SUMMER'S END??


Cute Blake (Sam's Son) came up to me at church Sunday and said, "Mrs. Lora, do you think we could go back to that pool sometime and swim?) Blake was kind enough to swim with us when the Grands were here. Who could tell that sweet beautiful child, "No"? (Except his little fireball of a Momma) So we planned a final swim before school starts next week.
We have access to a pool here in Ruston in a neighborhood where we own a Garden Home lot. Nice perk! It's a nice pool and has a baby pool attached--PERFECT for kids!
When I tell you it is HOT here--that is the understatement. I believe it was hovering around 100 degrees yesterday when we all jumped in. 4 Moms or Grands and a host of children and grands. We all had a great time.
I did chuckle to myself over my new friend. I was the only adult there without a charge, but Babs's grand saw that I needed a buddy and immediately latched on. "Pull me", "One More Time", "Watch Me", "Let's Jump Off The Diving Board", I obviously had the look of someone who needed a child. She is precious and looks JUST LIKE her Mother---blue eyes you could swim in.
The kids did great and we all had fun---but how could summer possibly be over? Those poor children going back to school with temperatures at the century mark!

I hope that it's still warm enough for us to swim with Henry when I come!
