Hi Shannon!  I hope you have a great weekend in Naples!  I would love to visit that part of the state again........

I have arrived in Orange Beach just in time for the rain!  I'm here with my husband who is attending a safety conference.  I'm here to relax, tan and eat.  Looks like any tan will be fake but I am looking forward to enjoying my favorite restaurants and seeing friends that I only see annually at the event!

Hi Ann,

Glad you made it and sorry about the tan .  Hope you get to do the relaxing and eating - seeing your friends should make up for it too.  We are still getting rain UGH - the water is still here and I'm ready for something very dry - maybe a trip to Arizona is the thing I need!

 

Marchel - no no no ... that darn storm is still stirring up rain down here.  I am trying to think positively to counter the whole what you resist persists .... I bought big black rubber boots at Walmart last night so at least my feet are dry!

 

Christopher and Stephanie , Thanks for the comment ... It is a very wonderful place especially when it's a bit dryer :-)  This rain is unusual and I'm hoping it clears out so I can relax by the beach listening to some Jazz tonight.  You ought to come down sometime....

Chris  It is a great setting although it's been off and on rainy today ... I am going to go to the Jazz  and hope it stays clear by the beach.  There was a nice breeze earlier and blue sky when I walked it so keep your fingers crossed!  I hope to make a kayak trip one of these days!   Actually I want to buy my own...
