Golf & Dancing… Life Is Good

A kiss is a lovely trick designed by nature to stop speech when words become superfluous. – Ingrid Bergman

We had breakfast at ORCC this morning so we could get an early tee time…  There was a tournament planned at our normal start time.  James was busy attending to his mother’s affairs and we really miss him!  Tomorrow is Friday and gardening/doctors day and we wanted to play today for sure!  We got 10:22 and it worked out fine… We played in about three and a half hours today!

On the course trying to hit that danged little ball!

On the fifth hole the fence between Old Ranch and the market was lit up like a Christmas tree.  When you walked by the smells from the blossoms were almost over whelming!  Beautiful Mother Nature!

Is it Spring yet? The flowers think so and the smells are fantastic

We did the requisite Happy Hour… Two glasses of the vino and we were ready to go to work at home!

Golf is over, wine is gone... We are on nour way to get duck food

We went to the feed store and got 100 pounds of “Ultra Deluxe Duck Food”… Vitamin fortified scratch with full corn kernels!  Our babies love the food!

We then went to the H&H Nursery and got strawberries, potatoes, basil, peas, tomatoes, and several other plants to put into the garden tomorrow.  Our broccoli is ready to be harvested already!

The ducks and geese in the feed store are so funny... Love to watch them

While waiting for the bags of food a line of ducks came into the store and walked around quacking up a storm!   So very funny to see these little guys waddle and quack and look up as if to say “You are a funny looking duck!”.  They stopped to grab a snack before heading back out the door and we grabbed the camera.

We headed for home, did some gardening and other chores and then off to the Thursday evening dance!

Dancing at the Phoenix Club until 11:00 with friends... New and old

We danced with the Zaitz, Nancy and Vince, Marianne and Craig and several other friends.  We only had 65 here tonight so we must get busy getting folks to show up.  About ten of the regulars were in Palm Springs.

We headed for home, watched one short show and then crashed for the evening.  Tomorrow is a big gardening and work around the house day!

About Paul

Just an old retired guy trying to finish out my last years on this planet. I lost my best friend and wife in early 2020. I was blessed again by reconnecting with Dr. Mary Côté, a long-time friend. Mary and I got married July 28th, 2021, and are enjoying life together and plan to spend the rest of our lives being a blessing to our friends and family.
