Well, we made it a year!! I can't believe that we left our home over a year ago. It really has been an exciting adventure and we have had a blast. Our home here in Florida has the best view and it is so bright you have to wear shades.
We even have experienced near 100% humidity with 90 deg heat. It's not so bad. But my air conditioning went out in my little car and I went right in and had it fixed. And did everyone but us know it rains in Florida? It has rained almost every day the last month or so. It doesn't last all day and it varies what time it rains but when it does it really comes down. The other day there was over 5 inches of rain in a couple of hours. We can hardly see the ground out our windows.
On Labor Day we drove to Biloxi and Gulfport Mississippi to see the area. Hurricane Katrina destroyed quite a bit of the town. Along the gulf coast highway there were only a few old homes and hotels and other buildings left standing. Here is what is left of a motor inn. There is concrete where the parking lot is and here is the swimming pool. There were lots of front porches left but nothing else.
To celebrate our year anniversary we went out to dinner at a neat place called 'The Warf" in nearby Orange Beach, Alabama. And then we had our picture taken in front of our 57 ft yacht. I guess I can dream.
