Chilly Swim Practice
61 F (16 C) is a little chilly for swim practice, but the boys said the water wasn't cold & did ok!
Are those clouds up against the ridge? I remember looking at that sight so many times from our house...such a familiar sight. I know that has nothing to do with swimming in cold weather, but it was a strange, nostalgic moment to see those clouds in the photo. Strange, because I was surprised how familiar it looked when I hadn't thought about that view for a long time. Happy summer!!
I'm a Brazilian immigrant (used to say expatriate, have problems with this word now), living in the U.S. since 1996 with my husband and two sons (born in March 2002 and May 2004). I'm a mother, first and foremost, -- mamãe in my mother-tongue, hence the (e) of the blog title -- but after "ten years and two sons" I finally finished my Ph.D. in literature in 2008. After six years away from teaching (including a year home/cyber schooling my sons - 2009-10), I'm finally back in higher-education. I've been blogging here for eleven years, so welcome to my site and feel free to stay for a while and look around. Our lives are a roller coaster, never lacking in ups and downs! ;-)
