Today?

Was not typical. I flew out fot my granddaughters seventh birthday. Out of my oppressive uncomfortable New England summer, and into some fun.

My son and his family were there to pick me up at 10 am. The party started at three, so lots of time to catch up and get ready. My daughter had it all covered.

Just our family and a couple of friends, a pool, some cake. It was relaxing, refreshing and fun. The cousins played in the water for hours. We stopped for French fries and burgers on the way home. Simple. Kid friendly. Perfect.

It was a day filled with light and sunshine and joy. The echoing laughter of kids in a pool. Of all of us enjoying happy children and each others company.
