grammy's pool



grammy's pool is a wonderful place. countless summer gatherings have been held here - memorial day picnics, family reunions, a few redneck luaus, parties for no particular reason, and one pretty kick-ass wedding.


one summer in high school i worked at smithville lake and i remember getting off at 8 after working all day in the sun and just jumping in the pool with whatever i had on when i got home. then there was that one summer in college when i was taking morning classes and working at a factory until 7 and getting home only to jump in the pool with whatever i had on. ahh.. the joys of living in the country. and having a pool.


grammy's pool is opening today! of course it'll be about another month before it's warm enough to swim, but it'll look pretty until then. i miss the days dad would make it as warm as a bath tub so we could slip in pre-season, but i'm sure mom doesn't miss the gas bill.


so we'll enjoy grammy's pool as much as we possibly we can this summer until we see this little sign pop up again...
