THE POOL

Wednesday, February 01, 2012
I walked for two hours in the pool at the Legacy Center in Lehi for two hours expecting Bailey to show up for swim team at four. She never showed. I found out later that she and Jayden had a science fair at school.
When I had about twenty minutes to go, one of two girls about 10-12 said hey/hi to get my attention. She smiled and then started splashing me with water. Soon her friend joined in. the one asked me my name. I said “Fred, what’s yours?” She said “Bob.” I asked her friend her name. She said, “Bill.” After a while a friend came along; a boy. I said “What’s his name, Susie?” They said yes.
They chased me until it was time for me to leave.

Funny kids.

THE LATEST

Tuesday, January 31, 2012
Last night for Corey’s birthday we and Corey and his family and Niki and hers met at the Olive Garden in The District for dinner. While we were there Jayden mentioned that he asked Christina out for the sixth grade ball.
Bailey announced that Jacob is as dumb (or stupid or whatever the description was) as a sack of rocks.
Today about 5:20 Jayden called me on my cell phone. He was home alone and bored. He said his mother was about five minutes away heading home. We chatted about this and that and nothing in particular. Finally I asked about the sixth grade ball. I asked when it was. He said it was on the 24th of February. I said “Not on Valentines huh?” He said no but there was going to be a dance then too and he asked Christina out for it also.

GLOOMY DAY

Monday, January 16, 2012
The wind has been blowing out of the north since yesterday sometime. It’s dark and gloomy and you know me; I become depressed or anxious or both. Today both! Then to top it all off my van won’t start (I hope I just left a light on or something.) I got in it to go to lunch with Corey so now, Double Whammy!
No jumper cables. We used to have four sets but one by one they have all disappeared…though, if the garage weren’t so cluttered maybe I would find a set by the white storage units.
It’s Martin Luther King Day and Judy didn’t have to go to work but did so anyway around noon to get some stuff done so I am home alone.
It’s a good thing Jayden and Bailey stayed overnight with Grandpa Wayne because I wouldn’t be able to get them; back to the car problems.

LEHI LEGACY CENTER

Thursday, January 12, 2012
Today like Tuesday I went to the Lehi Legacy Center and walk in (not on) the water for two hours. I got there at a quarter after three so I would be there while Bailey was having her swimming lessons. Today like Tuesday it was hard sledding for the first while and liked Tuesday I was light-headed for a while in the middle of it.
At a quarter after four I went over and waved to Stacey and Bailey. She was zooming right along. Jayden stayed home.
A little girl, smaller than Gavin came up to me, patted my stomach and asked, “Do you have a baby in your tummy?”
When Bailey’s workout was over she came over to where I was swimming and we chased each other around for about half an hour until she had to get out.
