The box and the pool

One thing that I miss most and am anxious to have out of our ocean container is our kitchen table.  We have a very large kitchen with a nice island and the boys do okay standing around it to eat but Ashley was too short.  We have gotten a step stool that has helped some.  Also I saved the box that our microwave came in and draped towels over it to be a tablecloth.  They were all sitting around the box one morning this week eating breakfast and Ashley noticed that they guy we hired, Rox,  to take care of our pool and yard was by the pool.  Our den has 2 walls of huge arched windows with dark green wrought ironwork in them. 

Rox was bending over the side of the pool down on his knee to get a water sample to test the chemicals.  Ashley said "I hope Mr. Rox doesn't fall in the pool."  She must think that her instructions apply to everyone else in the world.  She is a great swimmer for a 3 year old with her swimmies on her arms, but we are being very careful about her being out in the backyard since there is no fence around the pool.
