Our Turn

After all of the gloom and doom after the hurricane, not knowing if we were going to have a beach house, throwing out 30+ years worth of stuff in the house, dealing with a juvenile contractor and all the highs and lows, on June 30, 2009 Michael, Jean and I headed down to the beach to officially begin our part of the rebuilding. A bit of a daunting task to say the least, but when we drove up to the house this flower was one of the first things that caught our eye. Mom planted these flowers (no clue what they are called - clearly didn't inherit her green thumb) ages and ages ago. When the monster of a bougainvillea was still there these got hidden a bit, but here they were blooming away like nothing had happened. Not sure how the salt water didn't kill them. Fortunately it killed the bougainvillea! Gave us a nice boost and we took it as a sign that we were meant to still be there.


So here we go, step 1 - a functioning bathroom with walls
