I have a few blogs that I follow daily and this is one of my favourites, tho I am a bit of a lurker and post comments less often than I would like .........don't know why ......anyhow I was reading this post and just had to have a look at my sixth picture in my sixth folder of 'my pictures' and then spent a good hour browsing the other folders .........made me smile, happy memories.
This is my sixth photo: my lovely Mum in April 2006, in the pool of the villa we rented for our first and, so far, only holiday to Florida. She is age 60 in the photo and I think she looks fantastic, I hope I have her 'age genes'!
We started a savings acount when our first daughter Megan was born in 1994 and then came Elenor in '97 and we kept putting a bit away each month for our Florida fund. We decided 2006 the girls were the right age to appreciate the holiday so it was booked! Can't find the words to describe it, so mush better than we expected, we were told you'll either love it or hate it ...............well we LOVE LOVE LOVED it. Don't know when we will be back but we WILL .......something to dream about!
And here we all are me, Elenor, Richard, Megan, Mum, Dad. Here are my two girls, I love the sunlight sparkling through their hats.

Paula, I followed your link from Creative Breathing. I'm a Florida girl (turning 60 this year). I'm so glad you loved your FL vacation. We have a saying here~if you get sand in your shoes, you will return. So I hope you got lots of sand in your shoes!
I see a wonderful how to for the little gift boxes, and some lovely Etsy items. I'll be back!
OK, now I'm stalking. LOL I just saw you are from England. I had to tell you my neighbors are from England and their house is their vacation home. They are here now escaping some winter. They come from Chesterfield.
Paula, It is amazing how these photos link us. Laura's meme was of San Francisco and has reminded me of a story about my parents. Yours is about my beloved Florida! It has just made my snowy Ohio morning all the more wonderful. So happy you participated. I wish we were called Mum here instead of Mom so that my daughter wouldn't have typed moo! Elizabeth PS I love your blog, now I will have to delurk you!
