When Mom saw bikini Bow Tie o’ the Day, she nagged me to uncover Ron’s pool. I reminded her that she no longer has a swimsuit, so she clipped on her earrings and read this week’s CHRONICLE, for the thousandth time. Water makes Mom nervous. But she did own one sparkly swimsuit for decades. When our family rented the Delta pool for annual parties, Mom always rallied her courage, plugged her nose, and cruised down the slide– just once each party– to everyone’s delight. Best. Mom/Grandma. Ever. 👙 🏊♀️
