Nadine Gabby & I went outon Friday evening, and Gabby & I were there again on Saturday. Nadine was going to drive out again today, and may still go. so fact checking will be turned over to LTG for the duration. I am going to finish out the day at work, save time off for wake and Funeral.

Each lighthouse is unique in history and architecture.http://www.floridalighthouses.org/page-1097957
