Hi Friends!
Would you like to win THIS Vera Bradley Beach Bag & matching towel (It’s the blue one “Cuban Tiles” … for some reason the link goes to another pattern, but it’s the one you see in the pics on this post!)
We’re giving this away on Tuesday, May 30th. To enter, you’ll need to do 2 things:
- Subscribe to our blog.
- Comment on this blog post & tell us the last beach that you visited. We’re nosy like that! ha!
While Memorial Day is the official/unofficial? kick-off to Summer & becomes a long weekend for most of us, it is not lost on me the significance of this holiday. So, a huge THANK YOU to those who have served our country. Some truly have given all; and we know – for sure – that freedom isn’t free. I have huge respect for all service men and women. And I remember and honor the ones who have sacrificed for the freedoms I enjoy today.
And one more quick note… Happy Anniversary to my husband Pete! We’ve been married 27 years today! We’re old.

Have a great weekend, y’all!

I love that that being interested in the bag brought me to this amazing blog. I listen to the Morning Cruise every morning and I guess I didn’t realize this was totally separate. God bless you for all the wonderful work that you do Carmen !! Oh yeah the last beach that I visited with Amelia Island in 2012 when my now deceased nephew Jason got married. . I now realize I’m overdue!!!♡♡♡♡

Last beach I visited was Hudson Beach. It is a small unincorporated beach community, west of U.S. Route 19 in Pasco County, Florida. It was a farewell celebration to my cousin Tony who died unexpectedly at the age of 40.

We were married on Tybee Island, off the coast of Savannah in 2007. We have not been able to go back for several years.
