“Living in FLORIDA requires TRIPS here and there”

This PHOTO lets everyone know  – – right up and in front where we are – – no million questions about it – – “It is Silver Springs, Florida” and we also visited other surrounding places – – while driving around.

 We are sitting in  and on the left side  area  of this boat – – the little boy up front belongs to the Mother in the  left side corner –  next is Lee, Sr. holding our son, Al  – – and just his head is showing  – then “ME” in the white dress and “Lee, Jr.,” in the white shirt – and I am counting maybe eighteen people aboard the “Glass Bottom Boat” – -and in the middle of the boat floor – – there is the glass that we can see whatever decides to float under the boat as we take our  trip around the designated area – – but first these  “PHOTOS”  for all of us  that would wish to buy –  – and like us a memory  to last forever  – –   when we get back from the trip.

 

Seems that we just  had to pack a “LUNCH” and find  a spot along the “Inter Coastal” areas where some well advertised  “Boat Racing” was to take place. Since this was a first time for us –  and a full day of racing  – we had taken lots of stuff with us – – sure did not…  have to want some thing  most important – – and find that we forgot to bring  ‘that’  very necessary  something – – that would really make  or break our having  a very special and FUN  day… especially for the children!

That is big LEE and baby Al, – – so close together – – since you never know how fast a “baby” will move and or just decide to lean too far in the direction of the water… falling in – – but LEE was an expert in swimming and  in saving people – – so no fear for us.

Lee, Jr., is most probably wishing that he could  just jump in and swim around – – as he is what I like to say… “Part FISH” – – he is always ready to jump in  the  Lake Melba,  across from where  we live and also into the OCEAN – – where we go so often. “Lee did join the NAVY when he was eighteen – –  served aboard the USS Ranger (CV-61)  for six  years!

This PHOTO is us enjoying some time  along the “OCEAN” front in Fort Lauderdale – – just a mile from our home and  we even would show  up on “NEW YEAR’s DAY” – – just like all of the  “visitors from the NORTH” do – – when they come down for their VACATION time  – – just to spend time tanning in  the SUN!

P.S.

Just an idea of the USS Ranger   (CV-61)  off the coast of California. May the “Almighty Yahweh”  Bless and keep safe all of our  young men and women that decide to be in the Military to protect all of AMERICA!    D.V.
