Spiral Staircase with Fabulous window.......... A grand piano will be placed here.WOW! We just got back from a wonderful time at the Beach with our friends, The Thornells, who graciously invited us to stay at their wonderful cottage right on the OCEAN! The weather was so fantastic and the FOOD was wonderful and the COMPANY so delightful! We really did not want to come home!
While there, we toured Alys Beach which is a fairly new development near Rosemary Beach. Our friends are in the process of building a home there along with 6 other investors. I took photos and will share them with you. It is really an extraordinary and beautiful community!
We also went to the SEASIDE community flea market which is held twice a year. We helped my friend's mother with the selling of her goods and it was so much FUN!! I found some really great DEALS that I will share with you also.
Well, that is about it for our trip to points in Florida. We did have so much FUN and laughed and ate and tromped on the beach and saw some gorgeous sunsets.
Some thoughts on FRIENDS:
A Friend is one of the nicest things you can have, and one of the best things YOU can be.
A good FRIEND is cheaper than Therapy!
The most beautiful discovery true friends make is that they can GROW separately without growing APART!
Our friends, the Thornells, have been our friends since we were young and just starting our families and after almost 40 years, we are still such close friends. That is amazing to me because we haven't had to really TRY to stay close..........it just came really easy!.....Thanks for a great time at the Beach, Nancy and Stanley.....We love ya!
