The Swimming Pool (Original Version)

(Note: This was posted on MySpace July 8, 2006. It's being published here to provide readers the opportunity to compare last year's experience with this year's.)

Today it's 99 degrees where we live and I don't really mind. I love the heat so summer is my favorite season. Last week we went to Rita's house for a little socializing and cooling off in her pool. We had such a great time, Ray and I went out and bought a 4' X 15' pool for our backyard last Sunday morning. He set up the pool and filled it with water and the kids have been enjoying it all week. Yesterday was my day off but had other stuff to take care of so I didn't have a chance to get in. This morning, I had my nails done then Ray and I went to the local pool supply store to pick up some floating toys for our pool. We all got in and had a great time together, as a family. It didn't matter that I can sit on the bottom of the pool with my head out of the water, it still felt great! There was more than enough water for me to float around on my lounge and the kids and I had a blast making a whirlpool by swimming around and around. We even played a few rounds of "Marco Polo"!

It was relaxing and fun to spend the afternoon cooling off and splashing around in the pool with our kids. I can't wait to get in again tomorrow! Stay cool and take advantage of the simple things in life.

God bless everyone!
