This weekend has been tranquil. David and I got in the pool Friday night. Boy was it cold however my dream of being the first in was realized. I haven’t felt a shock like that since Sliding Rock in North Carolina.
Saturday morning Kimmie, Mom and I went shopping for impatience. David is really getting into gardening. It gives him something to fill his time. Andrew’s birthday gift was a vegetable garden with seeds of his choice. The yard is picking up shape indeed.
Then we were off to Wekiwa Springs State Park to canoe. We had a blast! At first it was hairy but rhythm was found quickly with the teams. Within 10 minutes Seth and Andrew ran Megan and John, Megan’s boyfriend, into the weeds. Game on. The splash fights, racing, crashes, wildlife plus family time was well worth it. After the kids cooled off swimming in the hot spring. What a blessing to have such a resource so close to home.
David’s memory is slowly fading. When we went to the gym the other day they asked him to write our address. He didn’t remember and started writing the address of our home that burnt down almost a year ago until I spoke the current one. It hurt my heart.
By the way Seth has learned a new skill. Spinning a book on his finger while walking. What a chick magnet he is becoming. It is impressive in a bizarre kind of way. He believes it will help him get an after school job as a waiter. We do encourage the children to have goals but this isn’t quite what we had in mind. C’est la vie.
Ha ha about Seth! A chick magnet indeed! Don't you find having teens and their goofball humor can be a stress relief at times! I will write more....I am sending you an email. :)
