Swimming pools and water wings … in the early years of grade school I lived in fear of swim parties. Growing up in that part of Northern California made these an expected thing. Not everyone had a pool of course, but usually a few in the class did, and a swim party almost by definition meant that everyone in the class would be invited.
Growing mastery on all fronts. But who am I to say a thing like that? IMHO then. But I love the reading(s) unconditionally.
Thank you, Alfred-Patrick! So glad to see you here in the comments!
