When we retire and move my dream is to have a pool, finally. People have discouraged me saying it is a lot of work. I was thinking that having a pool service would be a solution to that, although an expensive one. Do you ladies who have a pool do the work yourselves or have help?

Greene, we did have a monthly service but my husband takes care of it now. Swimming pool stores have classes to teach you how to maintain the chemical balance, etc. Or...you might consider a salt water pool. They are all the rage now and nicer on your skin. Our pool cleans itself and maintenance really isn't difficult.

Thanks Dianne. I'd really hate to give up on my dream of having a pool.

WB sounds like a handy do-it-all guy! We had a pool when we lived in Miami and it got a lot of use. In that part of the world, people have huge screens enclosures over their pools to keep out leaves (and bugs!) At first, we maintained the pool ourselves but we eventually got a pool service. When we factored in the cost of chemicals, we decided it was worth it for us not to have to mess with it.

I LOVE Washington state. The scenery is beautiful, the weather is mild, and I've made lots of good friends. The Seattle area is a Mecca for writers so there's lots of resources for my interest. Some people have trouble with the short dark days of winter, but I keep busy and that hasn't bothered me.

Jabber, the weather west of the Cascade Mountains is mild. Eastern Washington has more temperature extremes. I think it's the Pacific current that keeps the Puget Sound area cooler in summer and not so freezing in winter. (Ooops. Sorry. It seems we've ventured away from the topic of swimming pools!
