There is something about summer, it draws kids outside, and neighbors together.  I like that.  Having no family here, I rely on my friends/neighbors.  It is community, and it is good.

She pulled her minivan up to my house, told me I am not good at relying on other people for help.  I'm not.  I know this.  She told me to send my boys over.  They were soggy, and enthralled with a slip n' slide, so her middle little jumped out of the van and joined mine.

"send him home whenever"

A broken slip n' slide yielded a transition of houses.  So we all headed over.

It was so, so good.

A simple KY afternoon.  Mama talk over cookies, coffee and hazelnut creamer, and frequent interruptions by 6 little loves.

Her kids are the same age as mine.

Sometimes you just need that.
