OMG! THE POOL FEELS SO GOOD!!!

well! let me tell you! i haven't felt this relaxed in i don't know when! spent an hour or so in the pool with my granddaughter and i just might get back in there later! if there was ever any doubt in my mind over getting a pool (which i'm not sure there was, but maybe) there isn't anymore! lol just lovely lazing around in the water, sunshine, slight breeze, cool water... oh the joy!

the only other thing i've accomplished today is making appts for the mom's dog and one of our cats at the groomer for monday. boy do they need it! badly! phrankie, our cat, is a persian and he has so much hair it's absolutely horrible for him in the summer! we usually get him a lion cut and then by winter it is grown out enough that he stays warm and by late spring he's ready for another cut! works out well. rudy, mom's dog, is just shaggy looking and that isn't right for any respectable cairn terrier... even if he is a bit too chunky! so we'll get them all spiffed up and pretty.

i'm doing my best to keep things organized so that i can really work in more art time for me and elena before she has to leave at the end of the month. i'm really enjoying spending creative time with her! tomorrow her best friend here in kansas city (just happen to be very good friends with her mom!) is coming over to have some outside pool time and some inside art time. i can't wait! the kids have so much fun together and they only get to see each other a couple times out of the year now that our son and his family have been stationed elsewhere. i do hope elena and laura stay in contact throughout their lives, that would be quite interesting.

ok, i'm off to more productive persuits. have to go switch out the laundry so people have clean towels to dry off with when they get out of the pool! bye for now!
