I'd love to be walking barefoot along them. And the birds - carefree, as you say, remind me of God's promise that not one of them falls without his knowledge, and that he cares for us even more.Lorriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03653026442945027184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429786372649785047.post-81576522547338100362012-03-30T10:50:31.203-07:002012-03-30T10:50:31.203-07:00What a trip down memory lane for your hubby!What a trip down memory lane for your hubby!Anneliesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10288355284573379421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429786372649785047.post-10078398597766397142012-03-30T08:49:23.458-07:002012-03-30T08:49:23.458-07:00You make it all so interesting.

Such a gargantuan task to put things to rights after Mother Nature has blown through. <br /><br />It looks beautiful today and one would not be the wiser that anything had ever happened with some views. Wonder what will become of the school. It looks like such a monumental task to preserve such a damaged building.Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618654361869856894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429786372649785047.post-70435501721406987712012-03-30T08:16:47.953-07:002012-03-30T08:16:47.953-07:00How great that you were able to revisit this area....How great that you were able to revisit this area.

Odd that I recall the beaches as oily and dirty looking, due, no doubt to the storms and lax oil industry regulations at the time. The beaches look quite enticing now. <br /><br />Elmer has a great memory lane to visit and share about with the family. That same time period encouraged other young men to indulge in less admirable uses of their free time. Elmer...he's a good man. Both then and now!Thoughts on Life and Millinery.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15826496514403918108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429786372649785047.post-19726653699843991542012-03-30T07:30:49.648-07:002012-03-30T07:30:49.648-07:00Great post Judy!

A friend's family had a condo right on the beach and she invited me, my daughter and three other friends to go with her and her daughter for a week at the beach.It was beautiful! Their condo was high enough in the bldg that it did not sustain much damage, but the floors below were ruined so the bldg had to be demolished. We had such a good time there, the news made me sad. Glad your hubby was able to see the school and was able to share it with you!Miss Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15912779661977359332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429786372649785047.post-36960887002217932122012-03-30T06:56:20.043-07:002012-03-30T06:56:20.043-07:00Thank you Judy.

I'm glad he was able to see something familiar.<br />I'd love to know what the lady thought that came out to talk to you. I bet she doesn't have that conversation too often.<br /><br />The beach photos are beautiful. OH that white sandy beach. It makes sense if that water shares the same shores as the carribean sea.Lovella ♥https://www.blogger.com/profile/13870567090244361779noreply@blogger.com
