What Is This Little Girl Looking At?

So...WHERE DID WE GO
on vacation?
The three little girls and I went 
someplace special.
New Smyrna Beach, FL
While we were there we found
the annual 
SEA FESTIVAL
just 3 blocks from our residence.
It was a place to stare in awe
at all things new and different.
I snapped this little girl staring
at something that caught her fancy.
Isn't she cute?

WHAT is she LOOKING AT?
Matter of fact-
What are ALL these people looking at?

Well....here's the back view.
Nothing too unusual in seeing someone
pushing someone around in a wheelchair
in a retirement community, is there?
Or IS THERE?
Ummmm...
Smile Girls-
You may have been out-cuted by this
wheelchair full of love.
And for 
A DOLLAR DONATION
you can have YOUR PICTURE taken with
her and her babies.
AND FOR 
ANOTHER DOLLAR DONATION
you can get a 
CHRISTMAS CARD PICTURE
like THIS ONE-
We are now the proud owners of 
THREE OF THESE PICTURES-
one for each girl.
The lady knows a sucker when 
she sees one.
Life is grand!

    That woman is probably living in a penthouse condo on the beach and laughing all the way to the bank. LOL

    Diana, I have been there just once in my life. Went to a stock car race there, while I was vacationing in Daytona. Yes, I used to be a race care junkie. I love the smell of burning rubber on asphalt. Now I love the smell of new lumber and coffee. I feel as if I have lived many lifes.LOL Your girls look so sweet with the granny and her dogs.I love that picture. xoxo,Susie

    Good Morning, Welcome home! I have enjoyed reading your post and I like the Christmas one with her pets. We all are suckers at some time or another. Everybody had a good time and that is the main thing. I bet grandma enjoyed every moment with those girls. I know I would. Have a wonderful day. I am spending mine with my oldest grandson. Hugs and Prayers from your Missouri Friend.

    I hear those retirement centers in Florida are nice but EXPENSIVE! Maybe she's just trying to maintain her lifestyle? You have to admit that's pretty clever.

    What great pics! What a coincidence. My daughter's family went to New Smyrna Beach in early June. They've been several times and love it!

    I had an aunt and uncle who lived in New Smyrna Beach. We visited there a few times. They lived right on the beach. It was just beautiful.

    Love those cute little dogs and your cute little girls too!

    I love the lady and her dogs. Hey, when you're on a fixed income and inflation keeps climbing . . . well, a girl's got to do what a girl's got to do :) I love her spunk, and how nice of you to play along and help her out :)
    God bless you.

    At her age, a little something made from a few photos is worth paying for. It is tragic that seniors do not have enough money to live on.

    So Sweet! I recently strapped a basket in a baby stroller to hold my Moms Chihuahua. She sleeps in it while my Mom cooks supper. It keeps my Mom from tripping over her.. she stays up under her feet otherwise... very spoiled!
    Love the vacation photos! Keep them coming :)
