September is here!

We’ve had some of the hottest days this year, but I must admit, I’ve really enjoyed it!  And as September creeps in, I can’t help but look back on everything I’ve done this summer.  Surprisingly, I didn’t incorporate a big vacation into the plans this year; as a matter of fact, it’s been the “little things” that have made my summer one of the best!

With that said, what have you done at Spanish Fort Town Center this summer? Did you give your room a makeover? Did you add more colors into your wardrobe?  Have you been to any concerts along the gulf (there have been plenty of those!)?

There are other things that really make summertime a special time, like:

• Making fresh lemonade.
• Eating watermelon.
• Taking a swim at the pool.
• Barbecues!!!
• Summer holidays and festivals (Memorial Day, 4th of July, etc.)
• Beautiful flowers.

These are a few of mine.

What will you miss about summer?

Spanish Fort residents can now enjoy the beauty of  fresh water foods; fishermen can get back to doing what they love, too.

When I was younger, my dad use to take me fishing with him.  He was a shrimp lover, so we would always head down to Fort Morgan Peninsula; there, he would catch all the shrimp he could to sell.  But there never seemed to be any fun in catching shrimp.  Later, we would come back and would stop again; only this time, we would be fishing.  Normally, I’d catch at least one!

But I’m definitely glad that the land is being restored! It’s not completely, but it’s a step toward perfection again!

Are you ready for delicious shrimp and fish again?

I’m so glad to live in Spanish Fort!!!

Not only is it a great city to live in, but it’s very close to Mobile, Alabama.  On August 28, native artist Will Kimbrough will be the kickoff performance for a series of upcoming fundraisers. Kimbrough has been featured on some of Jimmy Buffet’s songs… and if Jimmy likes him, then we all like him!  This concert will benefit the Centre for the Living Arts.

Attendance is limited, though! So get your tickets ASAP!

Tickets for Centre for the Living Arts’ members are $32 each and $42 for nonmembers.

Space 301’s Terrace Bar will also open around 6:30 p.m. for this exciting event. Music will start around 8:00 p.m.!

Realsimple.com is throwing a contest!

Now I know that you would normally hide a mess from guests, but you might want to show it off this time.  All you have to do is email them letting them know which area of your place  is the most messiest and why.  Then send a couple of photos in.  If your place is selected, you’ll get a room makeover that will be featured in the next issue of Real Simple magazine!

You can visit the site for details. If there was one room in my home that I would give the “messy award,” it would definitely be my bedroom.  If I clean it today, I guarantee it’ll be untidy again in two days!  Could it be because I’m in a rush in the morning time for work?  Hmmm…..

Good luck! And if you’re chosen, be sure to let your friends at the Spanish Fort office know so we can congratulate you!
