I’ll be glad when the pool opens next weekend. It will open Saturday but the pool party and cookout will be Monday. Hopefully, my daughter will be able to join me and we’ll get mom down there. It’s a lot of fun. The water will be like needles but that will be welcome in this hot Southern sun. I tried to read in the sun today with my Sangria but it’s too hot even in the shade. It is for me anyway.

I think if the stars align just right, I will take mom to Florida. She’s running out of years to go down there and she does love sitting in the surf right at the edge of the waves. I think I can, I think I can, I think I can. We went to Costco yesterday for hours. That was a test. I passed. Tomorrow we’re going to a large Farmers Market downtown on the hunt for strawberries from a specific state. She’ll need her walker. Another good test. For my capabilities, not hers.

I hope everyone has a peaceful weekend. Hugs to all!
