B and I often tell each other, “We live at the beach.” Sounds weird ’cause it’s not like we don’t know that we live at the beach, it’s just that we love reminding each other that we do. We love it here. We love the sounds of the waves. We love the fact that we work 3 blocks from the beach and live 3 blocks from the beach. We love that we can smell the salt in the air. We love it here.

We’ve been waiting for the rain to come from Tropical Storm Bonnie. Still hasn’t come yet! Always clouds in the sky but no rain. I even went to the beach yesterday with the clouds up above and still came home with a nice red nose! The beach is relaxing, clouds in the sky or not.

I’ve heard on the news lately that the oil clean up crews have been packed up and moved further west to help with the places that have been really hit hard like Pensacola. It was hard to think that they were actually gone until I drove down Front Beach Road and didn’t see a single one of them. Or their big coach busses. Or their huge fenced in headquarters. They really are gone!

I’m so thankful that we’ve been lucky so far with the oil not reaching us.

The water might have a little seaweed in it but that’s better than oil! I once read a lady complaining about all the June Grass that had washed up on the shore and was mad about how no one was cleaning it up. Lady, the tide washed it away just like it brought it in. There is no need for a large vehicle to come parading down the beach with a ginormous rake behind it. It’s only seaweed. The beach is still just as beautiful with it there than it is without it. Just be happy there isn’t any oil!
