Written on 5-8-18.
It’s a Tuesday evening, and the sun has just disappeared below the horizon. Belinda and I are sitting out on Haven on her new chairs from Lowe’s, the cushiony, blended blue and black colored chairs she got for her birthday and Christmas. Chopper just made a special visit to say hello with neighbor John. We don’t have a favorite little dog, but Chopper is our favorite little dog.
We just got back from Prescott two days ago after a fun-filled, celebratory, family weekend for Emily’s graduation from Embry-Riddle where she received her degree in Aerospace Engineering. She already has a job in Colorado Springs at a tiny company called ADS, Applied Defense Solutions. She actually turned down a position at Lockheed Martin to take this one, and that was after she requested and was given a bonus to start there. This Friday, it’s her older brother Daryl’s turn. He will graduate from UCCS with a degree in Communication and Leadership. Super proud of my nieces (Erica graduated from ACU last spring) and nephew!
On to golf…
We brought my clubs along thinking some of us might play after Emily’s party on Saturday, but it didn’t work out, which is fine. The party continued without a pause for naps, so we stayed and celebrated and visited the entire time. Before we came back home, though, it was decided that Bruce, Eric, and I would play together at Riverview on Monday (yesterday) using C.J.’s free round for four that he had won at the Mosaic Academy’s fundraiser.
I have been so busy with work, traveling, getting ready for The First Tee, and household stuff that I have not played since Red Hawk in Las Cruces. Because of that long gap, it was fabulous to get to play once more, and it was even better to get a free round with this foursome at Riverview on a gorgeous spring day.
The game was best ball match play, of course. Since it was a close match, I will do the quick hole by hole breakdown in the next post.
