We had a great three day stay with cousins Tony and Marilyn Mefford in Niceville, Florida. Tony and Marilyn walk out of their home to the dock where their boat is moored. It is a rough life. We watched the sun set from their fishing boat on the Sarahann bayou, toured several other bayous and Tom enjoyed his plane ride. The four of us visited the Hurlbert Air Force Base and then drove to a resort town Destin, right on the Gulf of Mexico, to walk on the beach and see the results of a month-long fishing derby.
