Our summer has been great, but it’s not too late to enjoy that last-minute getaway to the beach. The weather and the Gulf are both nice, warm, and relaxing, not to mention the sunsets are the best this time of year. With kids starting back to school, you can have the beach all to yourself. Make plans and come join us.
Many of our vacation rentals are offering last-minute deals and fall specials.

Wisdom for (and about) Women
We received some nice feedback from last month’s lady definitions, so we decided to stick with the theme for this month.
|
| |
 |
You can tell a lot about a woman by her hands. For instance, if they’re placed around your throat, she’s probably slightly upset.
A woman has only two basic problems. The first is what to wear and the second is lack of room for her clothes.
Behind every great man is a woman rolling her eyes.
When a woman says “what” it’s not because she didn’t hear you. She’s giving you a chance to change what you just said.
Someday they’re going to call me “Ma’am” without adding “you’re making a scene.”
Some women hold up dresses that are ugly and always say the same thing: “This dress looks much better on.” On what? On fire?
When a woman acts like a man, she doesn’t act like a nice man.
For all the men who say “a woman’s place is in the kitchen,” remember that’s where the knives are kept.
For most of history, Anonymous was a woman.
A wise man once said, “I don’t know; ask a woman.”
