Golfing

>> Saturday, June 4, 2011

Ladies Golf League started two weeks ago. One of the ladies let me use her TaylorMade driver.
I was in love!!!!

So.... while in Pensacola, I found the 2009 on sale and bought the driver, 3 & 5 clubs.

LOVING IT! After league this week, I texted Don and Becka

Mary Ann: "Knocked 20 strokes off my golf game tonight with my new clubs.
Becka: "Woohoo!"
Don: "That's great....."

Golfing today with Don at 4:00. Would be happy if I golfed everyday :)

Memorial Day, Pensacola

What better way to spend Memorial Day Weekend, then at Ken and Becka's house in Pensacola.

Dinner and shopping in Destin (Scored big at the Ann Taylor Factory Store) at the Silver Sand Outlet Mall.

Window #1

This is my view out the kitchen window looking into the sculpture garden.

Erik made this sculpture at 17 y.o. when he returned from basic training at Fort Benning, GA.

It is his rendition of a grasshopper getting ready to jump. The trees hide the antenna and marble slitted eyes.

What attracted me to take this picture was the morning low light and the view I could see with the window open about 5 inches.

Summer, here we come

>> Friday, May 13, 2011

With winter behind us, I am excited for summer.

We drove up to Sister Bay this afternoon to welcome summer tradition and meet Mike & Sue at JJs LaPuerta. Good company and good food.

I seriously love the sweet potato fries. How Cammie waitressed there for 5-6 summers and stayed so slim, is beyond my comprehension.

Heading back down the Peninsula toward home, Don and I stopped in at Eagle Harbor to confirm our reservations. Our kids will be meeting us there for Father's Day weekend.

What a weekend it will be, because it is also Fyr Ball Festival weekend. Remember my posts from last year? Good Eating and Gnorman the Gnome?.

Why I love summer

Remember my post about the memories that is conjured up by smell?

The smell of a bonfire reminds me of graduation parties, the start of summer vacation, opening up the cottage, fudge striped cookies and roasted marshmallows (smores)
