The Day Began With Breakfast And Eighteen Holes on 10/25/2013
James and Bunnaford do some puttin'
James (often called Sandy by his friends) whacks the ball
Quotation To Remember: Most of us don't need a psychiatric therapist as much as a friend to be silly with. ~Robert Brault
James yells.... "It's a bird, It's a plane, It's a biplane??"
Sputtering along overhead....
James told us about his last flight.... They took the convertible....
Quotation To Remember: The antidote for fifty enemies is one friend. ~Aristotle
The Bi-Plane does another pass
The pelicans and their little friends came to watch!
Bunnaford races out to capture them on film
This is what is called "Black and White"
Lunch time.... Scaring up some fish
Did You Know? - Pelicans have abnormally large beaks which they can use to store various things, including people to smuggle across the United States border. Another important use is for the transportation of the obese population that is prevalent in the United States. For some reason they are capable of swimming, which defies the laws of birds as birds are supposed to fly and not swim.
Additionally, due to their uncanny ability to quickly soak up petroleum based products and store them in their feathers they have emerged as the premier clean-up solution for oil-spills and were instrumental in mitigating the BP Gulf Oil crisis. All oil tankers must now store at least 37 emergency pelicans on board at all times.
We get buzzed again... and before the 19th hole?!
"Hey guys... Lookie here!"
Charlotte gets real close by walking like a pelican! Note" We tried to get Charlotte
to do the "Birdie Dance" but alas she wanted to maintain decorum on the fairway
It's That Magical Time.... Happy Hour
When Linda explains.... Everybody listens
Especially James
who knows the magic words.... "Yes Dear"
The photographer gets "The Charlotte Look" sometimes called "The Evil Eye"
Sue enjoying the camaraderie
John and Ernie join us... Needed to show Diane what "The Pit" is all about
Diane and James...
James wanted to know what the Happy Hour special was?
Charlotte and Diane
The sign on the tables does not represent what is happening
Not in this crowd... We look forward to Fridays and Sundays at "The Pit"
Thanks to Charlotte... We were here today
Shaun has arrived... The party can now start in earnest
Terri and Linda share photos.... You know... Grand kids
James takes the oath....
The table keeps expanding....
Charlotte won't tell her age but we know is about twenty-nine
We arranged live music for the celebration
We made sure Charlotte was properly seated... Where she could not run away
The calorie-free cake is served complete with candle
We take pause to look at the cake
The fire department limited the number of candles we could use
Stand back.... There is a breeze a brewing
Complete with decorated cake dish
John stands ready with the fire extinguisher
The sun had set and the sky was beautiful... View from "The Pit"
The fog is coming in
We are headed for the Garden Grove Elks to dance
Dance time....
Song: "Come Go With Me"
