Diary 122

Saturday, July 18th

Today’s 90+ degrees were predictable and uncomfortable, like our “president’s” actions. The only thing that seemed possible was to fill a small wading pool or two and have the grandkids over to run around in the yard.  FYI: They are my family ‘pod’ and we don’t see anyone else. The water had warmed delightfully in the sun, and the kids had huge amounts of fun splashing any and all adults seated in deckchairs.  Best of all, for them, was to be able to pour water on us, too, which made them explode in laughter every time  — and made us feel delightfully cool. 

Was this a retreat from the serious issues of the day?  Yes. Did it brings smiles to our faces and joy to our hearts.  Definitely.
