Our Town

~Iris Dement

If I don’t write something, I’ll ruin my streak of writing daily. Today’s been so busy, but a good kind of busy. We all started work, to get ready for our pool, yesterday afternoon. It’s been a very long process, but we’re getting there!

We began to fill it, and quickly realized our calculations were off. We had to move the pool, and backfill some more sand, to level out the ground on one side. We had one neighbor, who lives across the street from us, who drove his lawn mower over here and cut our front grass for us, this morning. Adam had teased him about doing ours, and by gosh if he didn’t do it, then! Our neighbor, beside us, lent us a tool we needed. Another couple, who lives close by, stopped over to chat about their own struggles when they installed their pool. Everyone has been so kind and sweet. It has been a long day, but not a bad one.
