Yesterday was another sweltering one in St. Louis, although some of the moisture had blown away and the temperature was a few degrees cooler than Friday.
Mom and I had a good time going through the Dollar Tree store near her apartment. I had never been in a store like that, and it was startling to see how many things could be purchased for under a dollar. I ended up buying a 3-pack of mints and three DVDs, each for 99 cents.
Al and I paid a visit to Gary, Jen, Walt, and Eli in the early afternoon, and what fun we had! Those charming boys were giggling and laughing during the entire visit. We sprawled on the floor with their wooden train set, played catch with the soft football, and talked teaching with Gary and Jen (in between football tosses). They are obviously a happy and comfortable family.
Around 4:00, we went up to Webster Pool for an afternoon of fun. Marie and her children joined us and we had a wonderful time together. The sun descended and the air cooled nicely, making the swimming about as enjoyable as it can be. Al splashed around with Grace almost the entire time, and her constants shouts and laughs echoed happily around the pool.
