How/Why did you first find SoWal.com?

CCK:

I knew of graytonbeach.com because of the virtual tours. When Ivan hit, I went to the message board for the first time. You, Kurt, and Joe were so helpful checking on everyone's properties which was wonderful. Then I came down to Florida and checked on properties of some friends as well a few days after Ivan. I love this board for useful and interesting information. And it makes me feel warm when our temperatures are in the 20s and snowing in Michigan (like today... and I was at Seacrest Beach on Monday when it must have been about 80!).

It was a bit chilly today after the sun went down. I guess I'm a true Floridian now because 60 degrees feels cold!

I found it earlier this year right after Dennis when I was rather frantic about what the beach looked like and whether we could even get onto the beach. I'd had a really difficult year at my work--I really needed to go to the beach and not encounter problems. Thank goodness, the BB was filled such nice and friendly people and extraordinary (and quickly offered) information. Like many of you, I was hooked, and, I've continued to log in and check out the various discussions and the photographs are stunning (and genuinely therapeutic on really bad days!). Like Paula--it also makes me feel warmer somehow even tho I'm in upstate NY where the weather people are predicting snow. brrrr!!!

I did have a great time in SoWal last Thursday through this past Monday. When I got back to Michigan late Monday night, I felt so cold here compared to SoWal that I went and had one of those car starters installed for my car so that I'll be able to get into a warm car on these cold days between now and May! It snowed a little bit on Thursday here. Can't wait to get back to SoWal between Christmas and New Years -- even if it's only in the 60s, I'll be a happy camper. When it's cool in SoWal, I still like to sit on the porch under a nice quilt and read a good book (can't do that in the winter in Michigan).

Well, at least you came home to a whole thread full of birthday greetings! :clap_1:

Hey SGL I'm trying to catch up! I only post about 1 night a week now, & it takes me an hour just to find out what's been going on!


Maybe I can find a new job where I can post during the day again :idea:
