Doing Some Damage
I love to float:
When the water is the perfect temperature and the sun is shining down, I love floating along, splashing water on my face and legs from time to time. Today was wonderful. Tomorrow, people will see just how wonderful it was for me. Why? I got a tad too much sun on my face. I know. I should be wearing sunscreen, but I never think about that until after the fact. On the other hand, I can save time putting my make-up on since I won’t have to worry about the blush part!
Here is Ashley and her friend Ali:
You will probably recall Ali from the last photo on THIS post. She’s a great little girl. She’s very smart and able to carry on a conversation. She spent her summer in Utah and was telling us how all the kids who lived in the cul de sac played games at night. She said they played a game called Ghost in the Graveyard (I could swear I remember playing this as a child), Steal the Flag, The Judge and the Jury and others. I loved hearing about these nighttime games.
I grew up in a big, old house (my parents still live there) and when my aunt and uncle would come over, we would sometimes turn out every light in the house and play hide and seek. It was a BLAST! Lori-Lyn you and Tracy must try this in your big house because it’s loads of fun. Sometimes while hiding in the pitch black, I would feel like laughing so hard I thought I would pee my pants. Seriously.
There is an elementary school that sits right next door to a middle school here in town. Several times we played hide and seek out there with my aunt and uncle. It’s too bad for hide and seek that mom and dad have such nice furnishings now; we could never hide these days without tipping over an antique lamp or a curio cabinet filled with collectibles.
I was telling mom about this conversation today and she remembered one time in particular when we played hide and seek. She said the kitchen window was open and it had a screen in it, so she sat in the window and pulled the curtains in order to hide herself. This was an awesome idea until the window decided to come down on her head! OUCH! She’s still surprised it didn’t do some kind of permanent damage.

Would you believe that Tracy and Woody play hide and seek? They don't turn off the lights - but it does get a little crazy.

I'm almost sure that I am that aunt you are speaking of. I did tinkle several times while playing hide and seek. Our Mom,(Dennis and I), played it once with all of us at the age of 55 and yes, she tinkled too! Some of our happiest memories over the years comes from that big ole house. The little red headed boy with the big round blue eyes wanting me to get into Sharon's walk in closet and play with toy dishes melts my heart to think about.

Ok, Missy, just because you are getting in shape and skinny don't mean that I want my husband looking on here seeing more than those legs and feet!!! You just keep that camera pointed in the feet direction and everything will be fine. hahahah. You're doing great and I'm very proud of you. Exercising and watching your food intake is not an easy task. You are very fortunate that you have a husband like Kevin that is so easy going and trys very hard to please you and goes along with what you like and want. My hats off to the both of you!

Your "I like to float" made me think of Stephen King's It. LOL "We all float down here..."
