We visited our children last weekend. It was a mind-numbing, fast trip, but it was soooo worth it. We celebrated Kyle's birthday, which is actually tomorrow. We also participated in a largely attended breakfast/brunch at Taos. I remember having seven circular tables pulled together and B just told me A counted 24 people in all. We did some shopping, and we got to meet many of the members of James's fraternity. We were thankful to stay at Debbie's; she's always a wonderful host and we feel right at home when staying there. This weekend, Belinda and I will be working on report cards and relaxing at home.
In golf news, I found the lost official birdie and eagle count that I had worked so hard on before the laptop fell victim to that awful rainstorm. In order to keep it safe-r, I am copying it here on my blog. I had included the first part of it in an earlier post, but what follows is the most up-to-date version. Phew! Here it is:
