Thanksgiving at the Beach

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! Jan and I, along with both of our moms, are celebrating Thanksgiving at Orange Beach on the Gulf coast this year. It is a good time to relax and think about all of the things we have to be grateful for. We thought that this year, especially, it would be good to get away for Thanksgiving week. It's our first holiday without Buddy. Monday would have been his 90th birthday.

The weather is beautiful here. Hard to believe it's almost December. Jan and I walked barefoot on the beach late this afternoon. The water looked almost turquoise, and the sky at sunset was myriad shades of pink. God really knew what He was doing.

Instead of a traditional Thanksgiving lunch, we headed over to the Wolf Bay Marina and ate at the Harbour Grill. No turkey and dressing here; instead we had tuna, shrimp, and eggs Sardou. Great food!

Whatever you had to eat today, I hope you were surrounded by good friends and family.

Thanks to everyone for the wonderful, positive response to the new website.

Hope you enjoy this week's MP3, Wind in Her Hair, which was inspired by watching Jan on the beach during a wonderful visit to North Captiva Island.

See you next week.
