I just made it home from a week in Gulf Shores, AL with my dear friend Mary and our 2 4 legged children. I met Mary 30 plus years ago at the cemetery where I started my career. Mary was the General Manager at that time. About a year later SCI bought the cemetery, built the funeral home and Greenoaks became one of their premier combos. She retired after 30 plus years in the business. Mary is more like my big sister and helps me so much when I am out of town taking care of my Dusty. We’ve not been able to get away like this for about 6 years, so this was very special for both of us. For many years I have always gone to Destin or Panama City when I traveled to the coast. We decided to try Gulf Shores because it was closer and its harder for Mary to drive long distances now. Everything was perfect! The beach was so much better than it was the last time I was there…….many years ago. The water was clear, the sand was white and the weather perfect. We rented a beach house, which was a first for me. We have always stayed in a condo. Not many of the condos will accept pets, and we were not going to leave them behind. After our stay in the house, it will be hard to go back to the condo:) The week was spent reading, long naps, a little shopping, the best oysters and drinks at the Flora-Bama and long walks on the beach. There is nothing better than walking the beach at sunrise talking to God. God has truly blessed us in so many ways, with so many beautiful things.
