Pretty celebrates the 4th of July in our pool with granddaughters Ella and Molly, their first cousin Caleb who shares a large blue noodle with special friend Mary Carter while Caleb’s daddy Seth throws a tennis ball to them. Summer pool regulars Saskia and her son Finn shown in the background keep a close eye on four-year-old Ella making the turn from the deep water toward the steps where the action is.
The smile on Pretty a/k/a Nana’s face equals the joy on Ella’s face whether it is the 4th of July or any other day the two of them are able to find water for a swim. Number One Son Drew, the father of our granddaughters, laughed from his lounge chair in the sun where he is the happiest and said, I sure am glad the water craze skipped a generation.
Daughter-in-law Caroline made my day with homemade peach ice cream that was the most delicious EVER; her twin sister Chloe made equally yummy fresh peach cobbler which luckily had leftovers that were “left over” in our refrigerator for tomorrow’s breakfast.
Life is good for us on this 4th of July – my hope is that wherever you are this holiday weekend, you take a moment to reflect upon the sacrifices made by those who went before us to assert our right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness whether it’s in a swimming pool or watching Wimbledon on ESPN+ from the comfort of a favorite recliner.
Charly and Carl are exhausted from entertaining
Please stay tuned.

Happy 4th of July!
Looks like you had a perfect celebration.
Ludo, the cats and I celebrated quietly inside as close to the air conditioning as possible. We are not handling climate change gracefully.
Enjoy the long weekend.

The only pictures you will find of me, Ann, will be inside our cool house, too! Pretty is in her element in the sun, pool, etc., but I also struggle with climate change temperatures!
No one wants to watch Wimbledon with me this year – even Molly too busy to sit still for my indoor inactivity!! Hope you, Ludo and the cats continue to stay cool however possible!

Even every ceiling fan is on full speed ahead. I think we’ll be ok.
Tennis brings back nightmares for me. I fear you’re truly on your own.
