A good time was had --now and again--by all--as is usually the case when children are involved. Lots of laughter, some tears. Both of the girls took swimming lessons this year, but were a little "freaked" by the lake itself, as their experience has all been in a swimming pool. However, fun soon took over and even Samantha was willing to play a little in the water. Jessica was like a little water rat, but only if she was allowed to use a small blow up safety tube. We spent most of the evenings playing Oh Shit! and a bit of cribbage. Jessica loved being able to say Oh Shit! and not be chastized, and we just ignored it, rather than making an issue of it. I was pleased that she was able to play, actively. Samantha loved rolling the dice out of a dice cup, but usually got bored after a few rounds and went to play with her Polly Pockets ( little dolls).
It was hot! I actually have a sun burn-- for the first time in years.
But now we're home and will have to get back into the routine. In the "It never rains but it pours" department, Shaw has now informed us that we are required to upgrade to HD tv. Well, we got a converter some time ago, and found that it wasn't compatible with our tv. So now we either give up cable tv, and possibly our internet service, or we buy a new tv.
Today I'm grateful for the privilege of seeing two Sandhill Cranes in a roadside field on our way home.
