Interesting Golf Points

Over the last number of years I have "played on words" with my hubs about his favorite activity, golf. I like to rag him when he purchases golf balls and even when he considers a new club. Heavens to Betsy if he considers a new set of golf clubs. That's "fresh meat" for me!!!             POINT #1:  Clubs are made with good material so why must you need to purchase a new set ever so often. They don't wear out, do they?

So let's move on to another issue with golf clubs. Saturday evening hubby decided that it would be a good idea to clean his golf clubs because it had been a while since he had done this task. POINT #2:  Ok now...you're going to go back outside soon & hit the dirt/ball again with said clubs so why clean to a shine.

He had all of them out in front of him on the floor.  Yes...there are eleven clubs. POINT #3: How many clubs do you need to hit 1 ball? Aren't they the same?

Well, if you look closely there is a difference...there are 9 clubs the same and 1 is different.

Just in case...here's a close-up of a few of them. Some have red markings & one has none.

Now if you believe that's the only difference in the clubs, you'll be even more surprised to find out that there is another difference. The clubs are marked individually with a number or other mark. See for yourself.....

AND...another surprise...some are "bent" more on the end than others. Club info overload. 

Now let's turn our focus to the little white or yellow or orange ball. I wonder if there are more colored balls out there. Oh my gosh.....LOOK!!! All different colors.

For a good day of golf you make sure you have plenty of golf balls. What????? POINT #4: How many does a golfer need on play day?

ANSWER:  A lot.

REASON #1: They get lost.

REASON #2:  They get wet.

and REASON #3: You just leave it alone.

I think I'll just let hubby have his fun playing golf, and I'll just keep acting a bit confused. POINT #5: I have Saturday mornings all to myself.

"my farm to the table"

Fresh veggies are wonderful! They are even best when you walk out your back door, around to your garden plot & "pluck" your harvest. 

My garden this year is just green peppers & tomatoes. The plants have been plentiful this year, and I haven't had to do much in protecting them from bugs, disease, etc. In fact, I think I have only watered them this year.

Tonight is peppers, onions, tomatoes, rice & pork chops along with some peas & cornbread. Only 15 more minutes until supper time. 

Mmmmmmmmm...good y'all!!!

What a fun, fun day!

Gayle & I went on an adventure today to MGM & had the best time. We began @ Stein Mart and hit the "jackpot". We both left "penniless" but happy.

I can't remember the last time that I went shopping & had such great success. The pieces purchased had a little retro look & I loved them all. I liked the way they fit me & looked on me. Yay!

Gayle found some shoes but we were going to DSW so she decided to wait before purchasing these knowing we could come back to the store to get these she found.

As we were checking out it came to our attention that we had skipped lunch being that it was 1:25. We laughed about this and talked about how neither of us had felt any hunger pains. WOW...that's a first for us!!!

Immediately we were hungry so we searched for a place to eat before getting back on the "shopping trail".

Our afternoon trail of shopping took us to World Market, Dress Barn, Ross, Pier 1 Imports and DSW. 

Just thought that these shoes @ DSW would definitely ADD that "SPARK" to my wardrobe.

Can't remember which store I saw this in

 but it got me to thinking.....

Advertising is strange.

July 1- 5 Vacay

As we head out this day

gazing upon the sun

perfect in its morning form &

an easy look to offer its brightness.

It's been 7 mos since hubby & I have traveled East...

kinda nice to have a chauffer. 

"Oh no!"...we both uttered.

Praying for this scene & the long line...be patient y'all.

(This line went on for approx. 3 miles. People were 

gathered outside of their cars on Interstate 20W 

in pairs, groups, etc. as they waited for the road to clear.)

Mother was glad to see us. Arrived with a surprise 

of a taco salad supper prepared by Susan. 

All of us had an enjoyable evening.

Happy Birthday Sis!

David & Glenn played golf 

 @ the State Park in Cheraw, SC.

Glenn, mom & I ate supper 

@ Captain George in Rockingham, NC.

the fire bites with memories of yesterday

some time with my brother

Another surprise for us was a 4th of July invite 

to join the Reeds for a cookout.

Home...Home...Home

There's no place like home.

AMERICA.....I'm sorry for how we have treated you these days. Our country is in a mess...a terrible mess.

I've seen our American Flag burned, torn & stomped on. I've seen our men in service spit upon, cursed at & mentally/physically hurting. All this.....in our national news. Where is the respect. Where is the pride in our country.

We've forsaken the governing words of George Washington & eliminated God and The Bible from our government. The desire is to no longer be that "One Nation Under God".

The people of this world are marveling & celebrating what they believe to be victory. Oh how sad that their eyes are still blinded, and their ears are bound.

We speak of revival in the land, and people.....now is the time.

Our Lord and Savior has been knocking on doors. He has been patient but I believe HIS TIME is near. People get ready...for you know not when HE will come. Will you be ready?

Even in the midst

of a messed up country

where worldly people

are celebrating victories of this world,

AMERICA.....

you are still "One Nation Under God"!!!

Our God Reigns and He is in control.

I am a child of God.
