Hunter's Moving On!


Love texting.
Receiving pictures.
We're not there but can see what's happening.
Hunter's moving into his dorm room with a high school buddy.
Friley Hall.
 

 

Last Rose of Summer


We spent some time at the Rose Garden
 where Landon could play Pokémon Go on his computer.
I followed the butterflies and bees in the garden.
 

Too much magnification but just wanted to show my busy bee.

Summertime...and the living is fishy


I'm a "Poolie."
That's what Becky Blackman, the pool manager,
calls those of us who volunteer to help her check the quality
 of the water in our West Park pool.
Every weekday at 5 p.m., I enter the code to the mechanical room,
read the meter and write the numbers in the big yellow book.
Water is checked by "Poolies" four times a day.


Landon says he is growing his hair to look like a surfer dude.
Landon spent a few days in the pool this summer
 One day, the numbers looked off so I texted Becky.
 She headed to the pool and saw that the chlorine line had gone dry.
I was rewarded with a text, "Excellent volunteering!!!"
Who knew something so simple could bring me such pleasure!
Retirement.
