Let's Do That Again

Have you been to Kits Pool? (Kitsilano Pool)
Oh my goodness, so BIG. So perfect. So summer.



At 137 meters (150 yards), it’s Canada’s longest pool—almost three times longer than an Olympic pool—and Vancouver’s only heated salt water pool.
With its white bottom and turquoise water and its spectacular views--of the ocean, the mountains, Kits Beach, and the skyline of Vancouver’s West End, glittering across English Bay--Kits Pool is a vacation destination unto itself, and just stepping through the gates feels like an escape.


I didn't swim, exactly, but I did go in up to my neck to cool off.
It was heavenly.
Mostly I just sat on my lawnchair and read. 
Well maybe I did a little people-watching. OK. Alot of people-watching. And you know what? I used to think that guys' swim wear consisted of two choices: long, baggy boarding shorts or speedos. 
This is no longer true. 
Oh my goodness no.
Did you notice what the male swimmers were wearing at the Olympics? Well, they're wearing those tight (think male boxer-briefs) suits at Kits Pool too. In varying leg lengths. Some came down to the knee. Others, mid-thigh, and still others that barely covered anything. 
Interesting. 


This was a perfect summer day. 


Three FIVE things I'm thankful for:

1. Friends who take Friday afternoons off work.
2. Lebanese food for supper.
3. Riveting books/creative authors.
4. Sunshine.  
5. Lawnchairs.

Romans 8:38-39
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
