Emma and her swim suit.

Emma wanted Sassy to approve of the bathing suit before she put it on. Once she got to the pool it was just a little too hot to keep her coat on. Off it came and Emma basked in the sun!! We were a bit worried about her fair skin getting a sun burn, but she managed to just glow. Emma loves the pool!

Emma Met Sassy

Emma and Sassy hung out on the mantle piece for the first few days. Sassy told her it was July, "In July we don't wear fur coats!" But Emma is insistent about keeping her coat on - and her silver shoes. She even went to the pool in them. She met a dear friend who had just returned from Rome. Emma is longing to go back to Europe and it made her just a little homesick. A pool in Spotsylvania is good for today though.
