A Visit to the Swimming Area
With the heat wave stretching on, Helaina, Rachael, Sam and I made a quick visit to the local swimming area after dinner last night - for the first time in years.
Helaina and Rachael went swimming, but Sam doesn't swim and I prefer not to. Instead, Sam and I walked along the banks and the edge of the river, pretending we weren't as hot as we were.
Sam had thought ahead and brought his metal detector with him - and he managed to find just under three dollars worth of change - while I managed to lose about the same.
And while we didn't stay very long, it was long enough for Helaina and Rachael to have cooled off - for at least as long as it took us to walk back to the car. And for a little while, Sam was distracted from the heat - and made a little money, besides.

The heatwave's stretching on and on
Wish I had my swimmers on
Sweatin' on the banks of the river
Sam is finding lots of dough
He knows where he wants to go
Walkin' on the banks of the river
Save me, save me
Save me from this heat
I've got big fat blisters growin' on my feet
And I love to live so pleasantly
Live this life of luxury
Lazing on a sunny afternoon
In the summertime
(with apologies to the Kinks)
The late afternoon heat lay ahead.
"Let's go down to the river," they said.
But despite all the heat,
Sam cooled only his feet.
He went looking for money instead.
(with apologies to everyone) :)
Summer days are diamonds
Best enjoyed prone
Adopt the position
Get into the zone
Summertime's the best time
To search on your own
Summer days are diamonds
....So get Sam out looking for them
