Getting lots of use out of the pool during this hot, hot summer. That’s my sister’s granddaughter in the warm and wooly Dora hat. It was 90 degrees outside but she insisted on wearing it, even in the pool! I’ve been reading quite a bit this summer, doing some writing again, and working toward self-publishing one of my books. Favorite Aunt Janet keeps asking me about my novels and bugging me to, “put something in print so I can actually hold it in my hands and read it!” So that’s what I’m going to do, but don’t tell her, I want her to be surprised when she opens a package from Amazon next month and pulls out my book!

Hi there! Long time no “see.” I didn’t know you were working on a book. Very exciting!
I wish we had a pool. We are in So Cal and our yard is huge but we just don’t have the money for such things right now. Luckily, The Girl gets to swim for 2+ hrs at camp every day.
Take care of yourself.
Oh my goodness, what a wonderful collage of a fun summer day! Baby is just too cute with that purple and pink Dora hat!.
Congratulations on your book. That’s exciting!
wow, you’ve been doing some good things. congratulations on the book. It’s good to hear from you again. Thanks for stopping by.
I love the photo of the baby with the hat in the pool!
So great to hear from you, Lilli. Sounds like you are having a nice summer despite the heat. Stay cool –and keep in touch.
Hugs,
Betsy
Welcome back! Glad you’re still actively writing, reading, and photographing.
I have serious pool envy. And “hot summer” envy. Oh, and hat envy. Gorgeous photographs, really capture a fun family time.
Lovely pool, ours is green after being away in vacation. Best wishes to you and your book. I’d love to read it. I like your story about the blank white paper your Dad used to bring home, much like our cardboard boxes we used for creating our homes as kids. Thanks for stopping by my site.
