Our new wading pool

We bought a new wading pool this year because last year's sprung a leak. Here are the Fort Worth grandchildren in the pool for the first time this weekend.

Trip to Sarasota

We went to Sarasota for our birthdays last week.  We saw the Ringling Museum, as well as the Ringling home, and the Circus Museum, which is also on the property.  We also went to the Sarasota Opera and saw an excellent productions of Cavallera Rusticana and Pagliacci, both one-act operas often performed together.  It was much colder than usual, with a high in the mid 50s.  Here is Mary Ellen freezing on the beach.
