T'was the day before Christmas in Florida


T’was the day before Christmas and Florida was cold,
Jeff’s sister Gaye was visiting and she felt quite bold,
So off to the beach we flew through the chill,
And as she entered the water, she felt quite a thrill,
For the water was chilly, down right cold it is true,
But Gaye smiled and laughed as her toes became blue.
“It’s the beach,” she said with a grin on her face,
“I’d rather be here than any other place!”


So, despite the wind, the waves, and the cold water there,
We had fun at the beach as the wind blew our hair.
We waded in the surf and drew pictures in the sand,
Afterwards we headed for the ice cream stand!
Well, actually to COLD STONE for a chilly little snack -
Which we ate in the warmth of the car heading back.

  1. Hi Alice. I just discovered your blog, by way of a comment you left on Lindsey's blog.
    This beach looks very familiar. I think this Walker family is drawn to the ocean. Beautiful photos!!
    I also love the anonymous quote about photography. I hope you don't mind me sharing it with my family. Your grandchildren are certainly growing up. They are all beautiful!! Have a great day.
