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

Everywhere we went

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

Dawn of the new millennium

Twenty years ago today

We drove to Cocoa Beach
