Lounging in the Pool

After our busy week last week we are looking forward to a quiet weekend. And temperatures have been from the low 80s to the low 90s, which is so pleasant. Bob and I have been taking an afternoon dip in the park's pool almost every day. We were pleased to discover that the pool is heated but just enough so there is no "arrgh!" when you get in.  Bliss!

It's kind of funny to look around and see a group of seniors wearing hats or visors and sunglasses, sitting on pool noodles. No one actually swims--we all just float in the warm water and chat with each other. Everyone here is easy to talk with, a friend waiting to happen.

This is an over 55 facility so it is rare to see a child anywhere. Which is rather odd when I think about it, because we almost never are around children these days. Unlike campers in NJ, the people who frequent RV parks in Arizona in the winter are typically retired folks like us. It makes sense, because the children are in school this time of year. One thing that has crossed my mind is that school children in this area are in class during the nicest time of the year, and must spend their hot summers off mostly indoors. Families must go out early in the day to play since temperatures can approach 120 degrees. I guess people adjust!
