Mar 7th How would you like to take this trip Brady? It's about 115 miles over water. We expect to go to Key West over this highway before coming home. Sunday we went to Lakeland & then over to Winter Haven to see Uncle Will. Wish you all could be here with us. The sun is hot & the bathing great. I get home-sick at times. Love, Emma McCloskeyDimensions
