Millions of people who long for immortality can't figure out what to do with themselves on a rainy Sunday....Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
We had to change our plans yesterday to go to the Kennedy museum because the furniture that Holly and Bevan ordered for Taylor arrived and was delivered.
The furniture store called yesterday morning to say that the truck would be at their house sometime between 1 and 5 p.m. but possibly earlier. I just love how these people give their customers such good service.Â
Basically, that pretty much translates to "look for us sometime within the next twelve hours."
At any rate, they finally showed about 2 p.m. By the time they unloaded and set it up, it was pushing three o'clock. So, instead of going to the museum, we all went to the community pool, which had just opened.
The kids had been bugging us since last Saturday to go swimming and we kept telling them it was "too cold."Â But, we finally gave in.
To say that the water was icy would be an understatement. I stuck my toes in; that was enough for me.
Bevan walked out up to his waist, then declared, "I think if I go in any deeper, I will have a heart attack!"
Holly never even put her toes in. Now, I know why they pay her the big bucks!! She's smarter than we are!!
The kids, of course, made running leaps. All three came up gasping for breath; but they toughed it out until their body temperatures adjusted, playing, splashing, and swimming for the next two hours.
I remember those days when I just couldn't wait for the first swim or the first trip to the lake.
