We live down the road from a house that has two horses and some smaller horses. Often the smaller horses are away from the road but the two horses they own can come close to the road. When they see us, usually they stop what they are doing and come...
Saturday we had as much of the family as we could assemble for a swim/picnic day. Not everyone is shown here, for some reason. I know Jenny and Miquel arrived late, when I had baby Harley, I was holding her in the pool and not a time to grab...
Now, when I say beside the pool, I mean BESIDE the pool. We have a pool, and it’s a blessing to have one. Even after all the labor that is involved with opening it, closing it, maintaining it, it’s wonderful to have a pool. The thing is, we live on...
Today while at the post office, apparently I was standing next to something of a celebrity. Mike Massey is the 2000, 2002, and 2003 World Artistic Pool champion, the 2000 and 2001 Trick Shot Magic champion, and the 2003 WPA World Artistic Pool Jump Shots champion. He began performing trick...
Today was a “Cammy Day” as we call them, and being summer, swimming in the pool was definitely a highlight scheduled for the day. Now Cammy being older, knows how to do a lot more in the pool than Silas and of course RubÃ. Rubà is not yet enchanted with...
This year Laura completes her last year of high school. We couldn’t let the occasion pass without a party!
After way too many years, Flavio stopped by for a quick visit with Lucas and Ryan. In typical 90+ degrees Maryland summer heat, the natural thing to do was to invite them for a swim. The boys jumped right in. Flavio avoids being decapitated as Silas “cleans” the pool. Water...
While Enric, Miranda, and Silas is here, my sister and family brought Aiden and Conner for a visit. Conner got to know the new baby kitty. Silas and the boys had some fun at the pool. Conner and Aiden got to help feed baby kitty Jasper. Jasper is growing up...
Technically, it’s not the end of summer, but school has begun for most, and signals the end of summer vacation. With that in mind, mom and I told the kids to invite their friends for a party. After days of preparation, the party day started for me at 6 AM,...
Conner also enjoyed his day at the pool. He is such a happy smiley baby. And what is more fun than a wheelbarrow ride?  An after swim cuddle is nice too….
We had the blessing that Linda, Roger, and Kim brought Dennis, Aiden, and Conner to come spend a day at the pool with us. It’s been good to watch these boys grow and thrive. Aiden is like a charging bull, but he is so much fun. He enjoyed his day...
When Laura and I made our trip to Wisconsin, we saw an item in the SkyMall catalog on the plane for a floating light for a swimming pool. Today, as we needed something for the pool, we went to the pool store and found the same light, but for about...
