Summer is not over yet ......

We had a pretty rainy beginning of summer, but July and August have been perfect for swimming and enjoying the backyard. The pool has been crystal clear and the water temperature perfect.

I will be leaving Friday to visit family, and, sadly, when I come back swimming season will most likely be over.

We are very excited to meet our granddaughter end of September. Fran is feeling well, maybe a tad exhausted, she has been on many outings with Simon.
