I hope everyone had a great holiday season. Ours was wonderful as we got to spend time with two of our granddaughters and our son. 2018 is gearing up to be a busy year here on the Forgotten Coast. The number of visitors during the winter months continues to grow year after year. Even though the weather has been a little too chilly for my tastes, it is definitely better than most areas of the country.
