Okaloosa Island

When I was growing up we used to visit old friends of the family who had a beach house on Okaloosa Island. They do not live there now but have kept it as a second home for a number of years. Unfortunately, Hurricane Ivan decided that he did not like the decor and redecorated it. In his wake he left 18 inches of water in the downstairs mixed with some slime and some fish. He also sent debris into the roof of the upstairs bedroom and left even more water. From my understanding there is quite a bit of damage but they are going to redo the house yet again. They had to make some repairs to the downstairs 9 years ago after Hurricane Opal. Well anyway, I was just remembering the last time that I visited the beach house was 15 years ago. I had just graduated from High School and my parents took me and my best friend Teresa to the beach. That was a memorable trip we stayed in these condos. The condos are not far from the family friends beach house. They have had this house as long as I can remember. When we would go to Fort Walton to visit the family friends we would drive to Destin To Eat unfortunately the restaurants that I remember eating at no longer exist.

I made this tasty dish for dinner tonight. Very Quick and Easy to put together. Quick and easy dishes are my favorites to cook.

Blog Anniversary Milestone

   It is hard to believe that I have had this blog for the last 7 years.   I never thought that I would continue to do it for this long.    I have taken breaks here and there but I always come back and post something.   Sometimes it is a few weeks or months.   I have gone as long as a year but I always come back.   Looking through my archives I found how short my posts were and how few and far between they are in some spots as well.  When my husband and I set up our blogs all those years ago not many people knew what blogs were.   Now everyone has one.   Okay, well maybe not everyone my parents do not have one nor do I see either of them getting one anytime soon.  It is amazing to see what people blog about.   I read a long list of blogs religiously but have never been able to blog what I would call consistently.   As much as I enjoy it it seems a lot of people get tired of...

Technology

Well where do I begin with this one.   It seems like technology has not been my friend this week.  I wanted to make some updates to my handmade jewelry store , but the internet had other things in mind for me.  Yesterday when our internet connection seemed to be working in my favor I set out to do the updates that I mentioned.   Well that did not happen.  The network storage device that we have for backup was not accessible all day long.  Last night after Art woke up he finally got the device working again.   Needless to say we just backed up the device with a portable usb hard drive.  I didn�t know everything had to be so redundant.  So this morning was spent making updates to my site and getting blog going for my handmade jewelry store.  Everything store related will be posted here.    I will occasionally mention it on this one but any changes I make or products I add will be posted on my jewelry blog.
