I’m presenting half of this picture as a metaphor for our summer.
It’s mostly developed. Pretty much there. More or less visible.
But not quite.
We have a lot of Plan Bs. IF all else fails, we can spend the day in the pool.
IF the kids get sick of our pool, there are the seven zillion neighborhood pools with slides and diving boards and beaches and rock formation slides.
IF those don’t work, there’s always a house down on the island for a day or two.
And let’s not forget our summer trip to the Midwest to see the kids’ grandparents.
So, like this rough sketch of Elisabeth, I’m happy to announce that our summer is looking up.
Oh, and also looking very, very warm.
