A boat out in the middle of a field, not yet claimed. One of the many signs of the storm. Living in Houston, this picture is a recognizable sign that we saw daily on the news and in the papers.
Birds.
Jason, aka my beautiful husband.
Us.Jason was so sweet and took me to the beach yesterday. We went early so we could go walk down The Strand and drive around to see the clean up progress from Hurricane Ike. I have to say, everything looked really good. Being down only three weeks before Ike hit though, you can really see the devastation that has been the result. When we were down there last August, we walked down the sea wall in all the shops that now are nowhere to be seen; gone. That was really heartbreaking to think about because that was some one's life, their livelihood. But, on the up side, there is rebuilding, repainting, and hope very visible on the island. We sat out on the beach while I read and believe or not Jason chilled. Jason never chills. He has to be moving at all times, so it was really nice to catch up on some reading and not feel guilty. The beach was so clean and for a Tuesday rather busy. Afterwards, we ate at The Rainforest Cafe which I love. It was wonderful spending the day with my awesome husband, but also nice to see Galveston in this time of rebirth.
Note: When the sun moves, make sure you readjust yourself under the umbrella so you do not get sunburned on ONE side. Just FYI for those of us who tend to not pay attention to those types of things. My right side is a nice shade of pink. :)
