starry starry night

"Would you like to go night swimming at the Elk's Lodge?" I couldn't believe it, some dear friends of mine became a members at the lodge and were inviting me to go swimming! I didn't even have to think about it - Absolutely! There is something about night swimming that is magical. S said it was because it felt like a secret. It does have that feeling to it and this was one place that has held a special allure. I once live just a few feet from it and would wonder what was beyond the fence. It met my dreams with falling stars. How wondrous to have a pool to ourselves overlooking the Austin skyline with stars shimmering above. The pool was clean and company lovely. It was a great way to spend the anniversary of my Ironman and I hope to have many returns.
