Oil, Oil, Please Stay Away

Yesterday we decided to ride out to the beach late in the afternoon to just sit, have a picnic, and watch the sun go down over the Gulf of Mexico. We watched families playing in the water, people fishing, others walking or jogging, and fish jumping. We watched the shorebirds trying to find their last meal of the day. It was hard to believe that just 30-40 miles offshore there are thousands of gallons of oil floating in the Gulf of Mexico. Man can really mess up God's beautiful creation, but we're hoping and praying the oil stays away from our gorgeous emerald coast.

    So hard to imagine...we Americans certainly love our benefits of oil but don't think about the risks...certainly praying that they find a fix for the problem..sooner than later.

    A very pretty beach area. This oil business is getting out of hand really fast. It is going to affect all the coast lines if they do not get it stopped. I have questions on how this really happened in the first place.

    I just returned from a month in New Orleans. Oh, my! The Florida Gulf Coast is my favorite vacation spot. Let's hope.
