How much do they love Florida?

Mum and her best mate; Norma, have just spent two weeks in Florida.... again ! The Florida Floozies as I now refer to them, only wanted to go for ten days but Ooooh Many an OAP's favourite"Oh Helen, we couldn't get a return flight for ten days so we had to go for a fortnight." Like that was a hardship for them.

Not only did they have to extend their stay but they went only having booked the first weeks accommodation ! Yes. You heard right. Two conservative seventy-plus year old ladies who are usually so very proper and organised, took a 10 hour flight to Orlando ON THEIR OWN (no hubbies in tow) and after the first week they'd be homeless !

THAT'S how much they love Florida !

After they'd done their daily quota of 5 hours shopping, an OAP meal at Denny's and 2 hours of bingo, somehow they had time to find themselves some alternative digs for the second week although they've been pretty quiet about what sort of accommodation it is...The Florida Mall - Soooo many shopslet's face it - it could be the 'Mission for the Destitute' closest to the Florida Mall.

That's how much they love Florida.

Had a brief call from mother today (she still had 3 minutes to use up on her phone card) "We're flying back today and I forgot to ask you what you wanted from here but now I haven't got time to get you anything."
"That's OK. As long as you guys had a good time - I'm sure you did"
And then it dawned on me - it's the second day of Wimbledon today and they're missing it!

That's how much they love Florida !!Grannies @ Minnie's House
