Beautiful job on the opening post Dansy!
My mom and her side of the family are from Florida so I've been fortunuate enough to spend alot of time there in my life, sometimes months at a time. She was born in Hollywood and was just a baby when her family went through that terrible Hurricane in 27 (I think). They lost everything and barely lived through it, her family eventually settled in Jacksonville. My grandfather was the Chief of Police in St. Augustine at one time.

Thank you ((((((Aqua))))))) for sharing your story.

*That* must have been a really cool job! I've been there twice - once in 1982 when my daughter was only 5 and again with .45MAN a few years ago before we left FL. It's a really interesting and historic place!

Hello to my other lovely sistahs! Sistah Dansy did such a beautiful presentation today on the Sunshine State!
Dutchess, I'm guessing you've been working on John's essay for tomorrow, 'cause I haven't seen you yet today. :)
