Lubbock Community Conversations
Haversham neighbors, we suffered our first umbrella casualty over the weekend. One of us left the umbrella up Sunday, and the next storm through town did the rest. Walmart was very gracious about the whole thing and replaced the umbrella. That will not always be the case.
Please, if you leave the pool area and an umbrella is still up, lower it. It will stand a much better chance of surviving some of our West Texas breezes.
Neighbors:
This notice is aimed more at our new residents and their friends – who may not have read the Haversham Club Rules. Proper maintenance of the pool area and party house is our responsibility – yours and mine. We do not have hired help. Lubbock’s finest do not patrol the area.

First, if you must drink beer, drink it out of cans. ABSOLUTELY NO GLASS is allowed at the pool. If glass goes into the pool, we must drain the pool and completely clean it. There is at this writing a broken, clear glass behind a bush next to the door that goes from the pool to the party house. Will the guilty party please come clean it up – carefully.
Dumpsters are not for use other than pool trash and tree limbs cut small enough to fit inside without doubling over. On Labor Day there were three, large empty boxes in the dumpster, and there was no room for the stinky trash with old food, beer bottles and dirty diapers someone apparently left for the Trash Fairy at the pool.
If you fill up a can in the pool / party house area, then you take the can to the dumpster and empty it. There are new trash can liners in the kitchen cupboard.
NOTE regarding cardboard boxes: If you flatten them and stack them next to your trash can, the city will pick them up.
Thanks to the small crew who showed up Saturday for the pool maintenance training. Present were Gary and Charlotte Blaiss and Ron McQueen. It’s nice to have a few folks who can help. And speaking of helping, thanks to Gary for helping to clean up the tree prunings from around the dumpster area.
Dear Neighbors, maybe it’s something I missed growing up. You know, like Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny. I did figure out the Tooth Fairy thing before my first children started losing teeth, but I really thought when I moved to Haversham that there was a Trash Fairy that lived somewhere over at the pool or the party house.
A Trash Fairy. You know, some creature endowed with [Read more…] about Trash Fairy
