Happy Memorial Day to my fellow Americans. Please spend a moment or two of silence for those who gave their lives for our wonderful country.
Today kicks off our summer season, and what goes better with summer than a pool and barbecue?
Our younger son’s girlfriend was hoping he would put an in ground pool in his backyard, but he quelled her hopes with the pool in my photo. . It is heated, chlorinated, and has a cover to keep bugs out when not in use.
There will be no swimming in that pool this summer, but I’m sure it will cool them off and provide lots of laughs and fun splashing around.
Both our boys grew up in our in ground pool and became lifeguards at two local country clubs. They earned good money in high school and college, so if needed, our son’s girlfriend will be in safe hands in this pool, too.

@DianneN My husband tried, he also asked to a teacher, I cannot, I am too scared by water, I panic, I cannot breath, my heart beat accelerates even more than usual. My mother thought that I was traumatized soon after I was born, the nurse dropped my head under water for a moment during my first bath.

I could soak in that. My neighbors object to me in a bathing suit, though....

@DianneN — he never takes technology when he goes on a road trip.

there is a picture of my cousins and I in a pool like this, too many people in one tiny pool. now they have an in ground pool but we always joke about breaking out the old inflatable one. even though it wasn't much of a pool it has many great memories that go along with it :)
happy memorial day!

@Marilynda1225 Thank goodness he lives on almost two acres. Someone would need a good pair of binoculars.

Its very small and compact pool i seen. Is this enough for 2-3 person or it's look small because of photos. One advantage is no one will go below water. Sorry i don't know what to say those who go below water when they not know swim.

@DianneN Sometimes things look small so asked. If 6 people can hold then its a great thing. Hope for the best for drowns but they can enter in pool with lives jacket.
