Summer Is Here!

It's 95° here today. Swimming weather!

Sometimes I think having the pool is more trouble than it is worth, but when our grandkids are here it is such a wonderful thing to have.

That's two of them in the pool a couple of years ago. When they come to visit, they are in the pool most of the day, every day. It's so much better than having them inside, glued to the TV or a video game. They come inside at the end of the day tired and sometimes sunburned, even though we try to keep sunscreen on them. And they are ready for a good night's sleep so that they can get up the next day and do it all over again. :o)

We often eat lunch at the table at the back of the pool because they don't want to come inside. On summer evenings, they love to play soft music on the radio and have candles on the patio and all around the yard and pool. I can hardly wait for school to be out so that they can come and spend time with us. Hey kids, Papa is in the pool today, wishing he had some playmates. :o)
