It's getting to be swim season soon in most places. If you wanted to take a dip, where could you go? Water is too cold to be swimming yet. Once it's warmed up I would go to the pool at our family home. I've said recently how we had a pool from the time I was twelve yrs. old. My mom saved the $ she'd earned from taking in ironing and from doing the books for the family's dairy. She bought us a round, top of the ground pool. About ten years after that, my parents decided to put in an in ground pool, thinking it would be a family gathering place. And it has been. So many memories of time spent around the pool. My parent's grandkids learned to swim there and my grands have learned there now as well. Good times!

Just for fun: Tell us at least one thing you have ordered from room service or would like to now : Have seldom had the opportunity to order room service. Vacations are spent with extended family and we rent a house instead of staying in a hotel/motel.
