Valentines
Submitted by My Garden Spot Blog
’Pup surprised me last night. No, he didn’t buy me jewelry , which is just as well, as I’d rather spend money on something else. Instead he proposed a…mini second honeymoon.
I’m going to have to think about it. He suggested going back to where we’d had part of our original honeymoon, but I think I’d rather go somewhere else. I’m thinking that I’d like to go somewhere a little closer to home and where there might be more to do…sightseeing, dining out.. those kind of things.
I’m thinking it might be time to pay a visit to Kemah. It was terribly damaged during Ike, but it’s slowly rebuilding and a couple of weeks ago, it started advertising that it was “back”. We’ve never been down there, as a lot of the activities were geared towards families, but I think, it’s time we went down there and help the recovery by doing what the area was built for…tourism.
Galveston and many of the coastal communities aren’t anywhere close to being rebuilt enough to be classified as recovered. Even this far north and west of the coast, we still have blue tarped roofs waiting for insurance checks and roofing contractors. There are even quite a few signs up here that aren’t repaired, and fences still down or in dire need of repair. Things are happening, but it’s going to take some time.
Meanwhile, I think it might be a good thing to support what HAS been recovered. Time to go to Galveston, Kemah and anywhere else who says “come on back”, and help them celebrate their survival.
See ya on the coast.
