Hello! I am a native Texan so I relate to DD and Miss Kitty and their metroplex tales. Went to college in Huntsville, TX (GO BEARCATS!) and have worked in hospital laboratories for 26+ years.

I first saw the white beaches of Destin in the 70's, went back with my husband in the 90's, then off and on for 15 years. Spent a week in '06 and '07 in BMB and will never stay anywhere except SOWAL again!

Enjoy lurking on this forum- it is like my own personal soap opera that doesn't involve work.

I do swim, now live on a lake in East Texas, but hate to get wet (strange for a Pisces). Am applying for my first passport so I can visit London with my sister in September.

No idea when I will get back to 30-A bu I live vicariously through all of your adventures.

I love beaches, happy hour, tennis and sushi.
Huge lab lover. Hope to get a puppy or a rescue lab once I am completely settled.
Don't really know too many people yet but hope to soon.

Got three Grand-babies and love em like crazy. Quiet, conservative outdoorsy folk who love seafood and the sun. Hope to meet some of you. Way cool site!!

:welcome: What did y'all do in Largo? Curious as to why you moved here from Key paradise and how the 2 places compare in your mind.

Absolutely the right place. Seeing the little lady as happy as she is says it all for me. I've been here two years now and she just joined me last July. We were waiting for our last to head off to college and make us empty-nesters and she stayed in MN while I got things going here.

Was introduced to SoWal 4 years ago and try to come down at least once a year. I'm a Stay at home mother of wonderful (and energetic twin 2 1/2 year old boys). Before children I was a Speech Language Pathologist and then a HR Director.

I'm an avid sports fan, Nebraska Cornhuskers (live there), Chicago Cubs and our college hockey team. Like to play the occasional round of golf.

Mostly I love visiting 30A and sitting on the beach with a cool cocktail:cool:

Love this thread, it's great getting to know you all better.

First got sent here by a drama teacher and friend that gave me a heads up on the Blithe Spirit debacle at SWHS. Spoke with a few really nice, intelligent people who answered my call for comments. That story really made the rounds through the district. Had teachers from everywhere asking me about it at the district event last month.

Then started reading the other threads and thought what a cool group of well read, diverse and informed people. Got hooked.

I've been a nurse for over 15 years, then a social worker and now a writer for a small town independent paper.

Now I need someone to stage an intervention for me and my sowal addiction.:cool:

My story is pretty close to aleonard's. I lurked for a while, but once I heard about the Blithe Spirit thread, I couldn't keep quiet any longer.

And now you guys are stuck with me. :D

Key Largo was alot of fun. My boyf and I worked at a private resort. Key Largo has no beach scene because of the coral reef surrounding the island. If we could transplant all of our friends from down there to these parts life would be perfect. So far we are definitely loving it here.

We moved here because I was offered a better paying job :D

Stuck in a good way. You are such a breath of fresh air. The Blithe Spirit mess at school was truly the pits, but I have to say that I met some great people and made more new friends. And now look where we are!:clap: I think we really came out ahead!

TGIF Kase!!!:D
