Cold weather shelters
open in Santa Rosa
By PAMELA HOLT
850-623-2120
[email protected]
Temperatures dropped significantly last week
in Santa Rosa County. Insufficient home heating or
lack of residence can leave some people out in the
cold.
Last week, two shelters opened to accommodate
residents who fall under those categories.
These shelters in Santa Rosa County are avail-
able when temperatures drop below 40 degrees and
will be open until March, according to the people
who operate them.
Ferris Hill Baptist Church, 6848 Chaffin St. in
Milton, and Community of Christ Church, 2111 Pre-
sidio St. in Navarre, will be available between 6:30-
8:30 p.m. No one will be admitted after 8:30 p.m. un-
less brought in by law enforcement. The shelters
will close at 7 a.m. each morning.

Slow and
steady
I’ve been holding my breath for
a week.
Lots of events have happened
in the past seven days.
Some very excellent.
One very sad.
I realized around last
Wednesday I was going to need
to move slow and steady like the
tortoise in the race with the hare. By MIKE PATTERSON much more.

did a great job (Though I admit,
being a professional photographer,
I could not resist shooting my own
photos too. You can see them on
my Facebook page: Lynne Hough
Photography.)
The reception was really fun.
One of the best things about it was
the gathering of family and loved
ones from all over the country.
My youngest sister came down
from South Carolina; my oldest
brother drove with his family up
from Bradenton, Florida. The
bride’s grandparents came from
Missouri. And the wedding date
was set so my daughter living in
Africa could be here. Several local
members of our family were there,
as was many people from the
bride’s family.
There was a lot of happy tears
and laughter.
So that was Saturday.
Go back one day to Friday:
rehearsal and rehearsal dinner.
There was much driving and
gathering of children who were to
be in the wedding.
The dinner was at Blackwater
Bistro. If you’ve been there, you
know the food was great, as was
the atmosphere. Visitors from out-
of-town and those locals who had
never eaten there before loved it.
Thank you to the ladies who waited
on our group. You were perfect.
The day before that: Thursday.
Thanksgiving. My ex-husband and
his signifi cant other invited us all
over to their home where they did
all the cooking. That was a treat.
Of course, there was the trying-
on of tuxedos for the wedding.
We had the boys try on their little
shoes, shirts, ties, and pants.
Shoes didn’t fi t. Ended up buying
those the morning of the wedding.
I sat at a table with my grown
and growing children for the
“feast” as the little guys called
it. They tormented each other
and told stories. We are fi nding
some things my oldest daughter
in the Peace Corps is unaware of.
She’s been catching us up on the
positives of living in Africa – the
differences in the cultures. That
has been very interesting.
On Wednesday, I worked and
squeezed in shopping for a dress
for the wedding with my daughter
and a friend.
On Tuesday, I cried a lot
because the day before, a friend
of mine was found dead from an
apparent suicide (see page 6A).
On Monday night, I discovered
my friend killed himself,
something I still can’t come to
terms with. Especially after
seeing what his co-workers at the
Crestview Police Department had
to say about him. {{sigh}}
So, today we are preparing the
paper for Wednesday, Dec. 4 and I
fi nally feel like I can breathe again.
I had a great visit with my
sister and we cried about our last
days with my dad (he died 2012).
We laughed at our similarities and
the way we see the world. And I do
remember my mother telling me
over the past few days when I was
being particularly stubborn. “Don’t
ever doubt that you have a lot of
your dad in you.”
That comment made me happy.
It looks like the way of the
tortoise served me well this week.
Now I’m back on the treadmill.
