Sunday Afternoon

writeroval-1-1

Welcome to the 45th run of "Sunday Favorites"!!!

"Sunday Favorites" is a Sunday meme designed to give bloggers a chance to share a favorite post from the past! Thanks to  Happy to Design for hosting this event!

It’s a beautiful day here in Florida...perfect for relaxing. Of course, if you know me, I can only enjoy relaxing for a little while and then I’m ready to GO somewhere! Here I am on Jekyll Island last week. Latitude 31 is an AMAZING place to eat! I had Grouper Hemingway with Key Lime pie for dessert! Delicious!

Your pictures are wonderful.
Regarding the post, since marriage which was 52 and 1/2 years ago I have only been on the first page. We are real homebodies.
when I was a kid I did a lot of traveling with my mom and aunt. I will always remember our trip to my mom's home in Canada. Then when I was around 14 my mom and I traveled across the United States by Greyhound bus. Interestin, fun, and tiring.
I loved it though.

Hello Diane...

My friend, I was just elated to have you join in with the fun of Sunday Favorites...WELCOME!!! What a fabulous post to share with us today! Your vacation photos of Georgia are sooo beautiful! In fact, the second photo of those golden reeds in the water...along with the palm trees lining the roadway...is just gorgeous!!! It's my favorite! Mmm...it's just 9:30am here right now...so honestly the Grouper Hemmingway isn't sounding so good...just because it's a little early...but a piece of key lime pie sounds divine! Hehe! I really do love seafood...and I'm sure that given just a couple of hours...I would love to give it a try! Hehe!

Thank you so much, Diane...for participating in Sunday Favorites!!! It's such a pleasure to have you and I hope that you'll join in with the fun again! Loved all of your beautiful vacation photos! It's cold and very foggy at my place this morning. We're supposed to get more snow today. You're photos of the sun and water are like a breath of fresh air, my friend!!!

Have a super Sunday!
