Pools @ MindSay

If you live in Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, or Pennsylvania that just might be a true statement up there.  ^





Pools are intended for swimming.  With any luck tomorrow and or Sunday me and the boys will be enjoying a pool somewhere around Greenville, SC.  Part of the experience of riding/skating pools is taking something that's not meant to be riden, and doing what you can with what you're given. Even if that just means carving around well below coping. 

I've got a summer worth of experience of working on pools under my belt.  I've got multiple 5 gallon buckets, 20+' of rope, a couple of flat shovels, and a couple of brooms ready for whatever may await us at the pool.  It's been raining all week so I wouldn't be surprised to find water in the deep end. 

Roller coasters and swimming pools attract kids and adults alike. And the good news is, Las Vegas boasts of several top-of-the-line roller coasters and pools for the whole family.

For example, one of the most widely-patronized Las Vegas roller coasters is the New York New York roller coaster found New York New York Hotel and Casino. This particular coaster takes you up 203 feet above and then abruptly drops you 144 feet at a dizzying speed of 67 miles per hour. Then, before you can blink your eyes, it turns you 180 degrees and lets you hang in mid-air at 86 feet up. This heart-pounding ride is guaranteed to get your blood pumping for excitement. Afterwards, your family can relax in a beautiful Las Vegas pool.

And speaking of Las Vegas pools, the Stratosphere pool at Stratosphere Hotel and Casino offers the best amenities you can ever ask for. This Las Vegas pool affords an amazing view of the strip. Located on the 18th floor of the Stratosphere, it has 68,000 square foot area---- 15,000 of that just for the pool. It is an outdoor heated pool with a separate European sunbathing pool facility. In addition, it has bar and coffee, replete with pool toys, rafts, and other amenities that are sure to be an instant hit.

Of course, New York New York roller coaster and Stratosphere pool are just some of the many excellent Las Vegas coasters and pools. For more information, visit Las Vegas roller coasters and Las Vegas pools .

good thing I woke early and hit the front yard as it's now raining again. I managed to eliminate one large half dead shrub, take down a small rock wall that was buried under years of dirt and reposition them around the "water" aka mud. It will take a few days for all the mud so sink and let me clear it out so it looks more black or maybe even green... especially the water fall.. hahahaha... well not quite.


But the redwood against the violets looks great and my columbines are blooming as is the jack in the pulpit hidden within the maidenhair ferns. and now jim is building a raised bed within part of the redwood walkway and i will plant gypsophylia from seed. always good to have and such a heavenly scent. My paltry little peony has not died .......yet. I will be amazed if next year it really takes over. Now i just have to finish hiding the black rubber that lines the muddy hole, get my stone pagoda, do something to hide the electricity post, and plant the remaining ajuga along the water's edges. Yahoo !!!

The other great thing is the full bath off the garden room. once again I came into the house literally covered in mud.... stripped down to bare skin, jumped in the shower and wrapped in a towel. tossed the muddy gardening clothes into the washer and came upstairs all clean and ready for warm clothing. The weather predictions which are REALLY laughable out here is for weather in the 80's later in the week so Jim and I will head straight for cannon beach  or tillamook. anyone want some cheese?
