The pool people visited on Thursday. The backyard oasis is ready. In name and looks, anyway. Nice job opening the pool. Better them than us. It still isn’t warm enough here in our Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville as we enter June. My dear wife Karen and I did sit after work in our red Adirondack…
The pool company workers stopped by just after Labor Day. On went a new security cover. This baby will last a couple of decades, says the material in the brochure. Knock on wood. More than enough for us. Now it can be colder for the season, yes. This sure beats how we had to close…
