Countdown to Election Day - you decide

Gulf Shores, Alabama

We had a wonderful time in Alabama! The accommodations were fantastic and the gulf is a gorgeous clear blue-green with white beaches. Along for the ride was Me, Mom, Aunt Madge and Aunt Ethel. Tommy and Joyce came over from Metairie, Louisiana and stayed 3 nights. Later in the week Patty, Lynette and Lara came down from Louisville, Kentucky and stayed 3 nights too.

A Must Read - The Story of Edgar Sawtelle

We stopped at the local Wal-Mart in Alabama before going on down to the gulf shore. I wanted to get a new book to read on the beach. Oh, did I ever pick a winner! This book is one of the best books I have ever read. I could not put it down. This is not a fast-reading book. You want to take your time and savor every word. It is so well written it blew me away. I would rank this book up against any of John Steinbeck, Ernest Hemingway or Colleen McCullough's works. This book was fantastic!
