Memories of Florida

I remember our exclusive Florida vacation, Days with my sons, sister and parents. They gave us a chocolate Santa and a bag of oranges, When we arrived at the airport from Canada. The long walks along the white sandy beach, The beautiful shells that you could collect along the way. I would put them on the bench of my balcony to display them, I brought them with me when i returned to Canada. The roar of the ocean and waves, You could see the white caps on the waves, truly memorable. The swim in their exquisite swimming pool, I would wear my royal purple bathing suit and go for a swim. We would go to the local restaurant with our relatives, And dine on the delicious foods. Saint Armands was our favorite place to shop and dine, I bought the lizard T- shirts for my sons. I received a beautiful blue Abalonia shell as a present, This is very popular in Florida. A trip to Disneyland at Christmas, I remember the marching parade down the main street. We visited at our dear friends house, Good to see them again and dine. Visiting our parents' time share, Mother would cook us a delicious lunch. We visited back and forth, Sometimes they would dine at out timeshare. New Year's Day we watched the fireworks with friends, They were exquisite patterns in the sky. Beautiful memories that I will always cherish, We are always very blessed to holiday together. Author: Gwen von Erlach Schutz.
