Hello, my name is Christine Granados. I’d like welcome you to my podcast: Tales from the Hood, Motherhood that is. I’m the author of two books of fiction, and I’ve been a writer at daily and weekly newspapers for over 20 years. What you’ll be listening to are anecdotes for parents, all about the struggles and joys of raising children and being married. Because I’m stuck at home in the middle of a lovely and hot Central Texas summer during a global pandemic, I thought I’d devote episode 9 to my history with swimming pools, which is a love-hate relationship.
