Poolie me and Hubby too!

What is a poolie, you ask?
A ‘poolie’ is someone who enjoys going into the swimming pool, a phrase definition that I just coined for my own selfish purposes; which is so typical of, me, Tobi the wordsmith.
I know I know you’re asking what about Merriam Webster and the rest of the professionals in that particular field, too bad I say!
Who’s to say what dignifies the usage of any certain verbiage, I would think that it would be us the consumers, right? So let it be.

Oh, back on track now… what I was starting to tell you is that Hubby was also a part of the poolie scene today too. Yep, but not for exercise or the purpose of swimming, oh no he had much more important reasoning for plunging in amongst the more wet and wilder ones, meaning me and Skipper the dog that is!
He had decided to try and figure out what caused the underwater light to dislodge from its location well within the pool wall. And he found that the stainless steel screws, would you believe… corroded? Unfortunately, the entire system was separated and water had seeped into the unit causing the short most likely! Wow, you say, and the worst of it is my desire to have a heavy dose of chlorine in the pool at all times to keep it bacteria and mold free! We do have an automatic chlorinator that we can turn up or down from the filtering system, and now we will have to find a happy medium to make sure this doesn’t happen again. Hubby said he still doesn’t trust the connection so the light’s electric is still disconnected but the light is firmly back in the wall from where it came.

This weekend the heat continues… whatever should we say…Na, Na, Na, Na are you jealous yet? By Monday we should be getting back to our normal temps for this time of year, oh, you want to know what the norm is. Well, at this time of the year we are usually in the mid-eighties during the day and mid-sixties overnight, still jealous, huh I bet!

Florida is just a short plane ride for most of you, and a little longer for the rest, and so I recommend to all of you to come on down! This should be all of yours favorite destination.


On that thoughtful suggestion I wish you all a good night and to all count those blessings and I will too!
