Key West Sunset

Celebrate the joy

You have lived another day

Spectrum in the sky

By the grace of God, go I

Join the sundown revelry



*Each day in Key West, they have a party outside to watch the sun go down.  It is 
quite a magical moment if you are able to participate and offer thanks.

For Rick's "beautiful memory" contest

Rise on the Atlantic set on the Gulf. That was the day I was introduced to the Long Island Iced Tea, and yet I somehow still remember it vividly. Thanks for reminding me

This must bring the community together Carolyn. I wish more people did this, it just may repair a lot of cracks in today's society. Good luck in Rick's contest >> James
