There's an irony to working your ass off in that heat on your pool and not being able to cool off in it later.

Its later ,
The Pools not Full yet but its deep enough in can float and drink a cold beer

yes I still need to tighten up the axles and glue a few Pieces on the Handle , But it works Great !!!!

Today I spent several hours scanning pictures from my mother's WWII photo album. Some you may remember I have mentioned that my mother was in the OSS and went out to India and on to China with Julia Child and also worked with Paul Child. In Chungking she met my father who was a major in Britain's MI9 unit.

I just finished reading Jennet Conant's new book, "A Covert Affair, Julia and Paul Child in the OSS". I contributed material for the book from mother's war letters and a diary that she kept, written in shorthand! Anyway, it got me thinking that maybe I will try to put something together as I have hundreds of letters and photographs. Even if is just for me and my family it would be a way of sharing the information.

So here are some of today's images:

1. My mother at her desk where she worked as the secretary to Col. Dick Hepner who was Chief of the OSS Detachment 404. note the barbed wire covering the window for security.

2. Paul Child, another officer and Col Hepner working on war maps.

3. Julia Child with some other OSS staff in Kandy, Ceylon.

4. My mom, the caption on the back says "crossing the Yangtze by ferry." I love the very 40's sheik V-neck sweater, nice permed hair and sunglasses. She grew up on a farm in Minnesota and after the war never moved back, she and my dad moved to NY and loved to travel from then on!

In the second picture, w/Mr.'s Child and Hepner, I feel like I know what that is on the table. No, not the bowl! I just can't pull it out of my memory. I want to say it's a radio, but, that doesn't feel right...musta killed that brain cell at some point.

Even the pictures you didn't take are cool.

It's a telephone.

Oh, yeah, I see. Did it take two hands, one for the talking hole and one for the hearing hole? Or what?

I also just now noticed the padlock on the jeep hood.
