ROWin’ on past the penultimate update!
Have you ever read a blogpost that was written on the deck of a pool, on a warm and breezy Sunday evening, while four young best friends, ages 9 through 13, played in the pool?
Well, if you haven’t, and you’d like to, read on…you can fill in the splashes and laughter, and general silliness (and a little crankiness, because it’s the winding-down part of a long and busy four days of art, play, swimming, talk, and fun. Oh, and not much sleep…
So there’s an air of sadness at the impending parting, and then a long drive home, which will last longer (at least five hours), than any of us might like…
And then, three of us, will be home again…
But, before that, it’s time for….
