Well the pool is up and running after being resurfaced, it is beautiful. The color reminds me of the Mediterranean - Aqua, that's not a color term I have used in years. I have been spending my weekends cleaning and planting and I hope to be swimming soon. Unfortunately, there are still sections of the yard that need TLC. Like most jobs it is more than an easy task. We have digging and re plumbing to do on drains. Digging, I gave away our sledge hammer and picks when we moved from San Antonio. I wanted no more manual labor. I have had more than my share over the last 30 years. My most recent job being - digging a french drain around the back of my old home. The trench was 40 feet long and three feet deep at it's deepest. Funny though I remember working on this project with Jim and listening to Bob Schnieder's Lonely Land. We sang and laughed. Maybe digging isn't too bad.
