Golf - a Lesson in Humility

Today was the humbling of Corrie. Golf lesson was at 10 am, and with the assistance of the pro, the ball got hit most of the time - not so later on the course. Clearly I need to practice what I was taught. I see many trips to the driving range and a few more lessons. The pro is good - he seemed to understand the physical limitations of a 66 year old woman and worked with me. He was very patient and thankfully, gave lots of praise and encouragement. I'll schedule more lessons with him

Later in the day, Jim and I played 9 holes with our neighbors, Stan and Faye, and thank heavens, she's a beginner also. At least both husbands were equally embarrassed. It was hot as blazes out there and NO Delta Breeze. Any other day and we would have needed weights on our feet to walk across the course, but not today. There were no other players behind us, so we could take our time and not get openly ridiculed. Jim was the best player of all of us - he really owes us for making him look so good. Even though it was hot and we played terribly, it was fun. It was also fun revisiting the game later with our other neighbors ( Rose and Leroy) once we got home in the shade and cracked a cold one. We'll do this again.

Good news - our blinds came today. They were delivered and now we're waiting for the installer to call and make an apt. to put them up. I had hoped we could have them in by Mother's Day, but that doesn't look like it will happen. As long as they're in by the Father's Day party, I'll be happy.

The bee plague seems to have settled down for now. There's still a few bees out there, but no swarming, and I'm reluctant to do anything more for now. Some bees are good - we just don't want them building a hive on our patio.

Tomorrow we absolutely must organize the garage.
