Ash Wednesday. The beginning.

As today is the start of Lent, consider this part of my Lenten Observance. Galveston put on quite a show over the last two weekends culminating in the last parade last night. The Krewe of Aquaris presented the 16th Annual "We end what we begin" parade at 6:30. Galveston, being an odd city with lots of social people, was out in force on Postoffice Street. We had 2 parties on Postoffice to attend, and didn't make it from one to the other. We threw beads and caught beads. I made sure the marching bands and drill teams got the ones I caught. Then of course, it was off to the the 3rd Coast on Seawall for drinks and pizza. Home by 10something. Reading blogs and about blogging since about 7 am this morning. My goal is to help you understand what a warm and lovely place this little Island is. What makes us tick. Why we live here. I will also provide information about the Galveston Real Estate Market and houses I have previewed. My friend and teacher Karen Derr always asks "What's the shiny penny?" I intend to find the most interesting properties and post them for you as they show up on the market.
This may prove an interesting experiment- I hope you find something about it appealing. We'll see as the days go on.
