Debbie, glad you liked the article's decoration. :)
I'd never heard of Sarasota, so I've just looked it up on the web (how did we ever survive without the web?!). It looks gorgeous! Florida is one of those places I've dreamed of visiting one day, so thanks for giving me a more specific destination!
Denise, I'd *love* to visit Hawaii! Though all your beaches sound exotic to me, so the Mid-Atlantic would be a real treat to visit as well. I'll have to add them to my bucket list!
Peggy, hugs for your loss. I completely understand losing the joy in things like visiting the beach for a while, but it sounds like the calming waves might be nice for you. I hope you get a chance before the weather turns cold!
