Well, as much as we don't like to talk about it I know you all have heard about the BP Oil Leak. The media rushed in and told everyone that everything would basically be black and ugly for years to come. Rule #1....NEVER listen to 100% of what the media is telling you because my thoughts are that they are usually lucky if they are half right. Our beautiful
Emerald Coast has been threatened for weeks now, and our town like many others is ready to do whatever it takes to keep our beautiful beaches BEAUTIFUL! The sun has been shining extra bright, the water is nice and the sand is still soft and white so if you're not here you are missing out.
You know how it is when friends get together....funny and great things can happen, and trust me...it's always over a lot of laughs. This idea for our
BP SOB Save Our Beaches T-Shirt was an idea from a good friend. Her name is Kim also, so yes she is smart like that...lol! She shared her idea and we immediately put it into plan. The main reason to jump on the making on the shirts was because there's a special outdoor event taking place this Sunday down on the Harbor in
DESTIN to benefit our Fisherman. The
Fight for Fisherman event will be held this Sunday, May 16th, near the
BOAT HOUSE Restaurant behind the
RED DOOR from 3 to 7. Many of our local businesses will be set up and 10% of all proceeds will be donated to the
Fight for Fisherman Fund. My friend Kim works in the non-profit arena so it's only fitting that we roll it out for a benefit. Kim's dad was a great man and she said he was always coming up with cute sayings. He passed a few years ago, and she says she knows that he was the one who gave her this great idea. Thanks Kim...I love you and you are a great friend!
