I did something today that I’ve never done before…and baby, it felt good!
It was 8:00am and I’m out cutting the yard. I don’t know where you are, but I’m in Dallas and it was hot. Not “HOT!” but hot all the same.
Let me put this in perspective: It was eight o’clock in the morning and already 85 degrees, with a projected high of around 102 for the day. To me, that’s hot.
So anyway, I’m cutting the grass on our new, much larger yard. On our old house, cutting the yard took me about 30 minutes. This new and improved bad boy takes me every bit of an hour. Needless to say, when I got done I was HOT and sweating like a pig! I was so hot I was beginning to get a headache.
That’s when I get the idea to jump in the pool.
It’s never occurred to me to do this before, simply because I’ve never had a pool before.
I was headed that direction and started wondering if my sweaty body would get the pool dirty. Then I thought, “Who cares! I mean isn’t that what the chlorine is for?”
I jumped in, crossed my legs, sank to the bottom and sat Indian style on the bottom for what felt like an eternity.
I came up, wiped the water out of my eyes, ran my hands through my hair and I felt incredible.
Yep, I do believe I’ve started a new tradition.

Was that YOU?! Couldn't you look out your side window and see that Mildred and I were still asleep at 8 am for goodness sake? I'm happy for your new found dipping experience but for the love of Pete - can't you start this new ritual around 10 o'clock so the rest of us with sleep disorders and bowel issues can get some much needed beauty rest?
