Every year Johnny and his crew come to give the house and surrounding areas a bath. They haul out the pool furniture and all of it gets the water treatment as well. The pool opened and after one day it was clean and sparkling while last year it took two weeks to get to see the bottom. Opening sooner and closing later seems to be the answer to less work when it comes to pools. I know Andy didn't want one in the first place, but he succumbed. He likes it but would never have another. It takes the crew a day and sometimes two to get everything washed and cleaned. Where does the dirt come from? It's nature. The guys have been at it so far for six hours. We are having a big Easter celebration with over twenty guests, so the next two weeks are going to be busy with comings and goings. I like the hubbub and I like the people and the guests that show up with big appetites. Every day will be a new adventure with all the beds occupied with out of town family.
The crew comes hungry when they come to work and today is no exception except they did not touch dessert. Men who don't eat dessert is a mystery to me. Note: They asked to take it home...the soup filled them up, now they are ready for dessert.
For the workers it is ham and bean soup and apple bread pudding (which they did not eat.)
