Chilly Spring evening at the pool

Our swimming pool association had its Spring general membership meeting this past Thursday evening. We were supposed to meet at 7 p.m. at a nearby church. When we arrived a few minutes before 7, everyone was still milling around in the church parking lot. The church had agreed to let us meet there, but nobody showed up to let us in.

So, we all headed over to the pool! It was pretty neat to go through the gates just before dusk. The pool is still wearing its winter coat and all the chairs had gone home for the winter. There was something really magical about being there.

We headed for the pavilion, turned over some picnic tables, set out the refreshments, and gathered wood from the grounds (head start on Spring cleanup) to build a fire in the fireplace.

It was a cool evening, and we had probably the shortest meeting on record, but it was fun having our Spring reunion at the pool with the fire to chase away the chills.

The pool opens at noon on May 24. We can't wait!
