Memories from my life....
My mother has a green thumb. I think she may have inherited it from her father, who also loved gardening. Last week my mom dropped off a bag of beets. I spent a couple of hours this weekend pickling them. I can't wait to sample these ruby red beauties!
I accepted an invitation from Altus to participate in a "women's only" golfing tournament this past Wednesday, a day that was sunny and hot, 33 degrees - some would say "perfect" golfing weather, but for a fair skinned gal like me who knows only too well the nasty effects of heat stroke, it was a bit too hot. Slathered in sunscreen, donning a golf visor and armed with a supply of chilled bottled water (which quickly went lukewarm), we hit the links. I tried staying in the shade as much as I could (if not the shade of the trees, the meager shade offered by the golf carts). My foursome had a great game; in fact, tied with another team for the lowest game score (entirely to the credit of my teammates, Pearl, Lynn and Tracy). I had an awesome time reconnecting with people I had not seen for well over 6 months while we were in England, getting a bit of exercise and enjoying the beautiful scenery just minutes from the City limits (and only 1/2 hour from where I live). I am blessed indeed.
With the last days of summer coming quickly to an end, Andy and I headed to the mountains. Such a beautiful day for a hike!
