Sad Day... The Beach House Is Gone

Well, it looks as if it is gone! This is truly a sad day. I practically grew up in that house and was watching my son do the same. All my friends and family that have visited over the years... all the new friends and a lot of the new family met for the first time.... college parties... spring break... best seafood ever... Mama Theresa's... sitting in the swing with the cool ocean breeze with my coffee (or Bloody Mary)...

Too early to know if/how we will rebuild.



The best look we have had so far. See the larger image at:

very sad day ... very sad. We all have memories at that house, from the Easters to where there was too many people in the house and people and to sleep on the floor, the boys peeing in the down stairs shower, craw fish, mama theresa's and being at the beach so long everyone had sunburns. That beach house was where all of us grew up. That is all we looked forward to after winter was that first trip back up to the beach house. The beach house will be missed... but at least we all have great memories to take from it. Even Sean, who called from Iraq was upset about the beach house- word travels fast.
