A Place Called George's Lake

The problem with searching the web for information on George's Lake or even Florahome, Florida is the same problem many people today see with all of our advanced technology - real world disconnectedness. If you just want the basic facts, the internet's a great place to get them, but in the case of Georges Lake, a dry list of facts seems a poor representation of a place so rich with memories. For some, those memories go back a long way filled with the sound of laughing kids, the smell of barbeque, or fishing 101 as taught by Grandad. Maybe some may even recall a family by the name of George swimming in the lake,... hmmmm? And oh yeah, by the way - this is George's Lake we're talking about, not Lake George - that's another Lake here in Florida and a whole nuther story. Like Florahome, George's Lake holds more memories than the lake holds fish and like these old photos,...

even though the memories may have faded a little, they are, for we who have them, a place called George's Lake.
