Yesterday morning, Polimom had a post ready to go, but events overtook me. Here’s my backyard at 7 am:
Here it is at 9:00 (we were already trying to unravel dial-up problems):
Shortly after that last shot was taken, they cut the phone line… and that was that. Camera still worked, though (smile…), and this is the backyard at 2:30 in the afternoon:
So — I’ve got internet access but still no phone…. and the yard is full of people again. Chaos reigns at Polimom’s house.
Here’s hopin’ it all goes smoothly, and the rain holds off for a few days.
Looks like Poli’s family wants a swimming pool!
Too bad y’all couldn’t have had it built before summer, though.

It IS being built before summer… NEXT summer. (LOL)

We’re pulling together agaun Polimom, I have a yardsale the size of Macy’s planned for tomorrow. Please, no rain.
Well, I am thinking that, since Polimom’s family is building a pool in their back yard, that Polimom’s dart landed on a small bedroom community on I-10, slightly to the west of Houston…

Ed T — you nailed it. That’s exactly what this is.
AC and DH are both very comfortable in the Houston area. So the choice became: uproot them, or make this location tolerable. And to handle the heat here (I just hate it!!), Polimom required a pool, because I’m not an indoors person. I need to be out.
They’re thrilled with this at every level, since AC is a competitive swimmer and DH gave up his pool when we bought this house. So yes… the dart has landed… at least for the next 8 years or so.
OH – and of course, we have a mud pit this morning.

But, not nearly so much heat – the forecast didn’t show a single day in the 90’s this whole week!
