Sometimes there were monsters in the water and we had to stay on the steps so they wouldn’t gobble us up. We spent hours in the pool, playing mermaids, creating “gorgeous” hairdos by dipping our heads under the water, and flicking our heads back as we jumped up out of the water, creating little geysers. Then everyone else jumped in to create utter chaos and whoever ended up with the twig was the next to hide it. When it floated to the top and someone saw it, they yelled, “Dibble-Dabble” and jumped in to get it. Our favorite was “Dibble-Dabble.” One person would jump in with a small twig or matchstick and release it under water somewhere. We had lots of visitors after the pool was finished mostly the cousins. Miki and I were in the pool while Dad was filling it for the first time and still painting it we just couldn’t wait. He built the house and garage, but they were of little consequence compared to our pool. I thought it was the greatest thing he had ever done. If I counted my labor, it cost us 1 million dollars" We built it out of the income tax return that year. Now here is the hard part to believe about the pool. Dad wrote in his life story, “We couldn't even wait for it to fill before we got out there in it. When I turned five, Dad started building our pool.
