W is for Water









This refreshing break is brought to you by Alphabe-Thursday's letter "W".

Please click here to visit the rest of the links! And dry your feet off before you walk across my floor, please!

PS I tried to segue this into my W post but even my freak brain can't do it...so....lovely Christina over at Fresh, Local and Best asked if I would mention she is doing an All-Clad pan giveaway and she'd love it if you'd go over there and enter...just click here to get there! Thanks so much! Make sure to look at her newer post, too. She has a great list featured about foods and chemicals. It is really interesting.

  4. I loved the photo of the grand with the bucket on her head! It's gonna be a scorcher here today. Sure could use your pool.

  5. That pool looks so refreshing but I would want it lukewarm. I think, if I had one handy, I might try water aerobics, Jenny.

  12. Sometimes I really miss our pool. When we lived inland we had one and my kids were in it from morning till night. We do however, have the ocean now and it's not to shabby either. My oldest daughter and her kids still live inland and they miss the pool most of all. They get down here to the beach but, it's a 30 minute drive so not as often as when we were 5 minutes away! Have a great summer, and keep writing. You always entertain me.

  19. Gotta love summer! My daughter is taking swimming lessons this week, and nothing beats the smell of sunscreen and pool after she gets out. I can almost get the wafts of these smells just from looking at the photos of your adorable grandkids!

    ReplyDelete
  20. HappY! HappY! JoY! JoY! Good opportunity to soak up some rays!

    ReplyDelete
  21. It's so humid here I almost did a water post for W too. The only place in the entire state that feels comfortable is the swimming pool. (or maybe the inside of the freezer.)

    ReplyDelete
  22. They are the cutest!!

    AZ is just like living in Florida, it is considered child cruelty to NOT have a pool.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Hi!
    The girls look like they are having a fabulous time. Love the picture with the bucket on her head, cute. Have a great day!

  26. Water is such a fun thing when you're a little kid. Lovely pics! They're so cute. :)

    ReplyDelete
  27. On sweltering hot days such as this (100+) I could use a refreshing dip in your pool. I'm grabbing my towel and will be right over!

    ReplyDelete
  28. I could use a dip in that pool! Cute kiddos. Think they'll mind if I hog their swimming space?

    ReplyDelete
  29. The top pic of that little grand looks just like Mrs. Matlock!

    ReplyDelete
  32. And here was you, trying to make us believe that looking after your grandchildren was incredibly hard work :p
    I envy you having a pool in your garden (and the weather to make it worthwhile!).

    ReplyDelete
  33. Wow! I think I could handle the hot weather if I had such a wonderful water source and lovely setting! Just bring me a glass of sweet tea!

    ReplyDelete
  34. Fun fun fun! We had a pool growing up and I sorely miss being able to walk out the back door and go swimming.
    What a refreshing W post!

    ReplyDelete
  35. I can't see what I am typing. I think I broke my laptop screen when I tried to dive in! Its over 100 here and HUMID! My hair looks like I was electrocuted!!

  39. What refreshing and hilarious pictures.

    Thanks for the prayer. It wasn't a big thing. We just had to give our kitty a new (hopefully happy) home due to allergies. Hard to believe how attached one can get to a furball. :D

  40. Thanks for the sweet comment on my blog and for being newest follower!

  43. The bucket makes her look like an old-fashioned scuba diver.
    110 today. Are ya ready?

    ReplyDelete
  44. I especially love the face in the bucket! You are so lucky to have a pool! I guess it is a necessity in Arizona!

    ReplyDelete
  45. I see so much of you Jenny in the first granddaughter's photo!

  46. Wish my pool looked so nice! Glad the know there are times when even you can't come up with something!

    ReplyDelete
  47. There is nothing cuter than little girls in swim suits and little girls in summer dresses. Two of my favorite things. You've got some great smiles there.

    ReplyDelete
  48. ...if the screen were a bit bigger, I think I could dip my feet into the pool, hang on....trying....

    ReplyDelete
  49. Cute little water babies you've got over there!

    =)

    ReplyDelete
  50. Ah Jenny, I've missed you!!!! Not because you're gone, but because life is crazy!!!! I'm 2 weeks behind in your lovely story and hope to catch up soon!
    Wouldn't it be nice to have an extra 24 hours once a month that was all to oneself?????
    Anyway, thought I'd say hi!!

    ReplyDelete
  51. Very refreshing! Such cute girls. Love the tupperware or is it rubbermaid?

    ReplyDelete
  52. We got to go swimming today for the first time since living in a hotel...so it's been about 3 months. it was great!

    It's just not summer until you have gone swimming!

  55. Lovely happy photos! We are spending time every day in the pool thanks to the heat which is so much fun but is not doing my hair or skin any good at all and my feet are beyond acceptable for displaying to the world :-)

    ReplyDelete
  56. Definitely a refreshing W post! Can you get these little lovelies to be any cuter?? Love their action shots with the buckets. When we had a pool and ours were about 10,7 & 4, they did the whole "secure a bucket on the pool ladder and swim down under to get some air" trick! (Little did I know this dangerous feat of theirs! I learned about it years later...um...recently, in fact!)

    Blessings & Aloha!
    Oh dear!!!! I''m late, I'm late, I'm late for...my W assignment! I am working on it and finishing it now!

    ReplyDelete
  57. They look like they are having a lot of fun. Is this your pool?

    ReplyDelete
  58. It looks like you girls are having a blast this summer!! I LOVE the bucket deep sea helmet:) That's classic!! The best times I had in the summer as a kid were in the pool and hanging with my Granmama:) You're so cool! Hope you have recovered from your big toe accident:) he he great story!

    ReplyDelete
  59. I took my kids to the community pool today...yours is way better. Wish we lived closer. Hahaha. Super cute pictures.

    ReplyDelete
  60. I can no longer look at pictures of the three of them in one post and not think of Tales From Home.

    They are soooooooooo cute!

    ReplyDelete
  61. we have been on the road for a couple of weeks now and i would like nothing more than to jump in a nice cool pool. it has been sooooo hot! refreshing indeed

    ReplyDelete
  62. The water looks so refreshing, and your granddaughters look so happy with that bucket.

    ReplyDelete
  63. I love a swimming pool on a hot day. I hope to have my own one day. No one has pools in my town...well there are 2 and they are indoor! Too many trees =, not enough sun

    ReplyDelete
  64. Simply wonderful! We have been spending a lot of time at the pool this year (with swim team becoming part of our lives) this has been a wonderful experience for Lauren...She couldn't swim the length of the pool at the beginning of the season and she now has a bucket full of ribbons! What a confidence builder, what a great team experience -

    ReplyDelete
  65. Very cute bathing beauties.
    My husband just had a test and interview at All Clad! They make that stuff in Canonsburg, Pa. If he gets this job, I can move closer to my sister.

    ReplyDelete
  66. Jenny, your grans have just the greatest smiles ... love the photos! It must be such a hoot just watching all of that spontaneous joy erupt!
