Shimmering ripples

I was sitting in the shade while Ben and Loretta were in the clubhouse swimming pool this afternoon. The clubhouse sits on higher ground in our complex and looks out over a lake at the golf course. With the clouds in the blue sky, the pool and the golf course it could have been a Hawaiian resort.

Loretta and Ben were holding on to each other and jumping up and down in the water. With clouds covering the sun for a few moments the water shimmered in silvery ripples and waves. I smiled. It felt good.
