It's Better on Block Island

Posted by Judy (Brooksville, Florida, United States) on 15 March 2009 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.

Another one of our wonderful Frostbiting summer cruises produced this memory.

PS: Our daughter and 7-yr-old granddaughter (her niece), are visiting from NJ and CO for a weekend visit. It has been a year since we've seen them, when they came for our son's memorial service. This is a wonderful, but somewhat bittersweet reunion. I've pre-posted images and I may not get to visit until after their all-too-early return tomorrow.

Thank you so much for visiting my blog; your comments are greatly appreciated. I apologize for not getting to all of your posts. I will visit as time permits.

We often look back at old photos, and I think, did I do that, was I that strong, how slim we look ha ha..! Lovely photo Judy.

@Observing: I know EXACTLY what you referred to ..... is it possible that so many years have passed?

This is the sweetest image of you two I've seen so far. Love that sun dance on your hair. Great memory.

Susan from Fort Lauderdale, FL, United States

That's too funny about the bald head being his knee.... now that I look at it again, I can definitely see that..... but originally, thought you were staring down at another body!!
