That first time!

“So today I had the blessing of seeing a first for our Sweet Momma Rose…..truly one of the best days……..day full of love, family and sun!!!!!” ??☀️

*  With FB full of pics and videos of families visiting the beaches and the Gulf areas it seems like Lawrence and Martin counties are pretty empty right now.

One of the most soothing experiences at the coast for most people is feeling the ocean air and smelling the salt water while enjoying the sunshine. And with the traditional trek to Myrtle Beach during what used to be called “miner’s vacation” and a trip back through the Smokies still alive and well in these parts, oodles of great pics have been posted.

This short video of Rose Delong’s first dip in the ocean (courtesy of a couple family members who deserve a big shout out) is one of my favorites so far.

Those of us who have visited beaches around the country can really relate to this Lazer Facebook Feature.     —Mark Grayson
