The Mississippi Gulf Coast has always had a special place in my heart. In recent years while living in Jackson, I have become an adamant advocate for staying close to my Biloxi roots. On a visit to the coast a couple weekends ago, I employed my friends’ help to gather materials for a project I had in mind. We stopped by one of the local shrimp yards to collect the sun-bleached oyster shells—that once form the coastal gravel of the Back Bay shores—to help me make this weekend’s project.
