GIFT DAY 044 lovemore+fearless valentine’s day

13 Feb

I looked up the best Valentine’s Day movies today and this is what I found from the Washington Times: The List: Best Valentine’s Day movies

They seem so CLASSIC but almost out of time and place.

So I made my own Valentine’s Day Movie List…
(because I’m a GIRL!).
But, FIRST… I want to take you on a walk of our little beach-front neighborhood — and what it looks like today.
We surveyed the damage. Amazing that we still have a porch left once you see what is floating in the marsh… refrigerator anyone?
Justin found our stairs. They were 1/2 mile up the road. Along with someone’s chair.
The wind certainly did some damage too, which was mostly why everyone was without power for so long. Downton Trees?


I’m sure the Open House will be rescheduled for the house that this sign belongs too… hopefully the house is still in shape to sell.


It’s not this one. Which is now condemned, the house is losing a porch and a roof.


The windows didn’t fair so well on this house, along with the porch. The area where this house is located in the neighborhood definitely got hit the hardest. (It’s less than a 1/2 mile from us.)


And, our stair-less beach view. You can see the bolt that sticks out, where the stairs previously attached to the house.

We are lucky this storm wasn’t worse.
In some odd way it’s made the neighbors more friendly, more loving, more willing to pitch in and help.

And that makes me wonder — why can’t we ALWAYS care this much about each other, our neighbors, or our community? Why can’t we always have an abundance of helping hands to go around?

Lovemore+Fearless?

Good thing there is a day devoted to love, right around the corner. Like… tomorrow!

Here are my top Valentine’s Day movies!

  • Sliding Doors
  • Clueless
  • The Notebook

I would love to see yours!

More tomorrow.
Lovemore,
Jamie

    Lucky? Yeah, but as my sister says, if you were lucky it wouldn’t have happened. Maybe everyone has the caring inside, they just don’t trot it out every day… anyway, Happy V. Day! Lovemore

    So glad you can move back into your home. Very sad for many others. I think my favorite fun love story would have to be French Kiss. I’m a big fan of former St. Louis resident Kevin Kline. Saw Amour yesterday and I think that is probably the strongest love story ever.
