Hello sistahs. Oh My Gosh! I realized I'm not older than dirt! I'm older than than the rock under the dirt! I remember telephones that you had to hold the receiver in one hand, crank the handle for the operator, and talk into the mouthpiece and ask for the number to be connected and the numbers all started with letters of the alphabet! My gosh I AM SO OLD!
I've played the 78's on the old crank victrola, and when your needle broke, you made a new one out of a straight pin!
But how I would love to go back to those days and know what I know now. wouldn't we all?
Well, ladies, my sons are putting up my pool. Three of the five worked all day today and well into dark last night getting the site ready. I was able to get an 18' x 34' doughboy pool and deck for the grandkids. All it cost was taking it down. We got it down, and I had to buy a new liner, but the liner sits in the box in the shed until the pool gets up. We are almost ready for it. I'll post one pic of the 'almost' up pool and then one of three of the reasons why I'm putting it up. The grandkids are so excited about it. I'm glad. I could NEVER afford to purchase one this size, so this is a great thing.
We are all beat though, it is a big job to sit this up. We all have had our showers, and dinner, and we are ready for bed. Just wanted to check in and see how everyone is doing.
Ladies you are in my thoughts and special prayers tonight. Tomorrow will be a better day for all. Pics to follow and good night and God bless and keep you all safe.
By the way, that is my second oldest son inside the pool area.
