Hi Friends,

I hope everyone had a 2025 Independence Day blast?

We did the whole 4th of July thing...and managed to survive with some hearing in tact. Have fireworks always been that loud?

One reason we attended a beach club extravaganza was to meet people, which we did, thankfully. But an unexpected highlight was spending time at the party with friends from Atlanta. Oh well. Familiarity is easier. We're old and appreciate easy. At least I do.

Long Point 4th of July — Long Point Golf Course transformed into a food and music fest.

Fireworks — Specatular show. Albeit too loud.

With #249th celebration behind us, I keep wondering who my first girlfriend(s) will be to our Florida home. Sharing is our favorite thing to do. I’ve never been a “girls weekend” kind of gal but I do want a friend or two to visit the beach-blessing that Jeff and I call a get-away pad.

But here’s the thing (fear?): I’ve talked this place up too much? Perhaps you’ll think, Meh, not as cool as she makes it out to be? Nice, but not that nice.

It's a four-four but the fourth bedroom is a bunk room with a young person’s theme and the bath (full) is also the house guest-bath. The lower bunks (probably top too, haven't been up there) are very comfortable. Jeff and I lounge on them from time to time. It's cute but as mentioned, it's a kids room, per se.

Upstairs, the front guest room looks out over a pool and boasts lovely sunsets. The front guest room has an ocean view with, if you're lucky, amazing sunrises!!

How can you determine if someone is exaggerating, over-selling?

You gotta see for yourself! And that’s what I hope you will do, soon. I truly am anxious to know who my first girl guest will be.
