Thursday

I don't know why I set an alarm.  I had it set for 6AM today and was awake at 5:30, so got up and made coffee.  We had to leave at 7 this morning for a golf game at Viewpoint, there were 4 of us from the park here.  It was an 8 AM shotgun start and we started on #8.  This first both shotgun start and game played at this course.  The course certainly proved challenging enough and the postage stamp sized greens never had a flat spot on them.  The only disappointment was the traps were more like the desert, they were not loose sand by any stretch, but they weren't too bad.  We finished in good time and were home just after 12:00.  We started off with a jacket, but by the 2nd hole were in shirt sleeves.
  Marg went out to get a few things for the baby shower, including a gift for the baby.  She loves buying baby stuff, so it was not big chore for her.  There has been lots of activity around the shower that is keeping her busy.  She even managed to take in water aerobics, a nice day for it.
  Lunch was a treat, french toast, as she had some buns that had to be used up and they work out really well this way.  I was actually getting pretty hungry as I just had a muffin this morning followed by lots of activity.  After lunch we went to fill the truck, I think gas was $2.07 a gallon, then a stop at the dollar store for more shower stuff.  Good thing is you get lots of stuff there for a couple of bucks.
  I went and played pool in the afternoon.  It seems there was a foul up when it came time for the tournament today, so they guys just played among themselves at our pool room.  I played with the two guys who kicked my butt yesterday along with another guy from the park and we had some real good games.
  When I got home Marg had more company, I'm beginning to wonder whether she is running a social service or something here.  LOL  We went to happy hour and it was fairly well attended today.  It didn't seem to be as noisy as normal and I actually was able to enjoy a few conversations.  Can hardly wait to see the fall-out on the shower among the ladies.  There are a few who will not be receiving invitations, because the list was proposed by the grandmother of the baby and there are some of the happy hour group she does not care for, so did not include & Marg has taken the position it is for them, so they should make the guest list regardless.  Yikes.
  Finished off the day at the animal races.  Someone in the crowd had switched out the elephant with an antelope.  Well I wasn't having any of that so never bet it and consequently won only once out of the 8 races.  Marg won 5 races, but they all paid well, so she was quids ahead, nice to see.  Well see maybe, but hear about?
