TBT: The Mission Beach Plunge Cleaning Time in Postcards 4

*First we cleaned the tiles with acid then we re-grouted the pool.

Looks beautiful and ready to fill.

In Spring, the old Mission Beach Plunge was closed every year for cleaning. The professionals that did the jobs were those of us who worked there. We resurfaced the floors, touched up the paint everywhere, and cleaned both pools. In many ways, it was our Endless Summer in an age before liability worries or safety worries. Every day I am glad I had a chance to work there.

• Himself: Working hard today.
• Herself: I forget something every day. Today it was my flip flops and one brace. Every day it’s something different.
• Reading: #6 in the Beaumont series by JA Jance.
• Balance: Today writing a get well card for Gloria. She’s the lady who did the cards at the Discovery Shop. I arrived to take her to work, and found no one home. Her ride to a doctor’s appointment found her very faded, and she called 911. My almost dead cell reached her neighbor. Did she just give up when she had to give her car away? Just a thought.
