Had a very nice pool weekend.
Thanks to the many who visited and made it such a good time! Pictures to follow if I can figure how to get them off my new phone?

Happy Hour for May 11 looking good
The forecast is for sunny and 72. Sounds great. We are now ON for Happy Hour. Come on over if you can.
BTW, Power ball was a bust. No numbers hit. Zero. We'll get them this week!

Nice start to the Happy Hour season!
The decision wasn't made until late to chance the weather and have the season's first Happy Hour.
It was a pretty good turn out and a nice evening until the storm hit a little before dark.
Don sponsored cake & we all celebrated Chris's birthday.
The scene stealer of the party arrived in a stroller escorted by mom Amie. We all through Ivy enjoyed Happy Hour and the attention received.
Peggy and Lynn were first timers. Turns out Lynn and I went to NHS at the same time. Nancy and Don brought that great hamburger / baked bean casserole + Sloppy Joe's and snacks were served. Alan and Bonnie were in attendance. Barry made a visit as the storm was rolling and things were winding down.
Loki came out after a while and seemed to get used to the hubbub of HH again.
Didn't take many but here's a few pics.

Pretty iffy forecast for tonight
The weather channel says 20% of rain at 3:00, 75% at 4 and then settles down to 50 / 50 for a few hours. Chance of rain dropping substantially after Happy Hour would be over.
We have not canceled HH yet so check back around 3 or 4.
I stand corrected on the burrito matter. It's Sloppy Joe's and chicken sandwiches on the menu.
If we don't do Happy Hour tonight pool side we might venture over to Mudflats in Galena. Great food, cold drinks and music. http://www.themudflats.com/ Love the place. Takes about 45 minutes to get there from our place. The band that played last Saturday was "Tin Pan Alley". Liked them. They started their first set at 8:30 which allowed us to stay for a full set! Made it home well before we turned into pumpkins. Check it out some time. I think you'll love the place too.

Water's warming up as the temps rise.
I'm thinking yes for a Friday Happy Hour. The weather forecast is hit and miss for Friday as of right now. Scattered pop-up is enough to be optimistic about. I'll be monitoring conditions throughout Friday to confirm here on your Happy Hour site.
Even if I can't get the heater fired up, some diehards might consider the pool acceptable for a splash on Friday. It's risen from a very chilly 55 on Monday to what I expect to be 70 for HH w/o heater intervention. The solar cover is doing it's job!
Beth is planning a Cinco de Mayo burrito theme. She test drove them on me and the euchre club. Yumm.
Check back on Friday.
