WALKER TALK: THE FIRST GOLF OUTING!

THE FIRST GOLF OUTING!

I gave Scott new golf shoes for Christmas, (which we didn't get until February because they had to special order his size 13A foot size). Ever since he got them he has been counting the days until he could go out and use them. Since we had such a beautiful week this week, he got my Dad to take us out Tuesday at Thanksgiving Point.

I was feeling so much better that I even got in a few shots before the energy was gone. I spent the rest of the time being a caddy for my Mom. She decided that she liked having a caddy and wants me to come along with her every time and do that for her.

We had a great time (even though I couldn't hit the ball straight) and I am already looking forward to the next time we can go! I've got my lessons lined up and my new shoes so I will be comfortable. I am going to get better at this game this year!

ANOTHER PICTURE FROM BEAUTIFUL HAWAII

THANKFUL FOR MY IRISH ANCESTORS

I never knew how much Irish ancestry I had until my wonderful Aunt Carol wrote this awesome history about my Dad's ancestors. There are still 8 castles partially standing over in Ireland that belong to my ancestors. Most of them (14 of them) fought in the Revolutionary War so that I could enjoy what I have today. There is also some tie to Bunker's Hill and Breed's Hill.

St. Patrick's Day never used to mean much to me until I knew my ancestry. Now I take time to think about them a little bit more during that time. I am grateful to them for being so brave and courageous to leave so much of what they had to come to America and start new. I am somewhat what I am because of them. I can't wait to thank them in person some day.

THE TWO SIDES OF WINTER

Have you ever noticed that there are two sides to winter? There is the beautiful side. The sun shining on the snow on a crisp morning. The silent snow falling in the full moon. The quietness that a snowy night brings. I love so much about winter and the fun and beauty that it brings. But there is a sad and lonely side to winter. When we were coming back from the cabin the other night we rode through the desolate camp grounds. The picnic tables where barely poking their tops through the snow. Somehow it made me sad and lonely. I realized then that winter has two sides to it.
