Hollace never liked to get her ears and face wet when swimming. We have signed her up for swimming lessons before but she got nowhere with them. Last summer while camping she had a breakthrough and started going under water. At first while plugging her nose then when everyone at the pool gave her a hard time, she went without.
We stayed in a hotel with Dorothy on Thanksgiving night. In the hotel pool I discovered how much a swimmer Hollace become. She looked like she was on the swim team or something, swimming most of the length of the small pool underwater.
That pool’s chemicals were harsh, after Hollace’s second round in the pool (RAW said she was swimming even better that day) her hair was like ropes. No amount of shampoo and conditioner seemed to help.
That night at Dorothy’s she complained of her skin itching.
The next day however she came down with the flu. Turned out she had a temperature and was achy. Poor thing. Didn’t realize that as we dragged her to the Christmas tree show at the Embassy Theater.
I guess mom had a peculiar case of strep throat, the same day Hollace was under the weather. She didn’t have a sore throat or anything, just something coating or swelling it. She ended up going to the ER where she got an X-Ray. Her strep test came back positive.
Cindy bought a new house. Everytime a sister buys a house, I get jealous and want to buy a new house too. It is a good time to buy. Of course we got to sell first which isn’t that easy especially since we are embarking on a kitchen remodel.
