Blog award from Erin..........At the beach.................................

Hello dear blogging friends! Edward and I have been away for several days.......even though I'm exhausted I want to post our beach trip with Marion and John....our dear guests from Wales who honored us with a visit in May........



My sweet granddaughter, Erin, has so thoughtfully honored me by giving me an award......Brilliante Weblog....thank you sweet girl.......I'm thinking to whom I want to pass it along.................. hummmm.......


`````````````````````````````````````````````````````````

For anyone new to my blog: Our friends, Marion and John, from Wales visited us for 12 days in May. Marion and I are blogging about our time together....each from our perspective....
`````````````````````````````````````````````````````````

After leaving Savannah, we drove down to Amelia Island, Florida...this is where Edward and I went on our honeymoon 48 years ago and continue to go each summer. We, our girls and their families, go for a week in the summer and have a wonderful time.....

As we crossed the Florida state line Edward commented, "we're in Florida now." Marion hadn't realized we were going to Florida and exclaimed, "John, can you believe we're in Florida!"
The condominium that we stay in.......

The view across the street......recently Marion and I 'met' Pamela who stays down the street.....



John and Edward on the balcony.....Yes, Wales is on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean.......




Resting before deciding where to eat......

A beautiful sunrise for a new day.................


Not shown with these signs, but sunami signs are posted also. Something in years past we knew nothing about.........


"Hey, everybody".........
Marion cooling her feet......................



"Come on, Marion, John and Edward".... Yes, Marion, as the sign says, "keep coming back!"
There are benches all over the beach and island with names and sayings.............................



Of course, we had to shop.............

"This is a comfortable chair John, will it fit in our luggage?"
Edward would probably agree with this some days......'.I only have a kitchen because it came with the house'.......

All too soon it was time to pack up and head home..........thank you Janis and Oscar...........................
