The Pool Rules
One of my favorite things about living in San Antonio is our neighborhood pool. We’re there almost every weekend, plus a weeknight or two. It’s the largest in the area (other than at the country club, to which we don’t belong – imagine that.)
The water is cool , the neighbors are warm and Julia’s diving is hot.
Here’s what I’ve learned at our neighborhood pool:
10. You can learn to dance by going barefoot on the walk to the car.
9. If you want a dry book, read at the library.
8. A Sonic Route 44 Diet Cherry Limeade tastes best with a dash of chlorine.
7. C-sections really did used to be vertical, didn’t they?
6. Nothing says “roll down the windows” like a forgotten, wet, lotion-greased towel baked in the car overnight.
5. A splashed pizza box and napkins dumped in the trash can is my favorite way to do Friday night dishes.
4. When the middle school boys arrive – it’s time to go.
3. “Woe to she who adjusteth my goggles strap.” 1st Rebecca 6:5
2. I wish everything in my life could smell like Dreamsicle-y Ocean Potion 30.
And the #1 thing I’ve learned:
1. The extra-warm baby pool is to be avoided.
