Foto Friday - My Dad's Pool

Over 30 years ago my father created the ideal pool / party yard. He passed some time ago but the house and pool remain in the family. It is still our gathering place. We are on our 3rd. generation of learning to swim there. We have celebrated weddings, graduations, holidays. birthdays and memorials there.

That's great, isn't it? In a sense, a piece of your dad is there and you can sense it every time you visit. Great shot.....thanks.

Great! How I'd love a place like to go have fun with the family.

It only takes a drop of ink to make a million people think. There are many stories.

Only one this particular day though. Often there are 3. They will even swim when no one else is in the pool.

Nice gathering place. Surely, children enjoy the most.
