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!

What a cute way of making extra money. And there is a sucka born every minute, so I hear.
That woman is probably living in a penthouse condo on the beach and laughing all the way to the bank. LOL

glad ya'll had a good time.
Ahhh, such sweet memories you and your girls made! Vacations are for doing cheesy and being suckers, I know first hand, it’s such fun!!! I love those pics..........

What amazed me is that she was in long sleeves and a black skirt! Makes me have a hot flash just looking at her :) YOur grandies will remember that always...
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.
oh thats so cute, she is a inventive woman!
Those dogs are so adorable...and the girls with them!
That clever lady is smiling all the way to the bank, I'm sure! xo
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.
Her doggies look like they're lovin' it, too! Your vacay by the sea-side sounds fabulous!
Looks like you had fun :) Love the Christmas card photo!
Hugs!
The only things cuter than that little lady and her sweet doggies are your grand daughters! Glad to see you are having fun....hugs, Penny
Cute! Sounds like I need to get busy and push Katie around in a wheel chair, I could use some extra spending money, hahaha!
Hi Diana,
What a lovely beach to visit. The pictures of the doggies with the girls is adorable. Glad you have so much fun.
Kris
Diana,
It looks like you girls are having such a nice time. So glad that you do this kind of thing with your grandkids. What a blessing you are to them.
xoxo.

If only I could get my kitties to sit still. Just think of the part-time money! :)
Such cute photos! I'm glad you had a fun vacation making memories and have arrived back home safely.
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!
Judy
Absolutely love it! Scrolled down through your posts and caught up with all the latest seaside fun. Loved every bit...well, except for the "beaut." :)
Enjoy your summer, Diana.

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.
Connie :)
Oooh, I just found my retirement job! Glad you had a wonderful vacation!
xo Kat
Oh hon, such wonderful memory pics, I love them and those Little girls are just to sweet and lovely. I like that retirement idea for me, lol.. Big hugs,
FABBY
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.
It was for a good cause...and the dogs were really cute
Ha! That lady's no dummy! Very cute, though :)
Susan
LOL- now that's cute. Love it!
Oh, how funny, Diana! Definitely a picture that will bring back many memories! xo Nellie
You made me laugh so hard with this post.. had to share it with all my friends..
Diana
You can never go wrong spending special time with your girls!
They will never forget this vacation with Nanna!
How funny! Your girls will remember that for the rest of their lives!
Oh, I would have taken a picture of that too. You should use the one with the girls for Christmas cards. It's soooo cute. Glad you are home safe and had a grand time.
Love,
~Sheri
Speaking of grand..... Jess just went to the GRAND CANYON, and will post her pictures tomorrow. Stop by if you get a chance.
Love,
~Me
Very creative..clever lady..
Too funny! It was worth a couple bucks though, right??!! Glad you had a wonderful time with your angels!!~~Angela
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 :)
thats awesome! smart lady charging for pictures! once when I was in nyc someone was dressed up as elmo and I stood next to him/her to get my pic taken by a friend, then elmo turned to me and in a asian accented voice said, "that be one dolla please!" lol!
glad you had fun!

Mystery solved! I'm longing for a little beach time. ;-)
