That last trip, I stood in front on the Empress Hotel and looked in the window at Anita Mae Draperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16618699900826731377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-29144979568554356872011-02-18T17:41:18.246-05:002011-02-18T17:41:18.246-05:00We had lots of new 'beaches' here today.

I so severely missed my walks on the bluff. It truly made me sad. So for my spiritual time, I would go to the beach and sit and listen to my music.

I was so sad about not being able to walk there anymore, but now when I think about it, I think about all the amazing things I saw there and I feel blessed. I saw whales!
