May 21, 2011. Jackson, Mississippi. The Afternoon Swim.

Backyard pools are so nice.  Linda, Christina's Mother,  invited us over to swim in her pool, so after Molly's nap, we took her up on her kind invitation.   Just Kate, Molly, and Christina and I went to swim.  Ken hates getting into cool water and Andrew was working in the yard, and Mary Frances was not feeling too well.  The day was hot and sunny, a perfect day for a swim.

Molly was the first one in the water, followed by Kate.  Christina was forced to get wet, as Molly had to be looked after, but it took me a while to get used to the cool water.  Linda's pool is mainly in the shade, which in the heat of the summer is great, but at the beginning of the summer the water is cool.  It was a pleasant swim for all, once you get used to the temperature.

One thing was brought to my mind, and that is,  I still miss our own pool.  It is so pleasant to swim in your own private back yard.  I would love to have our Franklin Street pool somewhere else.   But...you can't have everything!!
