Another week in Paradise!

Hi everyone, sorry about not getting back to you for a while. Life is full of challenges and these last few weeks are no different. A quick breakdown; My above ground pool water turned black from leaves and dead animals (poor babies fell in during a storm) My kids would not go in the water unless it was replaced. First mistake, I drained the pool, power washed it, then got the liner back on the sides. Apparently it took too long, the pool liner shrank, as a result when I went to refill the pool, all the sides came down! Time for a new liner. 

Here is some free info: I called a bunch of local Pool stores in and around my town as well as the original company that installed the pool 10 years ago, to see what it will cost to replace the liner and get it installed. The price range ran from $600 to $2000 complete! Whoa that is a crazy range. I will end up using Pelican Pools on Rt.18 in East Brunswick NJ. By the way I am only mentioning them because they had the best price , expertise for installation and nice people. No other business connection here!

My 53rd birthday came and went, I think I need to start exercising more, even though I work everyday, I can tell it is not enough. I think walking will be the key here.

Our Deep Freeze Freezer went out on us the other day, what a nightmare. If you are like me, you buy what ever you can on sale and freeze it. Debbie and I stopped dancing the freak and started rearranging the kitchen freezer to fit all the food in. Good thing Memorial Day weekend is here so we cook cook a lot of this stuff! Pumpkin Pie anyone?

Well, I will send out another post shortly; this one will be on deck washing.
