When I see something like this happen to our beautiful oceans, it not only breaks my heart, but makes me really angry. I hope they get this contained soon.<br /><br />Cheers!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17543970298023632438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4469698968927427119.post-61429579199647348612010-06-17T22:44:40.365-05:002010-06-17T22:44:40.365-05:00Jodi,

Take care of yourself. Sun burns like that can really be serious. OUCH! Try alo vera too. Have a great weekend.<br />CharleneCharlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07371413656909981870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4469698968927427119.post-10238227560637562152010-06-17T20:49:27.277-05:002010-06-17T20:49:27.277-05:00I have been burned at the beach more often than I ...I have been burned at the beach more often than I care to remember. No fun and lots of brown spots now years later. But you girls had fun in spite of that sunburn. The oil pictures are truly heart wrenching. That area has been our vacation destination for years. We don't know the magnitude of the devistation from this "accident". So very sad.<br />Thanks for the comments on my clean up. It sounds better that the actual result. I have visited the Goodwill the past few days and almost bought something that I realized I had brought to them. That is sick isn't it. Sick, Sick, Sick... Anyway, I'll see your space this weekend it will be fun.<br />DebbieMosaic Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08715004978582753127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4469698968927427119.post-10608148194055101532010-06-17T00:55:40.461-05:002010-06-17T00:55:40.461-05:00Hi Jodie,

I loved it. He is grieving. I was so sad I didn't realize it before he told me. His family has had a place there forever and he feels the loss like someone died. It is almost like someone did, isn't it? Certainly memories, animals, beauty, innocence...and I am sure I am not in tune with much of it.<br />Hugs,<br />SuzKateyedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17368144927684071127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4469698968927427119.post-79652165370042714962010-06-15T23:02:33.746-05:002010-06-15T23:02:33.746-05:00What a heartspoken post Jodie, I am so glad you al...What a heartspoken post Jodie, I am so glad you all still went and enjoyed yourselves... what a fun group of you!

The situation is heartbreaking.<br /><br />Now, I'm gonna share my sunburn story and leave ya laughing you a### off! The last time DH & I went to Cancun (my fave vacation destination), I had the brilliant idea to take advantage of the free windsurfing lessons from the hotel (& I use this term VERY loosly, but that's another story). Lessons started at 10am when the sun is at its absolute hottest. I slathered waterproof 45spf on my totally white girl body and proceeded to stand in waist-deep water for about an hour. Then it was time to get up on this thing & take her for a spin. I was quite good at it and was out there for another hour. Then we went back to the room to get ready for dinner. When the shower hit my skin I just about died! From my hips to the tops of my feet, I was flaming! DH had to go to the "pharmacia" to get me 10% hydrocortisone! Thank goodness I had brought a long flowy silk dress to cover my flamers! But, it felt like knives were cutting them all night long. Moral of this story, waterproof or not, REAPPLY, REAPPLY, REAPPLY!!Sandy Navarrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06773984577171029414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4469698968927427119.post-54311293162564776382010-06-15T20:50:00.455-05:002010-06-15T20:50:00.455-05:00The oil makes me so sad.

It is so sad to see the toll that the oil spill has taken on all the surrounding Gulf states. I don't even know why we say it's a spill. It is a major disaster than none of us can even truly comprehend. Just the thought of all that oil gushing into the sea is just mind boggling and disgusting. So sorry to hear about your sunburn. I've had that purple kinda burn before and it is NOOOOOOO fun at all. I will never, ever do that again. In fact, my body is rather sunphobic now. I break out in an itchy scabby rash if I stay out in the sun, so I just don't even do it anymore. Glad to hear you are back home, getting caught up. Goodness gracious girl -- not much longer and you'll be off on your Cowgirl adventure. Best wishes to you! Have a great rest of the week.

Glad you're healing from your sunburn - I've had far too many over the years, and only since we've had our pool, where it doesn't really happen to me anymore. <br /><br />I really, REALLY, appreciated your honesty in sharing about the oil spill - as yes, I've been so curious as to what's really happening. It's heartbreaking. I love the Gulf coast, and share similar feelings. I really have no words for how devastating this is. <br /><br />Love, Linda♥Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03241010459789159870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4469698968927427119.post-79625536587091892762010-06-15T06:54:10.825-05:002010-06-15T06:54:10.825-05:00Jodie,

To see those white beaches & think my babies may never see the magnificence hurts me. Before I even had kids I dreamed of the day I would take them to Destin, Gulf Shores or where ever & watch them dig in the sand & play in the waves like I did. How many trips have I taken with friends & family to the coast over the years? My senior trip, 10 days of craziness is one that I'll never forget. It truly gave me chills to see the pic with the empty pool. Girl, you really brought the disaster home for us, thank you to you & your GG girls for supporting them like that. You are one in a million. Gotta go explain to the kids why Mommy is sad. Love ya, see ya soon.
