That's awesome.<br /><br />Congrats on adopting another little boy. Your heart is truly bigger than the sea!

I'd love a seaside week! Those moments as a whole family are so precious and I'm glad you were able to enjoy. <br /><br />Love that you're going to give Ollie a chance to tell his story! Good luck working with him :)Jemi Fraserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02214408467456320167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8330050452367423981.post-60092063963893866312013-08-04T20:45:33.019-04:002013-08-04T20:45:33.019-04:00Hey D.G, having lived on the Gulf as a little one,...Hey D.G, having lived on the Gulf as a little one, the water is a bit more tranquil, explaining why the surfers stay east, (but us writers stay west, or in your case, the Keys.) Love it there!<br /><br />Hey Crafter, thanks so much, he's been with us since he was four days old...our fingers are crossed ;)<br /><br />Hey Roland, thanks for your kind words. And yes, Ollie is shaping up to be the most interesting character I've meddled with in quite some time.<br /><br />Hey Anne, I could frame your comment and hang it over my desk. Couldn't agree more!<br /><br />Hey Jemina, such kind words, thank you!<br /><br />Hey Donna, I fear Ollie is one of those characters who will continue to nag until his story is told, regardless of my schedule. But then, those are probably the one's whose stories are read the most ;)<br /><br />El<br /><br />Elliot Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06319271528871804399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8330050452367423981.post-33291643278292191782013-08-04T16:31:00.190-04:002013-08-04T16:31:00.190-04:00VHS rentals still?

On the Atlantic side, the ocean air has a salty tang.<br /><br />Haven't been to the west side of Florida yet, but have been to the Dry Tortugas 70 miles off Key West, so I've only seen the Gulf, not the Gulf coast.<br /><br />Good luck with that idea, keep feeding it.D.G.
