Happy birthday Bill, it's not the big one but sure will be next year.
Happy birthday Lyzi, XXVIII, looks like a lot more years in numerals.
  We wish you both a happy day and much joy and love.
  I got off to an early start as the guys driving today like to leave with margin for error.  It was Apache Sun this morning with our park group.  There are now 5 tee times as we were over the 16 players.  The group I was in went out first and took the markers for the longest putt and close to the pin.  I had the best chance on the putt, but missed it, leaving myself a 4 inch putt.  Greg had an opportunity to write his name on the tee shot closest to the pin, but it didn't stand up today.  The weather was great, sunny and warm and the guys I played with were good as well.  The score was not as good as last week, but it was a respectable round for me, never lost a ball.
  Marg did a bit of housework and then it was water aerobics.  There was a good turnout today and the pool although a little cool was the way she likes it for the workout.  A nice day for some pool time.
   We had a bite to eat and then I went and played pool for a couple of hours.  I played in a group of 4 the first game and when a fifth person came I left to play him.  He's a good player and we have a lot of laughs because we play with offense and defense.  I was on a winning streak, but he won the last 3 games, so it was pretty even.
  We went to happy hour.  We had not been for a few days, so the group were almost ready to send out a search party for us.  It was a smaller group today as a lot of them went to the Arizona Opry tonight.  We like it, but have seen the variety show so many times that we passed on it this year.  The other two shows they do are country and rock & roll as well as some special shows for times like Christmas.  Supper tonight was a bbq and Marg had some frozen cabbage rolls & crepes left from Christmas, so a great meal.
  After we went out to get water, the large 5 gallon bottle for the water cooler and the smaller 3 gal. we use at room temp.  Some people drink the water here, but it is quite hard water, so we just buy it at 20 cents a gallon.  There are cheaper places to buy it but they look sort of dodgy, not something you look for in drinking water.
  After supper we had a couple of facetime conversations with family back in GP.  There was no poker tonight, too many people went to the Opry show I guess.
