Beach Drive Holiday Homes

If you see someone driving around and taking photos of your home that is decked out for the holidays…it could be the us, the Beach Drive Bloggers.   You could make it easy on us and take a photo of your beautiful home and email it or post it on our Facebook page.   Then we'll share the photos here.   Thanks!

Here's another Beach Drive home that is all lit up for the holidays.

Mud Slide at 6200 Beach Drive

Beach Drive is closed to all traffic around the 6200 block.  This is the same area that has experienced mud slides before (below Atlas).  Here's our post from the mudslide in this area back in December 2007.

As we were taking these photos, you could hear snapping and popping of trees.

Update 6:20 pm:  Beach Drive is now closed at Jacobson heading south towards the slide.

Friday’s Beautiful Sunset is Dedicated to my Dad

I'm sorry I haven't been posting much lately.   My Dad passed away on Friday afternoon.  My sisters and I were on our deck watching the sunset when a dozen red roses tied in a gold bow appeared.

The moment after the sun set, the phone rang and it was a nurse telling us that our Dad had peacefully passed away.   Dad was 64 and had been battling various health issues including progressive lymphoma (skin cancer).

Rest in Peace, Dad.

I love this time of year and posting photos of homes that are decorated to celebrate the season, friends and family.   Please email me photos of Beach Drive neighborhood homes decked out for the holidays and I will get them posted.
