I really, really wish we had a private swimming pool. I love swimming but haven't been in probably 15 years (since before having kids). Well, I take that back - when we went to Louisiana when Nathan was almost two I got in the Gulf a couple of times but you couldn't really *swim* it was more just walking around in the water.

I would love to go to that area in Louisiana sometime!
I miss having Lake Erie in my backyard growing up. Our house was not all on its own but there was enough space between houses. As a result, you really had your own little beach and water area without feeling like you had to cross paths with the neighbors if you didn't want to. We had a dock and boat to take off in whenever we wanted to. It was the best. |

I think people's preferences vary regarding where they swim. Lots of people prefer a pool to an ocean or a lake.
Do you guys have preferences? |

Sounds fabulous, Mich!
Our trip to LA was by far my favorite family vacation we've taken. It was just so relaxing and fun. We went with another couple that have a daughter Dana's age and a son a bit older. The kids played hard all day and then once they were asleep the adults would sit out on the deck and talk half the night. There was a little store within about a half block that sold frozen adult beverages so we'd walk over and get some drinks and just have a great time talking and not doing anything at all. ETA - Betty, I prefer a pool for swimming because I don't like stepping on stuff I can't see but like I said, I haven't been in a pool in over a decade. __________________

Your trip sounds fabulous, Taryn!
I prefer a lake because it's what I had in my backyward. lol It was also crystal clear, blue, water. It was lovely. I don't love going in the ocean. It's too loud, though I love watching the ocean from a distance. However, even if I know statistically a shark is not going to bite or come that close to the beach, it still happens and that fact scares me. I just feel nervous. So I prefer a clear lake like Lake Erie or a pool. Off topic, but I was texting with my younger niece just now. She scored a goal tonight at her soccer game and was telling me about it. She made me promise I would go watch her game on Thursday. We were saying goodnight. Both my nieces were just starting to watch Pretty Little Liars and she asked me why I didn't tell her I loved her. lol I told her I was sorry, I forgot to say that but that's mostly because I love her so much, sometimes it even goes without saying. It was all I could think to say and she goes, "Stop it, Aunt Michelle, I want to see the I love you when we say goodbye on text every time, please." It was so cute. Honestly, I think that was the first time I forgot to tell her that on text, on the phone or in person when we're saying goodbye. The first time, EVER, in over a decade and she nails me for it.

Jerry glad that you are OK. Sorry that you are busy with work. I hope that soon it will be over.
Betty as a matter of fact I won't go to any group physical activity. I'm not good in practicing sports (I have no coordination) so if I go to such group I will need more time to get a hang of it and I will be always in the spot and I hate this. For that reason I won't go to swimming courses or dance courses or whatever. It's just not for me. That being said I also avoid swimming pools. At least in my country there is enough bacterias in the water (there is of course in the ocean too, but there is some water movement there) and of course the chlorine they use. The bacterias give pretty good bladder infections (especially in dependence with some normal monthly body processes in the female body) and the chlorine pretty much f***s up my eyes. So no thank you. I stay away from them. Aside this I've been about to almost drawn when I was a kid. I was pulled out of the water by my parents so this bothers me too. Either way swimming with a lot of people is so not my thing. Michelle your niece is so adorable! So cool that you have such relationship! __________________

Yes, with public pools I've always wondered if the little kiddies were peeing in the pool and it grossed me out. lol |

Though I'm sure when I was a little tyke, I could have done that too. I can't confirm or deny. LOL Yes, for as Introverted as I am, I loved playing sports. I just think it was because it was my art. I have few talents but sports is one of them or the only one, haha. For that reason, I enjoyed being around people in order to go with some God-given ability. Does that make me a Sports Extrovert? Nope, just crazy. |
