YIPPIE! Tis that time !

I am thrilled! The Pool is open and just looking at it makes me smile. LOL It is too cold for me to swim but already I am constantly shouting  "Scruffy - Out of your boat!"  The second Norm starts we all gravitate to the back deck, so many fond memories to be had and make!  The opening of the pool is significant! Who is the first one in the pool?  It's been a challenge over the years! Last year was a guest from TEXAS! LOL Who - LOL - not use to our Canadian summers THOUGHT that that water must be as warm as the air - so he did a cannon ball  without doing the 'toe test" I'm still giggling at the Texas 'YELP!'   Storm has been it, Norm has been it a few times, Don (our oldest entry at 70) JUMPED in as soon as the cover was off one year! KOWABUNGA thank God he never had a stroke!   Tequila  has been it a few times too!
It also goes without saying if you are on the pool deck in our home you are 'fair game'  *EVEN Storm with his hearing aids has to be careful.  I can't tell you the number of times I have gone in fully dressed - not expecting to swim. So after 20 years just the thought of doing this as I sat and watched Norm on Monday brought me a bit of marriage bliss. 
I know that I would get away with it- it is expected of course.. and we would even laugh about it later. I did not do it. Probably because after 20 years he does know me too and he usually ends up dragging me in with him!  I am positive there are more pool toons to come!
