WHITE SANDS AND TROPICAL BREEZE
The White Sands and Anna Maria Island And surrounding are from Venice to up to Tampa Clearwater all Faired well. I went to Disney World and on saw minor roof and sign damage in Orlando and the surrounding areas. After going to both Both Disney and Bush Gardens in October if I did not know there had been a storm, I would have never known there had even been a summer shower. HURRICANE SEASON IS OVER WE SURVIVED WITH ONLY MINOR REPAIR< NO LEAKS< JUST YARD KEEP UP Jeanie God continues to watch over Anna Maria Island Florida and us. Jeanie came with high winds Sunday morning and continue all day till around 7pm, after 7 the wind start to subside. Monday morning woke up to a sunny day light breeze. What a change from the days before. We have a little bit of cleaning up but less mess than Frances. All is well and we are open for business. Thank you for continue interest and prayers.
