My View of Life on the Dock

Another fun Holiday event at the Magnolia Library on Sunday. Mrs. Claus and Santa arrived to cheers of kids of all ages.

Rest in Peace Peter Frates, we all did the Ice Bucket Challenge for Pete Frates and finding a cure for ALS.

Very pretty sunrise on Sunday morning. Took this from our bedroom. Feeling blessed.

A couple of photos from Monday as it was blowing, high tides, and rain. You can see from the Magnolia Pier photo that making the pier 2 feet higher it will protect our beloved pier. The waves off Kettle Island were very impressive.
