EVERYTHING IS GOING SWIMMINGLY

WATERY WEDNESDAY .  Click the links. 

 

We are human *beings* not human *doings* lately.  This is a good state to be in right now, especially in this hot weather.  But it is not very bloggable! 

We have pulled the boat and put it in storage for the season.  Just in case a tropical storm decides to visit North Fort Myers while we are away.  (And we do plan to leave the resort one of these days, really we do!) 

We have shopped, cleaned, kept appointments, visited and shared meals with friends and neighbors who live here in the park year-round.  We are finishing the bathroom/laundry room building project.  We have read, e-mailed, blogged, and walked.   And sorted stuff for storage while we're gone.

And I've been swimming.  The Upriver swimming pool is now pretty much my private pool -- two other ladies and I are the only ones who ever use it.    Not as much company, but there are advantages.   I'm one of those people who can't walk and chew gum at the same time, so during the season I have to keep my eyes open and watch where I'm swimming, lest I crash into some unsuspecting fellow senior-citizen.  This time of year, I can swim on my back or float and meditate with no danger to anyone but myself.  

It's a quiet life, but a good one -- as long as I don't crash into a pool wall.

Human beings?? Here I always thought we were human beans! lol

Reading your post and seeing the swimming pool with nobody in it made me feel peaceful. I'm starting to think that I'm not a summer person.... too much to do, too much lushness and I feel like I'm being pulled in too many directions. Would you like some cheese and crackers with my "whine"?

Phillip has a lovely inground pool at his house, but has been visiting the municipal pool so he can go off the high dive. He had to swim the length of the pool to earn a "deep pass" and now he's allowed to dive all he wants.

I'm sorry I haven't been here more often, but think of you often.

I love your description of the quiet life. Just reading about floating and meditating in the water made me take a big sigh. I can see that it will be sad to leave your Florida home. But then, there is that open road.

The pool looks divine Sallie!
With the heat wave we're having it would be nice.

I'm laughing because my husband always bumps into people in the pool. He'd love to have it all to himself.

I had a swimmingly day, too. In the lake.

Lucky you to have that pool just about all to yourself. It looks so refreshing on this hot,humid day!

I guess there are some advantages to hanging around after most have left. Just make sure your out of there before a hurricane hits. On second thought, maybe your like me and enjoy a little excitement now and then.
