From Work to Play

July 6, 2010 by Tracey 3 Comments

It begins as a chore.

The tools are gathered; a long garden hose, a soft mitt, a bucket of soapy water.


What follows is part work, part play, a bit of teaching interwoven with splashing and spraying.


As their squeals fill the summer afternoon, a clean vehicle emerges, along with two sopping wet girls who have enjoyed time with their daddy.


It’s a gift – the ability to mingle work and play. Yet the greater gift is the memory made, the moments spent together in the spray of some water and suds from a bucket.
