a postcard from Florida's Emerald Coast...


We checked in here after dark.
Did we want an ocean view room...
or one that faced the parking lot?
Of course we wanted a room with a view!
But the price was dear...
and we were leaving first thing in the morning...
so we chose to save the dollars and by-pass the view.
The girl at the counter gave us a gift!
This was the view we looked down on in the morning.
Sugar-white beaches that stretched as far as the eye could see.

  10. I'm sure that you told her it was your 60th birthday...
    But it looks cloudy just like here...and cold. I just purchased some more layers for my ski trip next week.
    I won't change my header till it's sunny outside.
