Tap water warm as soup

You will never guess what happened. Reg got home & put the new temperture gage into the pool. He came back into the house and said "it must be broken, it says the pool is 90 degrees". I said "if it's 90 degrees it's perfect, I'm going in". I got my suit on and just walked right in - Holy Cow it was as warm as a bath. I swam and played for 40 minutes - 1st one in the pool this year. Reg wouldn't go in 'cause the pool just had tap water - no chemicals in it yet. The water did go down to 89 degrees before I got out ! Valerie

Mother's Day Week-end

* Double clip photo to enlarge and see Leo Horoscope sign in our backyard..... For Mother's day oldest son Reggie sent me a text message, Middle son Robbie called and also send me a Cookie Flower basket ( my first, great cookies too, I ate the flower ones myself :) and youngest son Russ (who worked Saturday and Sunday but called me on Sat afternoon ) came over for dinner on Monday afternoon. Then, with his telescope, he found the LEO Horoscope sign and filmed it for me. Great week-end.

Tuesday Pool almost full

Reg has gotten 14 bags of pool salt. Last nite Reg and Keith talked and Keith tells Reg he should have 23-24 bags for a pool our size.

On Monday Keith acid washes the pool

It's a ballet of movement, pouring a curtain of acid, it drapes down the wall, rinsing the foam off with a sparklely cascade of water, pouring again...

This was a good day to do this work. The temperture went down into the low 80's, was in the high 90's.
