Introduce Yourself

Today, 03:50 AM

Kurt, Going to bed or getting up?

My name is Colin Butler and Im 38 years old and live in Memphis, Tn. with my wife Sheryl and our 2 year old little boy Myles. Im a residential real estate appraiser and I work for myself. I was in a band called Big Ass Truck for about 10 years and traveled the country many times playing in all kinds of places and venues. Free beer, fast food and living out of a van eventually got old and we quit while were ahead and all still friends in 2001. I have been coming down to the gulf coast mostly in the Summer since I can remember. We used to camp out of my dads VW bus at the Holiday Camping area down in Destin and there is really nothing worse than waking up at age 10 or so with a killer sunburn in a tent. Anyway, things have changed for sure, as my dad remarried and they own a house down in Inlet Beach. There is truly nothing more relaxing to me than laying in the sand with a cold beer staring at the waves or chasing my little boy down the beach. We/I try and make it down 3-4 times a year and I will be heading that way in early April. Ive seen may beaches in my travels in the U.S. and the Emerald Coast is by far the most beautiful. Always looking forward to it.

By the way anyone haveany information on a development caled Bungalows of Seagrove? Thanks

I have a close friend now renting one, and she is closing on another one on March 15th. PM me and I will give you her information, she could be more than helpful with good info. on that community.

My name is Sandy and I am looking forward to making friends with some of the nice people on this site.

Love to talk about cooking, and sometimes maybe a little politics.

Does anyone know where there is a good place locally to buy organic vegetables?

Welcome Sandy! I think there was a thread about organic vegetables - try a search of the forum. I'm ignorant on the subject.

I have been wracking my brain trying to figure out what could possibly be the difference between organic eggs and regular.

To ease your search include the word "toni".

Yes I snaged that name when my husband was over in Iraq in 2003. He has since served his 20 years in the Airforce and retired. He retired as a tech sarg.

Hi Everyone,

I just found this site a few days ago, and wanted to post a ?hello, nice to meet you? and introduce myself. I?m an Atlanta native and current resident, but did live for a short period of time in Crestone, CO and Lakeland, FL. In ?91 I married my high school sweetheart. We have one kid (boy 5). I love camping, hiking, organic gardening, reading, and I am a newbie aquarist. I am a flower child that was born too late (?71). But that hasn?t stopped me from being a conscious-minded, free thinker. My musical interests are wide and varied (rock to tech-fusion). But I especially love the Grateful Dead, Rush, and Jack Johnson.

I visited your area for the first time last September and fell in love with the place. It is sort of a fluke that I found it. I stumbled across it during a Google search for ?best beaches.? I?m the kind of person that goes where my heart leads, and decided to come for a visit. It was the best vacation I ever had. The community and the people I met are one of a kind. I appreciate not being made to feel like I was an invader. I plan to come for another visit in May. I think this is one of the best places I have ever been. In an effort to keep it that way, I plan to keep it a secret. As far as anyone else is concerned I am visiting Disney World.

flower-child You sound like a fuNN kinda person!

flower-child! Come whenever you can!

Hey, LeannC! My older, wiser brother just moved to L'ville from Raleigh; he works at the Med Center in pulmonary research. He takes great pics when he visits here.

Everyone.....I like seeing new peeps on the board!!!

Last week we were in Grayton Beach. I walked just west of the dunes and the lake water was red spilling into the gulf. What causes this?

Someone's nice Bordeaux? :shock:

The red color is from tannins leached into the lake water from organic materials. (generally from leaf litter) It is not harmful to humans but causes poor visibility within the lakes.

Nice Bordeaux got just the right amount of tannins!

True that!

Wouldn't be the first time I went swimming in wine.

Greetings from under the snow in Canada! What a beautiful and special vacation spot this is for us! We have made Blue Mountain Beach an annual trip for our family, even getting married on the beach last year!! This community is so special to us and one day we hope to make It our home. For now, we rent glorious vacation homes for 2 weeks a year and pretend like we are locals, amazed at the laid back and friendly southern hospitality that this amazing place provides us with each time we visit. I am so happy to have found this board so that I can still feel connected even though I am not there. To the locals, you are truly blessed to be able to call this place your home!
