Swimming Pool- Part 2

As kids, we had an olympic sized swimming pool.  We dug it ourselves and in time ended up with a 20 x 40 area with cinder block sides, brick inlaid top and a liner for keeping the water contained. It was genius!  My parents had no real money so to do the best that they could and still get what the rich folk got, they figured out ways to make it happened.  There we were with a swimming pool where we had huge parties and events and had as much fun as could be expected.

Over 55 years have come and gone and the old’ pool is dilapidated and in disrepair.  Our family has done what it can to save different and various structures on the homestead, but some things cannot be saved.  The pool, unfortunately is one of them so…

Today, we will take time pulling down the past with heartfelt effort.  Stay tuned… There is more…

See you tomorrow,
