I was informed last evening that my husband had to work today :-( The good news? Grandson Ben was coming to spend the night & help us go for hay tomorrow! The morning was so sunshine & beautiful - I couldn't believe that the forecast storms would appear. I was in Lake Stevens to pick up Ben by noon. We stopped at the Bakery in Snohomish for lunch, then ran some errands & finally got to the pool in time for the last afternoon swim!

On the Sat. before Easter, Jentry had Skyla's 4th birthday party here & we all had a blast! I didn't swim, instead took photos. Today though, I was ready to try out the salt water pool for myself. With Ben's encouragement - we met at the lap pool, much quieter - with only a few swimmers in the 12' end & no one doing any laps. We walked to the far end - the depth was marked & I expected the far side to be shallow. Wrong - it was 7' - 2' deeper than I am tall! Hummm... I can swim, yes I can - but I like to be able to touch the bottom! Not here! I took the lane next to the edge of the pool :-)
I found that swimming in salt water does take more effort, but it's so nice not to have all the chlorine. Ben & I could use the same lane & he easily outdistanced me :-) To my credit though - I did manage six laps! I felt it too! Afterward when we walked out - the storm had hit - temperatures dropped to the mid-40's & hail was falling! That didn't stop us from going for frozen yogurt on our way home!
