic work they do for children in Nicaragua, and what they’re doing to prepare for their upcoming trip.

Next, we’re talking pests but not the human kind, rather the pests that eat and live in your garden and plants. Gardening expert, Ginny Rosenkranz, stops by to share some tips and tricks to keep those pesty pests under control and off your blossoming buds.

The future holds many surprises, both good and bad, and as long as you’re prepared, handling life’s many surprises can be accomplished with ease. Jimmy and Lisa learn how to prepare for the future with the help of Michael Andersen, Founder and President of Andersen Wealth Management in Easton and Salisbury. He tells us how his services help clients understand what their wealth and savings mean when it comes to financial freedom, choices and stability, as well as how to prepare for anything life may throw your way.

Next, we check out a hidden gem in Milford. Lisa stops by the family-owned Milford treasure, The Palace, to check out what they’re cooking that’s sure to make your mouth water. Plus, once you get your meal, why not dine outdoors? Lisa shows us The Palace’s amazing outdoor space that even features live entertainment on weekends!

We also sit down with WBOC’s Director of Digital Media, Ethan Holland, who told us all that’s “appening” in another segment of “What’s Appening”. Ethan explains the hottest apps on the market right now, as well as what Firefly Festival attendees should be aware of before heading to Dover this weekend.
