Do you know what caused this look of satisfaction?
This. I put on rubber boots, stumbled out into the torrential rain, down the cellar stairs {in the dark} and hauled up a box full of antique Barbie toys all by the glow of my trusty flashlight.
Did anybody else have this? As I recall, it was my very first piece of Barbie paraphernalia. I got it from Santa along with a very basic Barbie & Ken in bathing suits. I spent many a Saturday afternoon on the porch with this pool. The shower no longer works and we’re missing a chair and the base to the lifeguard stand, but despite over twenty years of life, it still looks pretty good and more importantly still makes my heart race.
Ella was sad that all we did tonight was scrub it down and lay it out to dry, but I know that tomorrow brings hours of pool party fun. Unfortunately the weather doesn’t look like it will be cooperating, so we’ll be using the dining room chandelier instead of sunshine and a big quilt instead of grass. Otherwise, the day should go exactly as planned.
