Hidden Valley Golf Tourney.

 As suspected, the weather did not want

to cooperate AGAIN for the boys' golf

tournament.  It was seriously windy and

rainy during much of the tournament.  I

took this pic while peaking outside of

my blanket and two hoods.  It was so

windy that my umbrella repeatedly blew

inside and out BROKE.  I was so mad that

I threw the darn thing away in a trash can

on one of the tee boxes.  You can see my

golfer in the wee distance.

Hidden Valley Golf Course is a very

beautiful golf course.  It is nearly 60 years

old!  The trees are amazing and there are

birds and wildlife everywhere around the

course.  I think that I had much more fun

than the golfers who were trying to golf

in this mess all day long.

The 17th hole is where Gram made 

one of her SEVERAL holes in one.

They have a little bench on this hole.  I

took advantage of it and thought about

her and the many memories that we 

had together over the years.  I also said 

lots of prayers for all the we have going

on at the moment and felt very peaceful.

I have been excited about the 17th hole

at Hidden Valley Golf Course all season

long.  I tried to give my Sam some advice

on how to shoot a hole in one on that hole . . .

Yeah, right!  Anyhow, today was a great

day.  It tried to take advantage of being in

the outdoors, reflecting and being thankful

for all of our very many, many blessings.

MOVING UPDATE:  How much do you

like to clean the refrigerator?  Well, tonight

I conquered that demon by cleaning the

refrigerator at our rental home.  Mercy!

The boys and I think that we are pretty

much packed around this pad!  We have

bubble wrapped and taped just about

everything besides ourselves and the

dogs.  We are down to one spatula, some

silverware, and a toaster . . . 

13 days and counting . . . (Do you love

how I like to skip count?!?)
