Tuesday's are very special to me. That's the day I play golf with a wonderfully supportive group of women who have become role models in addition to friends. Tuesday golf is unlike the structured women's golf that is played here every Thursday. Tuesday's are for fun, sharing and connecting. Yes, scores do count. Rules are followed. Every putt is counted. And wagers are made before the round. But this group is special. We talk about politics, health and grandchildren. Our previous lives, too, including career, childraising and charity work. Most importantly, many of these women have already been where I am first going. They are steps in front of me on the path of Life and are generous in sharing their experiences. For this, I am very grateful. It helps me feel less alone in growing old and more appreciative of Life in general. So, I celebrate the Tuesday Sisterhood and their winning ways - both on and off the course! Pictured above, two comely golfers ready to play in last year's member-guest tourney.

Life After Wedding
Yes, things are SLOWLY returning to normal around here! We are still bouncing back from the 120 people three day wedding fest. It was a fantastic event, and everyone helped make it a glorious memory! Now, we are integrating back into the Real World. But slowly!! We have the rest of the summer to relax and regroup. To all who attended, helped and participated in every way with our daughter's wedding, THANK YOU!

A Fantastic Mother's Day, 08
This was a special, beautiful Mothers Day. I'm grateful to everyone for all the love and care that came my way from family and friends. Lisa and Danny drove down from Gainesville with gifts and smiles. We had a delicious lunch at the club. This was our third year there for the Mothers Day buffet and it did not disappoint. Champagne! Roast beef and ham for the meat eaters, fish for me. Salad, veggies. And desserts too decadent to name! I had to visit the dessert bar twice. I know I'm bad, but it was Mothers Day after all.
Off we went to Circuit City, where Danny spent his birthday money from us on a beautiful new Sony music player. He had to stop by and play an electronic guitar on the TV. Don't ask me how, but he strummed and the music played from a animated character on the television.
Today was a day when I really felt the love from my family. I was reminded of how quickly time passes and how important these milestone moments are.
Happy Mother's Day, Everyone!

Helping Those Less Fortunate
Today, our Ladies Club had it's monthly luncheon. The guests were mentally challenged adults from a local residential facility. Several club members work all season with this facility. It is one of Harbor Hills' favorite charities. Neighbors visit the residents, delivering greeting cards, playing games, listening to music and spending much-appreciated time and attention.
I was seated at a table with three gentlemen from the facility. Three other club members were at my table as well. Conversation was surprisingly easy. We held a hat contest which was great fun. We walked out to the balcony and took some photos. And together we enjoyed a beautiful lunch. The gentlemen next to me, turned and said, "That was the best meal I've ever eaten in my life." The man on the other side said, "When are you coming to visit me?" They tugged at my heartstrings.
And had me re-thinking perspectives on My Life...

Hail to the Champion...Again!
Pretty soon, there'll be no livin' with this guy!! Yes, hubby David took home the second in his series of Harbor Hills coveted tourney trophies. This time, he and friend Reinholt Hammer narrowed down the 42 men field and rallied in a three hole chip-off to win both the flight and overall tournament. It was another nailbiter, described here on Harbor Hills' own blog. But I could get used to being Mrs. Champion! It's been alot of fun and who can complain about all the 'sweeps' prize money for us in the Pro Shop?

Harbor Hills Titanic Party...Unsinkable!
Yes, the HMS Harbor Hills Titanic sailed Monday night and did not sink! We had a great time, with all the amenities the Titanic had to offer, without taking on additional water! Here are a few of the memories...(Montage created by friend and neighbor Ted Drzewiecki.) Click for a closer view.

A Long Day With Pictures...
So glad my 'work' today is over. As photographer for the 9 Hole Ladies Golf Invitational, it took me all day and evening to prepare the photos for emailing and display. Ninety-seven women including many from various local golf clubs participated. As I was asked ONE YEAR AGO to do this, I really wanted to do a good job. But next year...I just might be on vacation far far away!
