Oh wow! Look I'm posting again.

Today I felt like a little kid again. It was one of those Saturdays I used to have, at least the first part of it.

I slept in til 11 with mom getting after me to get up and help with the housework. After the work was done, steph and I went "exploring" up the creek and found a nice deep place to swim. And then, when we were done we came up to the house and sat on the sidewalk out front, wrapped in our swim towels (which have very much meaning in and of themselves*) and licked our popsicles as the sun warmed us up again and our popsicles began to drip. It was great. Wonderful afternoon followed by wonderful evening. I had a good day!

*Swim towels are those big brightly colored beach towels. When all of us were little we had to go through swimming lessons at a neighbouring private pool. We loved it. And we had these special towels that we used only then.The lessons were always in the morning and the pool was heated but as soon as you got out it was cold. The towels had been sitting in the sun and were nice and warm to dry you off. I know it sounds weird but that's what those towels remind me of.
