Jeffrey handed me my shoes and said, "Get in the car." We got in and he drove to the local playground with the highest and best swings. He pointed to them and said, "I'll be back later. You swing." It's fantastic to have a man who knows exactly what you need. Me? I need to swing. Maybe that's why I became a teacher. Easy access to a sturdy swing set.Relyn Lawsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01389583730002062714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-625563277617720888.post-9438706147347287042009-04-13T10:47:00.000-05:002009-04-13T10:47:00.000-05:00She's so free.

If I had kids there would be no way I would've let them swing on those damn swings... but oh how we loved them. <BR/><BR/>To this day if I find a swing and go nuts... my stomach still flips just a little when I get going really really super high. <BR/><BR/>Great memories.Jennifer Whitehttp://www.wishfulthinking.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-625563277617720888.post-69911317794673164152009-04-10T21:19:00.000-05:002009-04-10T21:19:00.000-05:00You've defintely captured something with this post...You've defintely captured something with this post!
