Hot water

Perfect

Friends of ours gave us a used outdoor hot tub this past summer. I
measured and figured and calculated and found a way to install it in
our very small back yard. The installation needed to pass Linda's
approval and I had to figure out a way to get power to the spot. My
dad helped me, an electrician friend helped, I borrowed a crane to
lift it over the back fence. This is true, it does pay to have a
friend there also. And we got it installed.

I guess I have needed one of these things all my life. Mark and I are
in and out of it every day. Every single day. Linda is not such a
fan, but she has jumped in a few times. If I wake up sore, I jump in
the tub. Come home tired, ten minutes in the tub. Get sick, jump in
the tub whenever you feel chills coming on. Five or six times a day
then.

Want to go outside and watch for meteors? This seems to be just what
a hot tub was made for, my son and l laying back in the hot water,
watching the stars and discussing just about any topic a thirteen
year old can imagine. Girls, teachers, driving, desert, mountain
biking, computers, growing up, parents, school... it all seems to
come up for discussion under the influence of hot water.
