It’s easy to see golf not as a game at all but as some whey-faced, nineteenth-century Presbyterian minister’s fever dream of exorcism achieved through ritual and self-mortification. ~Bruce McCall
What does the day have in store for us? Breakfast with Little-Lisa and James at 9:00am before going into the blizzard conditions and playing golf at 10:52. A high of 59 degrees… E Gad, what are we doing?
Mad dogs and Englishmen comes to mind!
We had breakfast with James and Little-Lisa this morning at Old Ranch… Got to visit and catch up on the Porter side of the family! Golf was excellent and the rain made the little mushrooms (or toad stools) pop-up all over. Very pretty but probably not good for you!
The terms “mushroom” and “toadstool” go back centuries and were never precisely defined, nor was there consensus on application. The term “toadstool” was often, but not exclusively, applied to poisonous mushrooms or to those that have the classic umbrella-like cap-and-stem form. Between 1400 and 1600 AD, the terms tadstoles, frogstooles, frogge stoles, tadstooles, tode stoles, toodys hatte, paddockstool, puddockstool, paddocstol, toadstoole, and paddockstooles sometimes were used synonymously with mushrom, mushrum, muscheron, mousheroms, mussheron, or musserouns.
Mushroon soup anyone???
Really looked pretty but we are NOT going to try it
The goosers were on the lake and when they saw Sue they paddled like mad to get to her so they could have their snacks!
The goosers come for a snack
Old Ranch has bird island… OK, it’s a high spot on one of the lakes
After eighteen holes, we headed for the patio to have some Happy Hour and we waited for a potential social member to drop by and visit with us.

Off to Santa Ana and a dance with Larry Fresch and as an added attraction, we got Bill Maloof on guitar. We had Will and Iris, the Zaitz, Mongells and the Branders at our table.
We went to Santa Ana and danced until 11 PM
