Coastal Commentaries

Yes, it’s been awhile since I’ve been here. What can I say, this southern belle has been busy trying to eek out a few bucks to survive on (btw, 2009 calendar is once again for sale at Coastal Designs. Toward the end of the year, I will be putting together another calendar for the 2010 season. And, if you are so inclined….visit my zazzle site at Southern Expressions.)

But enough of that. Living in Cape Canaveral has been tough on many folks because of the economy, to say the least. This is a town that has relied heavily on the space program. And while Pres. Obama says he will try to continue the space program at least another year or so, everything is up in the air. Believe me, this area needs it. We rely a lot on tourism, but with the economy as bad as it is, tourism is kind of at a low point now.

so, without further ado…here are a few photos I snapped of the Atlantis launch from my (yes) balcony.

Yep, we even managed a game of wiffle ball! Hell yeah! (I was on first)

I’m thrilled with my new domain name. While the old site may be gone with the wind (hey, I’m a southern belle, what did you expect?) I will still be bringing you lots of beautiful photography as well as commentary on what it’s like to live in a coastal town. Not only that, but I have a cool new feature coming up: a video series called “Road Trippin’ with LA and Mr. Jamaica.” In it we will visit different places around the area and you’re invited to come along with us. We’re editing video as fast as we can.

So stay tuned and come back often, ya hear!

As you can see, I’ve switched domain names and got one to match my blog name. Yay me! I’m still in the process of switching it all over, so bare with me. I’m typing and posting as fast as I can!
