SUMMER TIME AND THE LIVING IS EASY
Today was the day Ember and I planned to go to Fountain City Park. For those of you not familiar with Fountain City Park it was one of my kids favorite places to play when they were small. Every kid I ever had (mine plus the 15 foster children) have all had their turn on the swings at the Park. Oh and I have also had my turns. Believe it or not I can still fit in the swing seats. And what would be a trip at Fountain City Park without a walk in the creek. I wish I had remembered to take some shoes to walk in the water but I didn't so I wasn't able to stay in the water long because all of the tiny pebbles were hard on the ole feet. But next time I will try to remember to take my water shoes. The water is still clear and cold. Brought back many memories. When I was young our church used to have a lot of rummage sales and would sell food at the Lion's Club Building to raise money for building the church. I have also attended many showers and family reunions at the Lion's Club. The park has an excellent walking trail. After a lot of playing for Ember we went to the Fountain City Art Center. I picked up a list of classes they offer and the lady talked to me about doing some volunteer work there. They are having a Watercolor Class for beginners starting in September so I may sign up for that. I hadn't been in the building since it was the Fountain City Library. The receptionist told me that although it has been 12 years since the library built a new building and moved people still come in thinking it is the library. Our kids spent many hours there when they were little. I guess Byron checked out Hop on Pop 20 times or more. After that Ember and I met Josh and Amanda for lunch at Chick Fil A. More playing in the play area there. After we parted ways I returned some library books and decided to go out to Halls to get my car tags renewed. Did you know the County Clerk office has moved? Well I didn't. But they have moved into the old Walmart shopping center. I took one look in the window and it looked like every seat was taken and more people going in. Not for me today. I still have 30 days to get my tags. I am sure most were there to renew tags that were due in May and this was the last day to get them. So came on home and made a few calls about some more classes at Hobby Lobby. They gave me the number of a lady that does

the quilting classes and she talked to me for 25 minutes. After that I called Halls Library because they are offering a free computer class on Thursday. I have taken 3 or 4 classes but I always learn something new. I was making my reservation when my computer and phone both went out. Had to call back on my cell but after talking with Byron he said it sounded like my modem had been disconnected. Believe it or not I was able to fix it. Had a dinner date with my sister June and we decided to go to El Chico's because I told her I needed to get back on my diet tomorrow and she said well before you do we need to go to El Chico's. Of course I didn't argue with her because she is older than me and your not suppose to argue with your sister especially if she is older than you. And it was so delicious. Oh for Summer time when the living is easy.
