Summer Stock Sunday


Swim noodles are seen all over the pool, blue ones, pink ones, yellow ones. The kids and adult use them for floating in the pool. But this mom and son have found a new fun use for them. :)
If you've never seen a swim noodle here's a definition:
The Water Noodle, Swim Noodle, Pool Noodle, Noodle Chair, foam roller what ever you call it, is a flexible, Fun-In-The-Sun water toy and exercise float that has unlimited uses. People of all ages will have fun just noodling around with it. The Wacky Noodle can be used for floating, splashing, making waves, exercising, or riding like a seahorse. Possible uses are limited only by ones imagination.
Go visit Robin who is the host of Summer Stock Sunday.

Weekend Reflections


Oh dear! I'm running out of reflections in my photo archives! Here is a shot of early Spring - you can see some ice in the little brook. I like the reflections of the trees and ducks though.
James is the host of Weekend Reflections. Go visit Newtown Area Photo for more great shots!
SOOC Sunday
The Manhattan Bridge
We were on our way to our grand-nephew, Jarome's, pre-K graduation at NYU. So we had to cross the Manhattan Bridge which is the sister bridge to the Williamsburg Bridge.
I took this shot from the passenger seat in the car.
Go visit Jan at Murrieta 365 and see other SOOC Sunday participants

Postcard Friendship Friday


Two saltbox houses where John Adams and John Quincy Adams (house on the left) were born. Both in Quincy, Mass.
Painted by G.N. Frankenstein, 1849. (No relation to the Dr. or the monster)
They are open to the public on the main floors. We visited last Saturday.

Summer Stock Sunday & SOOC Sunday



I thought I could post this shot for both Summer Stock Sunday and SOOC Sunday.
When the wind whipped up, and two umbrellas at different times flew off the pool deck, the powers-that-be told the pool attendants to remove the unbrellas from their poles.
That didn't bother the guys with the feet on the lounge chairs...
