Summer Swimming

Cheese

She Painted her nails at the pool.  Some girls and there mom were painting their nails, and she introduced herself and joined right in.

We have had a great time swimming this summer.  Our community pool is at the end of our street, by the playground.  I feel blessed to be in such a great little community.

  We have wonderful neighbors:  Juan and Susan bring us fresh fish, popcorn, and slushies.  They have made us sopapillas, funnel cake, and menudo.  Juan helped build our garden, cuts our grass, trims our trees, and does anything else he sees we might need.  There are many days I wake up and look out our window, and see Juan on his hands and knees working in our yard.  They are incredible.  When they went on a trip, they brought Isabelle and James each a cute outfit. James says that Juan is one of his "guys".   We just love them.
 
   Robin is also great.  She  lets the kids pick strawberries, and gave Isabelle a sunflower "all her own".  She comes over to talk while I'm outside, or working in the garden.  She always has a smile and a helping hand, and is really sweet with Isabelle and James.  She brought them over little toys the other day, just for fun.

  Chris and Alicia are fabulous too.  They just got married, and have a cute family.  They are soooo great with the kids, and Chris loves to garden too.  We have a great time talking plants, and he gives us starts of all kinds to plant.  I just planted a strawberry plant today.

   Luz and her husband (I can't pronounce his name correctly yet) are fun too.  He makes the most beautiful tables, planters, and most anything else out of ROCK.  they are amazing. 

We have many other wonderful neighbors, and I see that I could go on and on.  I continue to feel blessed to be where I am.
