I Gotta Have... (One day) Assignment #72

Ever since I was child, I've asked for a backyard pool.  It was on my Christmas list every year, right above the Barbie hairstyling doll that I NEVER got.  I always ended up with Loving Tender Doll, or a Holly Hobbie.  And of course, a backyard pool was always out of the question. 

Now that I'm an adult, I can get by without the doll, but I really would still like a pool.  Since getting married and making a move from the often small foggy beach town of Santa Cruz to San Jose California, a pool is way up there on my list.  It's ALWAYS HOT here!!!  Wouldn't it be lovely to be able to take a nice afternoon, early evening dip in a pool?  Hubby wants one too.  No longer would he have to mow the lawn and trim the 50 something hedges and bushes in the backyard every other weekend.  And the kids...well of course they would just LOVE it.  Maybe next year. 

Extra Credit:  "Would I be happier with it?"  Just a little cooler, and happier in the spring, and summer, and fall..and of course my property value would increase. 

Honorable Mention:  I really want to be able to leave on a Hawaiian cruise with hubby alone; NO KIDS ALLOWED.  Yep, sure I'm dreaming, but "Dreaming is free!"

Cool ... Pool.  It's simply YUMMY.  It would look great in the backyard of the dream house I WANT.
