To Our Favorite Pool Guy On Fathers’ Day
Family, Just Good Stuff | Posted by Jannie on 20 June 2010 @ 6:07 AM 29 Comments
Yo, handsome pool guy!
What’s up?
Hey, I may not always check to see if the camera shutter’s open.
Or do the dishes every week day.
Or break dance like I used to.
But I love you.
And that girl does too.
We both think you’re amazing in at least 14,351,987 ways.
And we’ll forever remain in awe of your prowess at keeping a beach ball between your feet as you relax on a raft.
Happy Fathers’ Day, Pool Guy!!!
You’re the best guy we know.
All photos in this post courtesy of Jannie on a ladder chez Funster June, 2008 – a Jannie folks may not be surprised to learn was a little “different” even before she started this blog in September, 2008.
A Jannie who is whisking Jim and Kelly away today on a short vacation.
So see you when we get back.
Or before – if they have wireless.

You were a break dancer?
Does that mean someday we just might see your moves on a video … either the moonwalk or the caterpillar?
Happy Father’s Day!

Looks like Jim had a fabulous Father’s Day in the company of his two favorite gals.
And aren’t you the brave one to climb atop the ladder for such great shots!
Have an awesome time on your get-a-way! xx

Kelly, Big Jim, and blue bunny all taking Jannie’s hand as they disappear over the Texas horizon in their mini-van that is not a van but has a lot of room in it to stuff junk for the mini-vacation. Yes, Jim, I hope you had a fabulous Father’s Day. I looked that day up in the encyclopedia and it had your picture on that page, nominated for 6-7 years in a row, ever since Kelly made her appearance. This Friday, which will be upon us very soon, I take off on a three week road trip myself, so I will miss out on the some of the high jinks here in Funsterville, but I will dip into the edge of Funsterland as I visit my in-laws on the Texas gulf coast.

SPLASH!!!!
Happy Father’s Day Jimmy!!! (I figure I’m safe calling you that, as a certain Ms. Jannie has been known to call me Lancey!!).
May your vacation away bring back some break dance moves for both of you (and maybe Kelly, too!)

Hey, I thought that pool guys were supposed to clean the pool not relax in it.
Happy father’s day dude, now get back to work

Well howdy pardners, thanks for hopping in and commenting.
Dear Wonderful Lynn, BB was overjoyed, and packed his suitcase 2 weeks before we left.
Dear Wonderful Tony, nuts did I go, and had a blast!
Dear Wonderful Ana, ahhhh, your words are always so lovely. Thanks!
Dear Wonderful Mama Zen, Jim appreciated your greetings, thanks.
Dear Wonderful Hilary, en famille c’etait bien bien! on est completement content.
Dear Wonderful Caity, ahhh, thanks. Those were taken with my digital camera that receltly died.
Dear Wonderful Jena Isle — hi and thanks so much for the visit and comment.
Dear Wonderful JIMNMY!!!! Wow, a second comment from you since I began this blog!! You are AWESOME!!!
Dear Wonderful William, thanks so much. It was a festive occasion, yes!
Dear Wonderful karyn and barks — thanks. We were so lucky to get away for a couple days and relax.
Dear Wonderful J.D. my claim to fame was a speeded-up version of Russian kalinka dancing but with my knees so unreliable now all I do is the funky chicken.
Dear Wonderful Thomma Lyn, thanks so much. It was a special special time on Sunday.
Dear Wonderful Jeanne — I am a little wacky sometimes, aren’t I? Hope you guys had a great Fathers day too?
Dear Wonderful Talon, yeah I’ve always been a bit of a ladder climber, on sturdy ones, that is.
Dear Wonderful Joy, ahhhhh thanks so much for lovely words.
Dear Wonderful Glenn — I will miss you so much the next 3 weeks — won’t feel like Funsterland without your comments.
Dear Wonderful Suzen! Thanks!! It was a most memorable time together. Hope your day was fab too.
Dear Wonderful Paige, super time yes — and BB is still sucking on that big sucker he had when you wrote your comment.
Dear Wonderful Lance — cannonball — your waves are still reverberating in our little pool. Yep, Jimmy he is, and delighted you should call him that!
Dear Wonderful Sheila, that baby pool foot bath was actually an idea I picked up from a friend of mine, but it is brill and keeps all the grass and mud out of the swimmming water!
Dear Wonderful Tess — hey, happy second day of summer — no, THIRD day of summer to YOU!!!
Dear Wonderful Luisa, sadly I got only a few pics — the iPhone and water are not a god mix. But my friend’s brother got some of our family, so I’m waiting for that e-mail. I did get a bit of video, tho.
Dear Wonderful Sire, Jannie is actually the pool cleaning guy around here. Not to hard tho, with such a small pool.
Dear Wonderful Cath, we are in that pool usually from the first of May to the end of October, but this year with her broken arm got a later start. Thanks — hope you are doing well.
Dear Wonderful Luisa — shoot, I did not know Jingle was unwell. I will be over soon.
Dear Wonderful Patricia, it was FUN, fun, fun!!
Dear Wonderful Snaggle — I love that one of Sweety too. And you know — he loves to swim!! We’ll be splashing around and he’ll take the first 2 steps to the ladder to join us.
