Our local post makes monthly visits to William F. Green State Veterans Home however since Covid we are limited to bringing a truck load of snacks, sodas and some other essentials. We also have some fun along the way, which helps with a little income to support our post activities including cookouts, live music and bingo nights and more. It's a great group of men and women and their families who care and want to be of service.

This past weekend was a bad experience in that a couple of younger adults (20-30) were extremely racist and condescending that it threw me off guard. Outside of that, the pool and gym are always open early and close late, there is a guard on duties to ensure safety, and it is EXTREMELY close of a distance to the beach.

Yesterday we were invited to participate in a turtle release, on our section of beach, where our…read more"Share The Beach" volunteer crew does sunrise patrols from May through August. We look for turtle nests, mark and monitor then we count 55 days then return there to nest sit, awaiting the hatchlings to make sure they make it safely down the beach to their life journey. We do that until the very last turtle is welcomed to the world. But yesterday was a rare chance to participate in a rehab release. This female laggerhead turtle's ordeal began this July just down the beach at the Gulf State pier. She had swallowed a fishing hook, and since they breathe through their trachea, required medical attention. Park officers and good Samaritans worked together to her ashore and contact the appropriate folks. Apparently she has hard some tough encounters in her life, she was missing a flipper and her shell was damaged by her tail. She was quickly transported to The Institute for Marine Mammal Studies in Gulfport, MS where she got the care she needed to bounce back from her latest trauma. They named her Sequoia, put a chip in her and tagged her so her progress and travels can be monitored. Just 32 days later she was brought back to our Gulf Shores beach so should be released and put back on her journey, and we were there!! She was transported from the main road via a golf cart and she was greeted by all of us who lined a path for her, like a runway, for her last steps on the beach before swimming away. Her crawl is slow, because of the missing front flipper, but once she gets out into the surf there was nothing slow about her :-) She sped off while to applause and well wishes and hopes that she continues to thrive wherever she goes, and maybe, just maybe, we might see her again when it's the me to lay her eggs in the future. Thank you to each and every person who contributed to saving her and making this day possible. Bottom line: Sea turtles are majestic and gentle animals whose population is finally rebounding and it was a really awesome opportunity to help Sequoia go home!!

SBF has origins dating back to 2005 but Alabama Coastal Foundation (ACF) became its official home in 2018. ACF is really a great group that focuses on coastal conservation issues. They're committed to addressing priority environmental issues throughout the region to preserve and protect our coastal way of life.​ I've lived on and around Cape Cod, MA, southern CA, and now retired on the AL Gulf Coast, and as a scuba diver, sailor, fisherman, and beach lover so coastline, as well as animal preservation is a really big deal for me, too. ACF has forged partnerships and alliances between business, government, and environmental leaders that work together on a variety of projects from recycling, sustainabliy, to water quality issues, restoration and of course, sea turtles. Education plays a big role in what they do, just like the event we hosted yesterday, at a local coastal restaurant, sharing with parents and their children all about sea turtles. They also have educational programs that connects students that interest, inform and inspire these future generations of leaders. Cool! I can highly recommend a great children's book written by one of my fellow volunteers, Linda Spangrud, "Miss Ella and the Turtle People" is a children's picture book about the protection, care, and conservation of turtles and about us volunteers, it's pretty cool. Check out the ACF website and learn more about what this terrific non-profit organization does, about Share The Beach, SE turtles, plus pick up some cool merch, or you can even adopt a turtle, we have :-) https://www.joinacf.org/

No matter how many tutors, extra help, special programs he was in, he just struggled to grasp it! But regardless, he never gave up!

He started this process at a different organization, but they were unsupportive and half the time canceled classes on him. So he decided to go here and within a few short months, he achieved his goal and obtained his GED!!! They were so helpful and supportive of him and helped him achieve this milestone!!

When I arrived in gulf shores a number of locals suggested the Legion for steak night. I have…read morealways heard great things about the Legion Halls. My traveling companion and I decided to check it. FOOD IS CASH ONLY. The bar you can run a tab (minimum of $10 charge on your card.) Steak night is from 5-7 on Fridays. The place was entirely full at 5:30 when we arrived. The kitchen did an amazing job turning the food out. It was a very short wait. THE STEAK WAS DELICIOUS. I'm from the Midwest, so I am usually pretty picky about my steak. I would definitely go back again. We ended up meeting the owner and her husband of the catering company that recently took over the food for the Legion. They are the nicest people, felt like we had been friends for years.

Our family booked a week-long stay at the Shipwatch condo (unit 604 D) in Perdido Key, FL in June…read more2025, expecting a "luxury" experience based on the listing and its premium price. Instead, we encountered a dated, cluttered, and poorly maintained property that fell far short of expectations. The front foyer was unwelcoming, lit only by a harsh neon light with no table or hooks for keys or hats. Closets were stuffed with the owner's belongings--large framed pictures, lampshades, random furniture, an ancient TV/VCR combo, and bins of junk. One bedroom's closet was so packed it was nearly unusable, and the entire condo had just 5 hangers, woefully inadequate for a family. The kitchen pantry was cluttered with a rusty can of paint stored next to the dryer, posing a safety concern. Maintenance issues were pervasive. The wooden shutters in the bedrooms were old and dysfunctional; our daughter's room required masking tape to keep them closed (evident from prior tape residue), and the master bedroom's shutters were off their tracks, letting in early morning light. The accordion doors to the pantry/laundry area constantly fell off their tracks, obstructed by the washer and dryer, whose power buttons were cracked and worn. The oven's faded knobs made it impossible to discern burner controls or heat settings. The glass shower door wouldn't close, leaving a 6-inch gap due to missing parts and misaligned tracks. Most alarmingly, the bathroom door handle fell off entirely, creating an inconvenience and safety hazard. The balcony was equally disappointing. The ceiling fan didn't work, and the furniture--rusted metal chairs, a wobbly table, and uncomfortable lounge chairs with broken support rods--was mismatched and impractical. Six random chairs lacked nearby tables for drinks. Inside, the oversized, dated furniture felt worn and uncomfortable. The master bedroom's gaudy bed frame had a gap that caused us to bang our legs getting in and out. A narrow table by the fireplace served no purpose, with a broken wicker stool beneath it. Massive iron lamp bases consumed entire coffee tables, and barstools meant for the counter were stored in the master closet. The kitchen was dark, dated, and poorly equipped, with narrow drawers containing only a few incomplete measuring cups and random pots. We contacted the rental agency frequently about these issues, starting on day one. They were sympathetic and responsive, promptly sending a maintenance person. He was visibly shocked at the condo's condition, apologized profusely, and took photos to report to the agency. Unfortunately, there wasn't much he could do to address the extensive issues during our stay. The condo's beachside location was its only redeeming feature, but it couldn't salvage the experience. For the "luxury" price, we expected a clean, functional property. Instead, Shipwatch felt like a storage unit for outdated junk. I urge the agency and owner to declutter, repair broken fixtures (especially the bathroom door handle and shower), and update the listing to reflect the condo's true condition. Future renters should request recent photos and confirm maintenance status. We won't return.
