Hey Everybody.

Harry - Great for Jake! Elizabeth (my 9 year old) just played soccer for the first time this spring after playing softball the last 3 years. She really liked soccer more and wants to sign up for the fall season. She had an assist in the game yesterday which was her real first time on the scoresheet so she was pretty excited. It's a good sport for her and a good complement to swimming. She did pretty well in her time trials yesterday so practice starts in earnest tomorrow (though we'll miss it due to it being her first day at a new day camp and we think she needs to socialize on the first day). But I'll be up good and early for the 7 a.m. practice on Tuesday!

Tim did okay in his meet yesterday. Got the 100 fly under his belt now... He's has two weeks left to prepare for his next meet where he will be doing two events he's never done - 400 free and 400 IM. The IM will probably do him in for sure!

I know the 400 IM would do ME in. Well, uh, the 100 IM would probably kill me.

What's up Kristen?

Hey those of you with pools, give me some advice. We are thinking of building one. I've been toying with it since we built our house 10 years ago. We put an addition on 2 years ago instead of moving to a bigger house..so I guess we are "committed" now. So the pool itch has gotten me again. If you all have any photos of your pools, I'd love to see them. I have a picture in my minds eye of what ours will look like but I love seeing other examples.

Not much. I can post some pictures this week.. Ours is nothing fancy but we do love having it. We decided to put the extra money into the automatic cover:

Our pool is the shape of the one in the picture.. Safety wise, maintence, it all saves you in the long run. There is not dragging a cover off come spring and dragging one on in the winter time. We were just talking today about extending our pool decking.... The cover runs you about an extra $10,000,, but it is not something you can add on later. The tracking needs to be added when it gets installed so you can always add other stuff later but that you can not...

The pool is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! I say go for it. !!!!!!!!!!!! If you have Pools By Murphy do not go with them they have several lawsuits in CT pending, etc... JUST AN FYI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is the tracking system we have with our pool::

No I hadn't. My boys, for some reason, aren't into the Guitar Hero games. Are you looking to play a little guitar?!

 

[hmansure]

Yuck - it's Monday.... and, oh, the forecast high here today is 100 (which rarely happens and never in early June) so people will surely be cranky! Not me though!!!

DD9 went to a pool party over the weekend and the folks who had just built this house (and the pool) actually had the pool that I picture in my minds eye. It was weird. AND they and they had the cover and showed me how it worked. Thanks for the info! We will actually go with a family run local business that has a great reputation (they built the pool that i saw this weekend and lots of ohters in the newer communities here).
