Even a swimming pool

August 2, 2007 · 18 comments

Stay-home days make my heart feel the goodest. Can we talk about God? God makes beautiful things. Even a swimming pool and water to put in it.

Hattie, it just doesn’t get much better than that, does it?

Aw, Hattie. Your sweet quip made my heart feel the goodest. Thank you.

Sigh. Now that’s a memorable line. Hugs to Hattie Belle.

Even a swimming pool, smiling through grateful tears. Thank you Hattie for this sweet reminder to be thankful, especially for the water in the pool.

This brightens my day before it even begins … our sweet little philosopher, Hattie Belle.

Stay home days make me feel the goodest too.

I want to be little again, and just that sweet. Thanks for the lift Miss Hattie.

Out of the mouth of a babe, no truer words ever spoken. Stay home days are my favorites too, and I need to be reminded from time to time to count my blessings.

Thanks for sharing.

God does make beautiful things. Like swimming pools and ice cream cones…

God makes beautiful things like sweet little girls, too.

God makes swimming pools… Satan makes trampolines. It’s all about the great cosmic recreational balance.

…and don’t forget Cthulhu. He’ll hook you up with a nice set of non-euclidean legos… just to mess with you.

*sniff* That was just beautiful!

He does make beautiful things, doesn’t he?

Like you and yours.

Precious!

Awww…. that may be the sweetest thing I’ve ever read…. :)

Adorable. And I can’t help but agree. On these miserable days where the temperature tops 100 and the humidity is so high I feel like I’m drowning, there is not much that is more beautiful than a swimming pool full of fresh, cool water.
