Praise the Lord...I'm not saying this lightly. It has been a burden on my mind the two previous summers. The Lord even cares about swimming lessons. I'm looking forward to a summer of safer splashing.

i'm so thankful about this!
After several summers of unsuccessful attempts to get Ingrid into swimming lessons, Ingrid is signed up...and bonus, Ilsa is as well! The idea to call the "Y" was a whim...well at least that what most people might think. But honestly I believe it was the prompting of the Holy Spirit. This HAS been a REAL burden. The session sign-ups opened up yesterday morning at 5:00 am. I called at 11:00 am. They told me I had better scoot down quickly. We got the last two spots, and someone was inquiring on the phone as we signed up, for that specific session. Nope, I don't think that "idea" to call was just an idea.

The human body is very adaptable
We formerly lived in one of the coldest places in North America...not unusual to be sub-zero for weeks on end in January. It was 110 this weekend in Almost Mexico, AND we knew we had to finish our backyard before the upcoming "monsoon" season. (We have this weather phenomenon called the "monsoon" every summer -- no, we don't live in Bali.) It can be perfectly sunny and 110 at noon, and multiple inches of rain dumped down at 4:00 pm, then clear again by 6:00.
We put down 11 tons of "desert brown" 3/8ths inch crushed rock in our backyard this weekend. Surprisingly, it looks really nice -- very finished and groomed. We have a couple of trees, some soft grasses and pretty boulders. Anyway, we had the rock dumped in our driveway on Thursday morning (it was well over 100 that day), schlepped rock Thursday, Friday and Saturday. But we are done!
All of this to say, the human body is very adaptable to climate change. Both of us were surpisingly un-uncomfortable...as long as we kept drinking water.
The best thing about a rock backyard is the new little kiddie pool for the girls -- no grass clippings on their feet, or mud tracked into the house. It's the little things that put a smile on a mom's face.
