Besides going to a couple of Boo's swimming lessons I have never "hung out" at Stansbury swimming pool in the nineteen yrs we've lived here. Our kids were teenagers when we moved in and would rather swim in the lake.
Today Chels swam with Emma & Boo, and Carole and I just sat back and gabbed and enjoyed the sun rays like we were at the country club. .
It brought back such good memories of my childhood in a small town in KS where we lived at the swimming pool every summer. I have memories of my mom and siblings and aunts and cousins all there and the really good looking life guard named George who lived in CO in the winter and returned every summer. All the older woman used to "swoon" over him! Our last summer in KS I was there so much they hired me. (I think I was 11, can you say child labor? Not sure if I even got paid or just got to swim for free) One of the best summers of my youth. And I'll have to ask my mom if she remembers any gossip on old George.
In my next life I'll hang out at the local swimming pool more. |
