the best kind of tuesday

 Not much on the calendar, just a trip to the little pool.

She forgot her bathing suit this morning, so I called Heidi and asked, "Is there a code or a key, any way to get in your house to get a bathing suit?"

No, there really is not.

So we stopped by Target on the way to the pool and bought a new suit on clearance.

Julia said she's never giving up her old bathing suit no matter what, not even with the twisty elastic we always have to fix.

 Raiding the grandma's purse for gum.

This is Larry with Sidney who loves him sooo much.   Ever since he was first around here some years ago, she knew he was her guy.

 

This is a picture of Tim which he was being a maniac and wouldn't cooperate or smile. There fine, Tim.  You look like a ghost.  Hope you're happy.

And that's the end of now, the first week of August, storms moving through.  We sat on the patio in the dark for a while, enjoying the fresh air after the rain, watching Julia do her highest jumps off the back steps, thankful for summer evenings.

love you all so, Val
