“Night Swimming”
During this segment of “Intermission” we are taking a late-night dip in the pool! My brother used to be the night lifeguard and manager at our local swimming pool, and he used to take us with him on hot summer night to keep cool. We had so much fun swimming, eating and laughing. It’s one of my favorite summer activities.
Whether it’s the pool or a body of water, always be careful and stay safe.

night-time decor
If you are fortunate enough to have a pool like the one in the header photo…I’M COMING OVER!!! lol.
You have the greatest opportunity to have great outdoor lighting, pool accessories and a great firepit to roast marshmallows. Can’t forget the marshmallows at all in summer. Also, set up a display table that stays out all the time ready for food items at any given moment.
