And about to overflow. A couple of Rev's guys came yesterday morning to do some clean-up work in the pool and then threw the hose in it and turned it on before they left. I was out doing errands. Got home and there was all of three inches of water in the pool. DH said later, after he got home from playing golf, "It is going to take at least two days to fill it." Wrong! DH had to work at four o'clock this morning. Apparently it didn't occur to him to check the pool before he left. I woke up a little before seven, went out to the kitchen to get coffee going, looked out the window - and whoa! The pool is full! Less than twenty-four hours. So much for it taking a couple of days. Of course the pump isn't on - it isn't even hooked up. How long before Rev comes by to take care of that, I wonder...
OK!! Im doing a cannonball right now...in my head...sigh! If I did one in real life I do believe I could get all that water back out in far less time then it took to put in.
The water all the way to the edge made me nervous to have The Kids out there - who knows how they see things? I thought for sure The Boy would try to walk over it - thankfully he didn't, Coolred. He would have made quite a SPLASH!
Can't imagine MN weather / winter right now, Econmom! Burrr!!! Thankfully whatever laws are in place don't apply to my own back yard. Otherwise I'd have to be fairly well covered just to go in the pool...
Still too cold, DL. I did put my big toe in yesterday though. I'm happy to have it done, finally... Gee. That only took two and a half months.
Once upon a time, in the not too distant past, there was a Woman who thought she was living the American Dream. Her childhood, although now not particularly memorable, was fairly normal. She went to school. She got a job. She met a tall, blonde and handsome pilot and married him. It was all good. They were the perfect “Ken and Barbie” couple. The handsome pilot built her the house of her dreams in North Carolina, where she thought they would live for the remainder of their many, many days to come. Circumstances, totally out of the control of this lovely Ken and Barbie couple, changed everything. Shortly afterward, they came to find themselves living a whole new life in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia. Oh, sure, they are still the perfect “Ken and Barbie” couple, but Barbie now wears an abeyah over her designer outfits when she leaves her house, she has given up her pink convertible because she is not allowed to drive, and she no longer has an office that she visits five days a week, instead choosing to spend her time as a stay-at-home wife and an over-protective, doting Mommy to their two absolutely adorable, much loved and very, very pampered four-legged “Kids.”

ReplyDeleteI must say it looks pretty nice compared to Mpls, MN right now! Enjoy! Is it against Sharia Law for you to swim in it?
ReplyDeleteLast one in's a rotten egg!
ReplyDelete(It looks beautiful, Miss Sabra)
