The weather in NW Missouri has been gorgeous, following terrible storms just one week ago. So far, we have been able to spend at least two hours a day sharing the pool with our daughter and her wonderful family:
One of the smartest things we did was move the grill up on the deck, close to the kitchen, and just outside the dining room doors:
Have a wonderful and safe Summer!
— Al Navas



Al — my parents just moved in next door and they have a pool. We’ve been totally enjoying it so far this early summer! With the very small grandchildren (our kids), my parents are going to have a blast for years to come. Family time is so great.
Scott,
Congratulations, and enjoy the time with your parents, and with your young children! Our daughter and her family are two miles away, which is terrific; no time like family time!!!
Hi Y’all! So glad you are using the pool. Ain’t nothin’ like it! And I sure wish I could partake some of Al’s grilling! Happy Summer to your whole family.
Love ya – cas
Cathy,
It has been great – and the grilling terrific! Here is wishing YOU and yours a wonderful Summer, too!!!
Looks like a lot of fun. How hot is it there? It is hot and very humid here in Alabama.
Jeff,
It was in the mid-90s most of last week, and also very humid; this week is starting in the mid- to high eighties, with lower humidity. The forecast is in the mid-80s the rest of this week. We are very thankful for this break!
