While I’m away…

Next week I should be back to normal hours in the studio and normal posting. As some of you know, my husband had to have a partial amputation of his foot this week. I’m not able to leave his side for very long at a time and that makes going to the studio next to impossible. I’m hoping by next week I will be able to steal a few hours here and there and get some new pieces created.

In the meantime, I have a wonderful site for you to go visit. I know you hear me talking about the “Emerald Coast” in many of my posts. It is my ultimate goal to live there in the near future. I have always been a Texas girl and I once thought I would live here forever. WRONG! After visiting the Destin, Florida area two years ago I have never been the same. I never imagined seeing water so blue and sand so white and people so nice!  It is nearly surreal. The area is as close to paradise as  possible here on earth. In my search for a way to stay close to Destin until I could get back, I found a wonderful website that every two weeks has a new podcast with all the sites, sounds and happenings around Destin. Its creator Harley Van Hyning is just awesome. He has the innate ability to bring Destin to you where you feel you are there. His insights into the happenings in the area are whimsical at times and he always brings a smile to my  face. On top of all this, he features local musicians. His podcast is a refreshing ocean breeze on those days when life has got the best of you. Please take time to check his website and podcast. You won’t regret it. There is a permanent link to his website under my Blogroll on the right.

(The above picture is one from my first vacation in Destin. I wanted you to see how beautiful and clear the water is and you don’t have to travel to the tropics to find paradise.)

I hate to cut this post short, but I have to attend to my darling hubby. I will see you soon!
