May 30
After a long winter’s nap, a peaceful time of hybernation in the shed, the pool is back baby! I’m as surprised as you are that the aquatic play pen survived to begin the sophmore year.
We filled it up Sunday night and of course the kids, who have more courage than sense, swam in the frigid waters of the bearing sea off and on throughout the day yesterday. Myself, having more sense than courage, put on my shorty wet-suit and spent about 10 minutes lowering my core body temperature.
Since we have no air conditioning in the house and temps will reach 93 today the chilling water sounds good. Now to figure out how to install a floating desk so my laptop won’t get wet.

Glad to know the pool is alive and well!
I had to re-register on the new blog, so I may not appear as “meowmix” anymore. I think I’m now “Muffin18.”

Thought we’d open our pool over the long weekend, but in the end it often takes children to make that happen. I can live without it since I have to do ALL of the maintenance and cleaning. But Janice and I enjoy spending an hour on the floats in the afternoons.

Hi, Randy. This one is just to see if I’m coming through as Muffin or meowmix!

What do you mean no air-conditioning? Is this a new way to keep relatives away?

Great new look to the blog, Randy! But did everybody have to submit to a body cavity search just to register and login to comment? Oh well, it was worth it just to be a part of your fan club.

John, funny you should mention that . . . In the course of processing your application we discovered that you have some library books overdue!
