The day is fast approaching while I sort of prepare for my own moving experience. Boxes are being packed; plastic bags loaded down and phone calls arranging for services are being made. The only real problem is that the owners of this property just completed and filled a swimming pool of Disneyesque proportions.

It’s got an 18 foot curving slide, a diving rock dug up from the hillside, a grotto , a sauna, numerous waterfalls, (last count was 10), full night lighting, brick, rock and tile construction, and, oh yes, lots of water for swimming. It makes a delightful diversion from packing and moving plans. As with most people, I’ll take swimming over packing any and every day of the week.

IT’S PRIVATE! No maddening crowds to irritate and discombobulate us, only family members. Of course they can be irritating enough sometimes. Especially the four young boys who tend to “take over’ the pool when their parents bring them over. But hey! What are swimming pools for, anyway?

Oh yes, back to my moving experience. That will occur on July 18th and I’ve made arrangements for the off-duty firemen to do the heavy work. That has become common in many places. Since they have time off from their 24 hour shifts, they make good money and are usually very careful with furniture, etc.

So if you are planning a move soon, think of the firemen. And if you’re not moving, but hate moving with a passion, PLEASE THINK OF ME. Even a prayer or two would be nice.
