We were fortunate enough to be invited to swim at the Birchim's pool next door, and we extended the invite to Denise and her kids. In years past (5 years ago and more), we shared this experience with them and it has been a magical memory to all of us. These neighbors had so carefully and lovingly designed the pool and the entire backyard space to be enchanting and irresistible to children with the big shallow end, the slide, diving board, deep end seats, fountain, jacuzzi, outside kitchen/ bar, shady lounge area, couch swing, BBQ pit, and welcoming hosts. Beautiful matriarch Tansy passed away a couple of years ago now and her absence is still palpable and raw, but the rest of the family keeps the warm welcoming vibe alive.
It is so fun to be with Denise, and for Rhiannon and Ava to reconnect, and for Tryfan, Liam and Lucas to happily play together. 5 years is a big gap when you are a child, and I'm so happy that our kids slotted in easily together.
