Pictures

I wanted to post a couple more pictures since that seems to be required in the world of blogs, or at least in the country of Blogeztan, where it all started. Does that make me a Blogeztonian? Maybe just an honorary citizen. Anyway, back to the pictures. The first picture, taken about ten years ago, is of my children. I think you’ll notice they have some common characteristics. It is probably apparent to those who know me, that I don’t have those characteristics. I asked Mikki, my wife, about that but she just laughed and walked off mumbling something about free milk. I have no idea what she meant.

The second picture was taken several years ago just after we had spent a large sum of money to have our new swimming pool installed and the whole neighborhood showed up for the initial plunge. Talk about rub a dub dub, three men in a tub. We managed to get seven in our tub! The picture is taken facing North across the barley field that used to surround our home. Of course, now we are surrounded by houses that are far less appealing to the eye, and much noisier as well. And, they smell bad. But, don’t get the idea that I’m bitter.....or angry......or upset....or feel betrayed...or....or.....bah!

Back to the pool. It’s a good thing our water isn’t metered since we have such a large pool. You’ll notice at the left side of the picture is the corner of a building. That, of course, is the pool house where we keep all the chemicals, life saving devices, cleaning equipment, skim nets and alligator repellent. It contains the changing areas as well. To the right, you’ll see the exercise equipment that we installed prior to the swimming pool. As you can see, it is nothing but the best for the Martin family. Well, I’m starting to brag now, so I’ll quit and try to gain some humility. Until next time.....
