Having moved to Texas from Virginia we were not very acquainted with true warm winters. While living in Portland, Texas we learned that you could swim in the Gulf of Mexico year round if you chose. The water was warm and the air acceptably warm.
One year for Christmas we girls all got new bathing suits, they were the new "baby doll" style that was so popular at the time. After opening all our gifts, having our family time, answering all the long distance phone calls and enjoying our traditional Christmas lunch our family decided to head to the beach, just for the experience of swimming on Christmas day. I believe this was the one and only time in my life that I swam on Christmas day.
In the picture included you will see Vickie in the foreground, the group, left to right, is Kathy, Nanny Siler, Me and Sharon.
