Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me!
This sword washed up on shore during our last visit to the island. I cleaned it up, fixed it, and put a nice coat of stain and lacquer on it.
You kind of have to be part pirate when you visit Fort Myers Beach, now I'll look the part!

Love this! We had such a wonderful time back in our favorite beach town for Christmas.
There is still a long road ahead, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

It hurts Lindsey McDermott to see Fort Myers Beach after Ian. “This is very emotional and a lot to take in,” McDermott ...

Love the support from our home in Minnesota to our home in Florida! 🥰

Our beloved Fort Myers Beach is unrecognizable in structure and landscape right now. But the people of this town are strong, resilient, and amazingly kind-hearted.
Thank you all for checking in on us and seeing how we are doing. There is so much that we don't know yet, so for now we are praying for Florida and will get there as soon as we can to rebuild and make FMB as whole as possible again.

For those that have reached out and inquired about our beloved Fort Myers Beach, here are some resources if you are so inclined with your time or your money.
Beyond that thoughts and prayers are still welcome. The town has been devastated by Ian. I'll share some more videos that we found in the comments.
