Our little pool crew had so much fun on Saturday, doing our interpretation of cocooning and gossiping that it had to pick up again the next day. Let's bring snacks they said. Ok, cheese straws and champagne, that's the ticket!
We were the last to arrive. We look under the pavilion, and there is a table cloth on one of the picnic tables! This last minute planning idea resulted in a full blown pool tailgate! We had cheese straws, sausage balls, cinnamon rolls, chicken & waffles, fruit, and mimosas! What a deal! A late arrival came walking up with two small bags of chips and a box of cheesits. Girl! You gotta step up your game!
From here, our first topic of the day came from our mini-tailgate party. "Ya'll, let me tell ya about some of the crazy stuff from our Grove Tailgating!...." We all agreed, there are several universal "oh hell no's"that we all had in common:
1. Don't be walking up with just a bag of chips in your hand, oh hell no!
2. Don't be showing up at 12:00 for a 11:00 game with the sausage and biscuits that should a been there by 8:00. Oh hell no!
3. Don't show up, no ticket, no groceries, and clean us out while we are at the game. Oh, hell no!
4. Don't borrow a cooler because you forgot to bring one, then not return it to the owner. Oh hell no!
5. Don't be the one to announce, "were out of cups and paper products" when you never bring any. Oh hell no!
6. Don't show up late, and plop yourself in front of the tv and ask "when ya'll gonna have the game on???" Oh hell no!
7. Don't be showing up with several bottles of wine and ask, "anybody got a cork screw??? Oh hell no!
As the day wore on, even more topics were discussed. We all agreed to save the gossip for this coming week for next Saturday, for the next installment of Pool Talk, at the Markie Mark!
Retired in 2012. I'm trying to out run old age and boredom. So far, I'm winning the race!
