My Birdie From the Progressive Best Ball Tournament!

Written on 8-27-26.

   Belinda and I are in Durango, and we are parked right across the street from Hillcrest’s hole #6.  We have a bit of time before dinner with Darrell (last name), of all people, who is here for work at the Durango Airport.  We are meeting at Serious Texas BBQ at 5:00, and it’s 4:20 now.  

It has been a productive day.  We weeded and fertilized our lawn, cleaned the Jeep, and picked up our Alto.  It was in Bayfield for nearly a month at Durango RV Repair with Brett to get a new lithium battery mostly, but we got some other things taken care of as well.  I can see it in the rear view mirror, and it’s fitting and wonderful to have it back where it belongs again.  Brett did an amazing job, and we will love having...

Belinda spoke with Danielle after we ate, and she informed her that she had spoken with many of her academy buddies this morning.  They are supportive, but they all said...
