I truly have no idea how, though doing it every day seems to be necessary.

He is at the stage Elizabeth's Oliver was when I started following her, and now Oliver is almost a man! Owen, slow down!

We Floridians are wimps but honestly- swimming in water that is twenty degrees cooler than body temperature is as cold as I want to get and it's very, very refreshing.

If there is lots of wildlife, you know the water is good. That's my theory at least.

Then we watched some old people 20 minutes later when it was in a little further just leaping straight in without hesitation. Sigh. <br /><br />But also, motherfuckin' brrr! <br /><br />No alligators, though. *faint* Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08988685736635515808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-14189000065380374972018-06-05T10:46:20.615-04:002018-06-05T10:46:20.615-04:00if only I had a river near. well, I do, the Colora...if only I had a river near. well, I do, the Colorado, silty, not clear which is fine and not the problem. the problem is that there isn't a place where people can go and sit on the banks or the river.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-59421148268548818352018-06-05T07:16:49.319-04:002018-06-05T07:16:49.319-04:00Beverly Hills tea has prosseco instead of coca col...Beverly Hills tea has prosseco instead of coca cola so kicks ass even more.

What a glorious day you had. Loving it vicariously. Hot here too for England obvs you would laugh and light a fire. But new found abilities due to own research and dumping both drugs and docs took me out to a pub. Rejected first one due to no AC lol and went to cocktail bar. Had 2 from the American list Aviation Cocktail and Beverly Hills version of Long Island Tea which l suspect is a Brit invention. Was glorious. So nice to go out. Walking the short distance nearly put me in a facility so l think you are good. Love your day and pics Maggie is like an advanced human in my view. All your grands are grand but she just has something beyond. Am rambling blame it on the cocktails. Love Maggi xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
