A Pouporee of Random Photos,Thanks to the All New Blog Softwear

My favorite shore birds

cute bird

In case you went to the kitchen and forgot what you went for.

Good board storage

Big Foot

Looks real big when you notice that those little orange things are men on the front of the ship

and please note our handy potato chip rack on top of the refridgerator. Excellent use of space

Closet messiness. this is where I keep all my clothing. Just like when I was a little girl. And all over my head. On the up side, I am amazed at how lovely it is to have all my clothing in the bathroom. If anyone builds a house, I highly recommend it.

Yes, it is all more difficult with the new blogger. It does what it wants, as evidenced by this nicely underlined sentence.

Valentine's Day Foodie Post

Oysters Rockefeller

Quais

Lamb chops/roast

Paul and I with Jeff in front of the restaurant.

This was our planned meal for Valentine's Day, lobster tails and a steak. During the Marti Gras Parade , Jeff the chef at Roosevelt's talked us into going there for dinner, he called and got us a table. He is nice and a good friend. He bought us the Oyster's Rockefeller appetizer . Which was very good.

Mardi Gras in Port A

Susan, Javier, Paul and bartender Millie

Just random parade shots that Paul took. It was a good day for a parade. Very long, lots of decorated golf carts fulled with drunken Winter Texans. A good time was had by all.

Beach Walk

Finally, this week I have the energy to walk down to the beach for a walk. It is close and so convenient. The first time in 8 years I saw the sunrise on the beach. Delightful.

Saturday Breakast Entertainment

In front of our condo a subdivision of huge beach houses is going up. We were entertained by the metal roofs being put on, the cement work, and most exciting, this guy walking along the scaffolding on the third floor porch area . No safety belt, no ropes, no net. He could have been walking on the ground instead of a wobbly 2 x 4. He just walked, reached up to adjust something, or to the side or under the roof line.

One of the houses right in front - but not blocking our views yet, is rented for next winter already. Two bedrooms, garage, washer and dryer, etc. For $1,800 a month. They are all duplex at least. The 3 story we don't know about yet .

This area is having a huge building boom, due to the oil and gas industry boom. During the MLK weekend people were all over the area looking at lots, measuring, taking pictures. Javier and Susan just sold their lot. Massive houses going up at Cinnamon Shores, where the Coastal Living Idea house is.

Emery and Shirley have rented a 5 bedroom home that was finished last May. The owner has already made $33,000 in rentals.
