Sun, Fun, and Hard Labor

On Friday, my company had their annual golf outing. The morning shotgun start began with dreary cold conditions-we were freezing to death in the winds! But, by late morning the sun was out and we were moving on the 18 holes of golf. I did pretty good considering the wind and the fact that I have not been on any golf course since last year's tournament in October 2006... I did get to use my new golf clubs that Mike bought me- Lady Wilsons, of course!
This past Saturday we attended the Steeplechase at Callaway back in my home town of good ol' Pine Mountain. We met up with some old friends from my highschool days and watched the races while enjoying great food and drinks all on some one else's ticket. How nice was that? We were all set to tailgate.... the conventional way... coolers of drinks, lawn chairs and sandwich ingredients. But, John managed to score us tickets in his company's sponsored tent on the "uppidity" side of the horse track and we took full advantage! We had a wonderful time with a great group of folks and my sunburned face was proof that the weather was great too!

Sunday we had our first work day on the new property... land clearing is definitely a slow and difficult process. The family all showed up and pitched in and by 5pm you could actually see a few of the large oak trees and an old antique barn that have been overgrown with large bush-like overbrush for who knows how long. We bush-hogged out the driveway into the property and planned for our next work day in a couple of weeks.
After three days of sun, fun and hard labor, I am BEAT.
