On a blistering August day, hot sweaty kids just wished to play. Someone (nobody stills knows who) turned on the hydrant. Water flew! It flew and like a geyster went all over the place – Heaven sent! The kids went crazy. Oh what fun that one hot day in summer’s sun!

What fun! I have some old family pictures that look like the people here, but funny looking bathing suits, ladies' wool one-piece on the Florida coast.

I remember similar things. This summer I did not get to the beach even once!! The summer is dying now and the season of football and the high Holidays is here. I hope you and yours are well! Enjoyable verse here! I sold a chapbook for a cup of tea and a Danish at a local café today Peace & Love Matthew Anish
