Oh Arubagirl and villagerjack I so agree.

Back to the subject, I think it wise to stay away from the edges of ponds and all water in Florida, especially now during mating season of alligators because they are acting irascibly.

We have to remember that alligators transport themselves by walking and running and swimming and are virtually impossible to contain in one place or keep out of watery places here where we live. I can't remember any other horrible event like this at Disney in fifty years. It doesn't happen often but it does happen and our treasured children must be protected at all costs.

So all grandparents of small children file this somewhere. I am so overprotective that I will not allow our adult and gainfully employed grandchildren who drive sensibly to drive alone in our golfcart here in The Villages.

I love being the matriarch.
