“January in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and NO SNOW”

Jul 31st “January in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and NO SNOW”

When you live in Florida and you have good FRIENDS in Saint Louis that know where you are – – enjoying all of that nice “SUNSHINE” and there is lots of SNOW building up by the big “Foot Size Buckets” – – “How can you say “NO” to their request, to come on down and visit with you?”

On the left is a very good friend of my husband, Lee – – and since this PHOTO was taken in 1962 – – I am thinking that his name is “Dick Price” – – but, to be for sure – – I would have to look up our old “Christmas Card” lists – – and check out… who we sent “Christmas Cards” to… way back then?

Just looking at this PHOTO – – a thought comes to me… that this was DECEMBER 1961 and January 1962 — and it is amazing how green and good looking the lawn is – – since and if we were up NORTH – – I do doubt that the lawn would be in such good shape and the weather so nice – for us to be in the front yard with short sleeve shirts on and such wonderful “SUNSHINE” for all of us to have FUN – – just to enjoy some outdoor activities!

It is hard to say if this PHOTO was first or second – – as it looks as if they are getting up from the “Previous” PHOTO – – or just maybe – – I am telling them to find a nice spot and pose with some nice big smiles for the camera – – so that I will have a memory of this good time – – spent with a FRIEND from the NORTH – – escaping from the “deep freeze” in the Saint Louis Missouri area – – just maybe our guest, “DICK PRICE” will want to stay in Florida… forever!

SO… For and with the old memories of “50 Years ago” have to include an old song that I remember that you would sing to me – – so that where ever you are, Lee – – You know that I am thinking of you, too!
