It's really bathing suit time. I mean, everyone else is in the water or dipping
their toes into the pool (which is finally warm). The pool aerobics class is
so full, I have to go into the deep water - and I am NOT tall.

Oh, I remember those cookies and birthday cakes and delicious rolls I ate
this winter. Why do my hips have to remember them, too?
So, it's bathing suit time and my friends have come out of their homes
to socialize in the shallow end of the pool to talk about their upcoming
trips. Visits to grandchildren and places far and wide are discussed, while
walking or standing in the pool.

My mom used to walk into the pool very slowly, in the shallow end, and splash
water into the front of her bathing suit. I can't believe I do the same thing! I
must be getting old - but, here I am in the water.
Will you be putting on your suit and dipping into your community pool?

Are you young? Do you have kids? A fun place to go is the new fountain
splash area at Canyon Lakes. Enjoy watching the children try to catch the
water spouts.

Driving Safety Tips: Keep your car in good running condition Be sure to
have enough fuel to get to your destination, round-trip.
Roll up the windows and lock all of your car doors, even if you are only
parking in your driveway.
Always keep your car keys in your hand, when approaching your parked car.
Park in well-lit, busy locations and be especially alert in parking garages and
at covered mall parking lots.
"BUMP and ROB" has become popular in our area, recently. It works like this:
A car, usually a driver and at least one passenger (sometimes children are
inside car) rear-ends or bumps you in traffic. You quickly get out of your
to assess the damage and to exchange information. One of the passengers
or the driver jumps into your car and drives off.
If you have car trouble, raise the hood of your car and turn on the emergency
flashers. Stay inside your car and lock the doors. Call 911 on your cell phone.
ALWAYS CARRY YOUR CELLPHONE!
If you think you are being followed by another car, do NOT go home. Drive
to the nearest police or sheriff's office.
