2024 Christmas Day

 

Winter Solstice Swim

 

 The day with the longest night of the year is today! In some cultures they celebrate this day, the Winter Solstice, by taking a swim in freezing cold water. It is believed that this act gives renewed vitality. It washes away the misfortunes and bad experiences from the past year and gives you a fresh start- blessing  you with prosperity in the coming year. 

Notice the older grandkids just went for the toe dunk. Maybe next year they will jump in.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ruth Ann and Sally were Alpha Xi Delta sisters.

Southwest Texas Sorority sisters and a couple of tagalongs. Our friendship dates back to college days.

Some things never change - I missed the memo to wear Christmas color.
