We just got back — now Amanda Tackette and fam are partaking of the house porn on southern Alabama’s coast! What is it about the water that makes us buy Real Estate in foreign countries, brave freezing water, just do about anything to have a patch of sand with a few waves lapping! Amanda tells us that where she is, half the homes were wiped out by Ivan, yet everyone’s all re-decorated and back. P.S. Since we’re writing on second homes for the next issue of D Home and Garden — get ready — I am going to ask Amanda to spy and tell me just who from Dallas is beaching it down yonder.
