Strawberry Fields

In my last post I wrote about living in South Florida many years ago when I was newly married. There were so many wonderful memories...such as

Sunsets over the beach....soft, balmy breezes on a summer evening....the Everglades...cool Coconut Grove....Strawberry milkshakes straight from the strawberry fields....real Florida oranges......Shrimp fresh off the boat.....a drive along the coast, anytime....a dip into the pool after a hot, humid day....Latino music...the diverse culture....the relaxed atmosphere...driving along the Florida Keys....hot, hot, hot Miami!....the children of the migrant workers that used to come into my store....picture postcard memories.

Isn't it good to reflect on the past.
I was raised in a little town in south Louisiana and I thought things would never change. But now it is an antique town. Nothing is the same. But I do have memories of our first little house with hamburger and ice cream stand across the street. guess I too old. I don't like change in that way too much.
Stop by and visit me again. Blessings!

I love all your memories. I could just feel my self walking down that beach that you described. I know you have some wonderful memories there. Have a wonderful week.
