How Max and I became hicks...

What started out as purchasing a property in the country has now in retrospect turned into a gradual process of us becoming, well...hicks.  I did not see it at first but everyday it becomes even clearer.
Yesterday was hot, very hot, after being outside for a few hours decided to go to Walmart and purchase a kiddy pool.  It turns out $50 dollars will buy you a decent sized pool.  We brought the pool home and decided the best place to set it up was on the concrete pads on the driveway because it seemed level enough.  Well it was sort of level.  Who knew it would make such a difference?  After filling the pool with water it became apparent that it does make a difference but since we drained the cistern trying to fill it and because we are not sure how much water there actually is in the well it will just have to do.  
After a day with the crooked pool it appeared to be holding its own. 

Phase 2: the lawn chairs.
Today in the absence of something to float on in the pool I decided lawn chairs would be the best way.   After spending an hour in my lawn chair in the pool on my driveway the truth hit me...I am a hick.
