O is for Ocean

This was taken a few weeks ago at St. Joe State Park...just out of Port St. Joe, Florida. It's about half an hour from our house and we went down for the day to try some fishing. I love the ocean.

And, I wanted to share a poem I wrote with y'all that expresses how I feel about the ocean in general (even though I wrote it about the Aran Islands in Ireland after a trip there).

In the distance twixt sea and sky
The Arans loom before my eye
Lonely and desolate they call to me,
"Return, restore your soul."
~~~Judy Thomas, May 1999

The Letter N is brought to you today by Quilly's Alphabet Challenge



This is our daughter, Ashley, and two of her friends (Tina and Brad) being silly... but then, what else is new??

M is for Mountains

This picture is from our honeymoon in the Blue Ridge Mountains. I am ready to go back...maybe this fall.

I and J are for Icy Judy

Clingman's Dome in the Blue Ridge Mountains.... I decided to do both I and J today. The picture is blurry, but this is me. It was only October, but boy was I cold!!!

These are shots our our place in Eastpoint. We go down as often as we can... which isn't as often as we want!



And this is what we get to look at. Anyone want to come and visit??

It was a relief to get the last of the kids out of high school!
