KIND WORDS WILL...


"Kind words will unlock an iron gate, 
a helping hand will open the door beyond."

~Author Unknown~






Continuing with looking back, I found this pretty gate and doorway from one of the small towns in Florida, along with part of the cut-out wooden fencing. I wish I had paid more attention but as this was a private residence, I didn't feel I should stay too long. Unfortunately, I didn't make a note where it was. They had many quaint looking homes in the towns we traveled through.

  2. Cool photo. I haven't ever noticed in my few travels south that the front door had the old hurricane shutters for the front door too! Makes sense. Linda in Kansas
