Monday 13th January

Factor forty five

It’s after four o’clock

The sun’s beating down

It’s still blazing hot

.

Taking out the kayaks

To search for manatees

Didn’t see a one

Though they’re found throughout the Keys

.

Thinking of you

My darling Angel son

John Pennekamp State Park

Kayaking through the mangroves

Finding shade

The two of us

A quiet spot

Listening to the waves

Swaying palms

Mangroves

Far Beach

Paddling

Out on the kayaks from our resort

Looking for manatees

No sign of any sealife at all!

A cloudy, silver sunset tonight

Sunday 12th January

.

Breakfast at the Lorelei

“Sunday School” it’s called

Perfect spot in the shade

Totally enthralled

.

A replica pirate ship

And a floating tiki bar

Such peculiar watercraft

Not sure they’d go too far

.

Lots of love to you

Precious Angel son

The Lorelei

A Tiki Bar on the water

Pirate ship

A sunny morning

Back at our resort

Beneath the palms

The place to ourselves

Ready for the sunset

It never disappoints

So beautiful

Along comes the floating tiki bar

Saturday 11th January

.

Robbies for lunch

Don’t mind if I do

Remembering the times

We spent here with you

.

Love you forever

Forget you never

Always together

For ever and ever

Friday 10th January

.

A little light rain

Won’t spoil our day

Shopping again

But that’s okay

.

Back in the fast lane

Along the causeway

Here we remain

Beside the bay

.

Thinking of you

Missing you

Remembering you

Love you

Treasured Angel son

Thursday 9th January

.

A shopping kind of day

A little overcast and grey

Be that as it may

Bargains came our way

.

And, at the end of the day

Sitting beside the bay

We saw a spotted ray

Pelicans on display

.

Wishing you were here

To share in all we do

Precious Angel son

Sending much love to you

Wednesday 8th January

.

Loving the Keys

Beneath palm trees

Doing what we please

Pleasant warm breeze

Stresses to ease

Sunsets over seas

Each day to seize

.

Thinking of you

Beloved Angel son

xxxxx

In the shade, beneath the palms

An ibis came by

We had the pool to ourselves

And then we watched the sunset

A few more clouds

But beautiful colours

So very peaceful

Tuesday 7th January

.

Here I am relaxing

Beneath the swaying palms

Just thinking and wishing

That you were in my arms

How splendid that would be

A simple life, no qualms

To see that smile again

So filled with special charms

Happy with your memories

Now anxiety calms

.

Thinking of you

Beloved Angel son

Back in the Keys….

Monday 6th January

.

Bye bye Luke and Ana

Miami to Madrid

An overnight flight

Farewell to them we bid

.

An amazing holiday

With family altogether

Theme parks, water parks, beaches

We had the best time ever

.

You came along too

Everywhere we went

Precious Angel son

Kisses to you are sent

.

A stop along the way from Orlando…. Lauderdale by the Sea

A colourful street leading to the beach

A pretty plaza

A little breezy, but the beach was beautiful

And we had a beer.. We’re glad you’re here

A few dark clouds, but the sun shone on us

So good

Family photo

The pier

A lovely afternoon

Look mum, I’ve found a Harley

At Miami International Airport

Sunday 5th January

.

Seaworld, last time

Bright warm sunshine

Looking so fine

Waiting in line

.

Love you poppet

Beloved Angel son

Manta

Palms

Manta

Head tucked beneath feathers

Sleeping flamingoes

Kraken

Antarctica

Beautifully landscaped

Empire of the penguin

Living in a fridge

Clyde and Seymore’s show

Beneath the candy canes

Clever sky writing

The resort flumes

Saturday 4th January

.

Lower temperatures

So a bit of shopping

Gifts and presents to buy

No time for stopping

.

A little crazy golf

A custom car cruise

So much going on

With lots to amuse

.

Thinking of you

Missing you

Remembering you

Love you
