Back to the Beach

We attended our friend's memorial service which began with many special memories shared about her life and concluded with an uplifting rendition of "When the Saints Go Marching In" performed by a three-piece brass band.   She left us, just as she lived her life, "in style'!

With time remaining on our rental at Ft. Morgan we invited family members to take the keys to the house and head to the beach for the upcoming long holiday weekend.  Naturally, we had ulterior motives...we would join them on Sunday afternoon and play on the beach with one of the cutest little girls we know.   Quality beach time on Sunday and a beach photo shoot on Monday morning were opportunities to create special memories....probably more for us than for her.

On Tuesday evening, we attended our first Frank Brown Songwriter's Festival event at Rhythm and Ribs.  We heard 4 Norwegians singing American country and they were "ok".    On Wednesday evening, we listened to Christian and Durand, two Lisas that were as comical as they were talented.  On Thursday, we headed back to The Tin Top for some good food and more music.  On Friday night, we returned to The Frog Pond to once again hear Grayson Capps and Mary Gauthier. 

Saturday morning, we once again packed the car, the dog, and returned home.   A month on the gulf, minus 4 days.....not too shabby!
