RT – Castles in the Sand

Posted on April 20, 2009 by Judi

I may move to Florida.

Yes, this is  a major departure for me. For those of you who know me, you know how much I hate: A)heat, B)sweating and C)bugs. Florida has all three.

But if I could live here, I might change my mind.

My friend who lives here says tht this place was  built by a businessman for he and his wife. The guest house is here:

Of course I had to go to the beach. This is similar to the setting for book 3, Catch of  a Lifetime:

And don’t forget to leave a comment to have a chance to win a mermaid cell phone charm and if you have a friend comment AND leave your name, you’ll have more chances to win.

    I’m assuming you got the round tower room thing? LOL! Yes, I just showed this picture to hubs and told him I want him to build a house just like this one (well, yeah, the first one, but I’ll settle for the second one!) Looks fabulous!

    Well, if you’re moving there, I’m inviting myself to visit you often. I’m thinking extended stay privileges, that’s what I’m thinking. I’m sure you won’t mind. :-)

    Wow, amazing pix! Seriously, I feel like I just had a virtual vacation. Pina colada anyone?

    Judi, now I know why writers want to be writers. SO they can go to places like that.

    Have fun (like I’m worried).

    Wow, the best gosh darn castle I have ever seen, and that includes 19th century castles in Toronto and Gloucester, Mass. Wow.

    She lives HERE!? Is this a bed and breakfast or a private residence? Holy Cow. Hell Yah, it livable!

    Nice guest house. Um, Judi, please, don’t leave a glass slipper on those steps….

    How you suffer for the craft Judi. So noble. Though the castle is nice, your place looks charming and fun. Can I have a swim?

    *Ooh…over her with the pina coladas please.

    Here…not her. Ignore my Bendryl ravings.

    Wow, what a beautiful place. I want to be a mermaid! Or at least play like one on that beach!

    Beautiful place! It’s hot here, but not nearly as beautiful.

    Judi, it’s hard work, but someone’s got to do it. FL at this time of year can be a real treat. Great pictures for those of us who are drooling over them from our offices.

    Can I carry your bag for you, Judi, as you research your books? I’ll sharpen your pencils or keep your laptop charged.

    Glad to see you got a day or so to breathe before diving in.
