Summer

Ok - I've been out of touch for awhile..... however, I don 't know that I have too many regulars, so I'm sure I haven't been missed....much!

Anyway, summer has been upon us for about 8 weeks now...and the kids and I have had wonderful - LAZY - days poolside. As a little girl - I ALWAYS wanted a pool... I vowed, when I was an adult, I would have a pool. So about 6 years ago, we took the plunge .... literally. For me it was the best investment we could have made. The kids loved it and I was in heaven. Now, having your own pool can present problems.... but the benefits far outweigh the negative. (That will be my mantra when neighborhood children show up in full on swimming gear and ask if they can play/swim... did I mention that I don't personally know their parents? .... I mean what kind of parent lets their children leave in full on swimming gear and doesn't ask where they are going and if they've been invited. I'm not a lifeguard for pete's sake, right?)

Anyway, I digress... having the pool has been wonderful...and I just love to look at the blue water .... float in my chair ..... and just reflect on how damn lucky I am to be living this life.....
