Summer Gone By

I thought I’d better write something about our summer before it all goes hazy, although this past week has been pretty fuzzy anyway.

Much time was spent at our neighborhood pool. Connor and Harper have made great strides in their swimming and the pool was easily one of their favorite places to go.

We had last been in Bowie in February 2020, so a trip there was a needed one. It was great to see my folks again and for the kids to reconnect with their Grammy and Grandpa. And of course, there was time to be spent at our longtime pool (Belair Swim and Racquet).

We got a Great Pyrenes as well, a 65-pound baby named Willow. It took some adjusting, but we seem to have hit our stride with her now. And, thankfully, she’s not shedding anywhere near like she was in the beginning but getting her layer of hair off the carpet is still a daily affair.

The yearly trip to Fripp Island was another good one. The overwhelming presence of deer was notably absent, but other than that most was the same with the majority of time spent at the pool and beach.
