Morning's Light

CUTE

Saturday morning, a phone call.  "Catherine wants to know if you'll take her swimming, to dinner and a movie?" (Catherine being the 8 year old daughter of my friend Kathy.)  We make arrangements to meet up at the gym so Catherine and I can enjoy the family pool (which includes three pools in the children's section, a huge, twisty water slide, and a therapy pool) before going to dinner at Noodles & Co. and then seeing "Beverly Hills Chihuahua". 

At the pool, little miss catherine decides we're going to race – four lengths of the therapy pool.  As we're halfway across the pool, she says from a swimming-on-her-back-position, "Hey – You can do ANYTHING!!" and I smiled at this spot of encouragement from the girl.  That smile was short lived as Catherine soon clarified, "You can swim on your back, or like this, or run…"  Oh.. she meant "You can DO anything" ..to get to the other side.

We had quite the afternoon and evening, and I just received word that Catherine has requested to go swimming and to a movie with me "EVERY WEEKEND!!!!".  Cute!

KITCHEN

Here's a kitchen that jumps out at me. Perhaps it's the bright colors that pop against the white appliances.
