Fort Myers, Florida was the winter home of Thomas Edison and Henry Ford. They were very good friends and had their homes right next door to each other. The homes are now owned by the city and have recently been totally refurbished and are in beautiful condition. Every December volunteers decorate the homes and the grounds. Each year there is a different theme so you can go back every year and it will be totally different. These pictures were taken several years ago.
OK, I know you are all busy checking out everyone's Ruby Tuesday but take the time to bookmark me and drop back to check out my blog. I am a retired Special Ed teacher who now spends most of her time on Sanibel Island, Florida which is a Sanctuary Island for wildlife. I volunteer for a wildlife hospital. I am also the proud grandma of 5 wonderful grandkids and brag about them often!! I also have a blog called Branches and Roots where I talk about genealogy and my ancestors. OK, enough about me. So if you really want to see red go to Work of the Poet

Tis season, and its about time we get that spirit going. Beautiful.
Love the festive mood here! Nice captures!~
Mine is here.
Very nicely done. I am soooo ready for Christmas.
The inside is beautifully decorated!
You just gave me a blast from the past! My husband and I visited these homes about twenty years ago and all I could think of about when we went there was how badly sunburned we both were.
good times!!!
Enjoying these Christmas decorations...because we don't have any at our house!!
Well I confess, I am jealous of your 80 degree weather. We just moved to Ohio from southern Georgia. I am here to proclaim that I am an Ohioian by birth but a SOUTHERN lady by choice! I love seeing the snow fall (expecially since I no longer work) but I really miss the long warm days of the south!
Your blog title caught my eye from Alexis' blog. You are where I want to retire! So I really enjoyed your decorations!
I hope you enjoy the holiday season...Merry Christmas!
Joy, DeeDee
Beautiful pics of beautifully decorations! Very festive!
May you and your family have wonderful times this Christmas, Snowbird! :)
