He and my aunt and all their gang filled house the with noise and laughter, and it seemed like there were 100s of people in the house. I was also there when Katrina hit, and it broke my heart. So much destroyed that will never come back.

It’s amazing that we just visited NOLA and the Gulf Coast in April and I am so sad to see what mother nature has done yet again - but like you, I looked at our vacation photos last night and smiled and thought how very lucky we were to have the experience.

You’re right, neither Camille, nor Katrina, nor Isaac can erase those moments of time in the 50’s and 60’s, those winter days on the gulf coast, those cool gulf breezes on the golf course, and that wonderful southern hospitality. It reminds me of the lyrics that mom, dad and I wrote to Bob Hope’s famous tune:<br />"Thanks for the memories, of rainy afternoons, shots in the lagoons, the callused hands, the burning feet, heels blistered like balloons.... how lovely it was”<br />I might add, the long walks on the pier, swimming with the jellyfish, and of course, building castles in the sand. Thanks sis! Glad you were there with me, that made it fun...even if I was the annoying kid sister.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17070174619663726511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7852702753078267542.post-84671777300726437372012-08-28T17:35:58.213-05:002012-08-28T17:35:58.213-05:00So sad not to be able to find the places from he p...So sad not to be able to find the places from he past, yet the precious memories live on!Debi Ellisnoreply@blogger.com
