I do get the pool people to do the vacuuming and they do clean out the skimmers, etc. But the skimmer has to be cleaned often. Everytime it rains, leaves and stuff go through the skimmer and if you don’t keep it cleaned out, its hard on the pump! And I always have to keep the chlorine level good by adding tablets, etc. And of course I shock it with heavy chlorine every 2 weeks.

The girls haven’t been around lately. Nikki started back to teaching week before last and Ashley moved in with a girlfriend in Kingsport last week (closer to the hospital where she works) and so thats the way it goes!

As I always say “A pool is a big hole in the ground that you throw money into!” And thats about the size of it!

I will have to say that for many years we enjoyed it with friends and had a ball. Life changes at a certain point and then it seems all there is, is work! LOL!

Oh yes, thats my backyard! LOL! I wish!

Thanks, tiapam! I did read that scene was in the Smokey Mountains on the North Carolina side. I thought it was so pretty there! A lot of the Smokey Mountains are in Tennessee!
I spent my honeymoon in Gatlinburg and the Smokey Mountains!

That is lovely, yorkie! Yes, the mountains are beautiful there. There wasn’t much there so many years ago except the mountains. It was a little sleepy town with a couple of restaurants and many cozy motels. Now, its a rocking town busy, busy, busy! The downtown reminds me of Myrtle Beach or a little Vegas. Beautiful condos everywhere on the mountain sides and crowded with families! Restaurants on top of restaurants and every kind of shop you could imagine.

Everything changes over the years, doesn’t it? (just as we people do.)

Just ONE of the Pools where we stayed

Wonderful Time, Tiapam. However the ride up was very scary. I was truly tested on my Motoring skills. 200 miles of Tropical Supercell Thunderstorms on a Harley.
