Winner - Presidents Cup

Since reading Monique's blog "A day in the life of a Surferwife" where she reestablishes herself as a surferwife and will now add Surf Reports to her blog, I thought maybe it was time for me to also throw in something about golf on the Golf Girls Rule blog! So here it is........this past August you know who won the Presidents Cup, which is a match play tourney against the brightest and the best in the Morgan Run Women's Club. However, a funny thing happened on the way to the tournament. Some of our brightest and best were injured or unable to play so ..... aha......I was pushed to the top of the ladder and competed in the A Flight. I played my hardest during some very tough mental times.....my Mom had been in the hospital twice and in a care facility during the same time that I competed. It took all my focus to stay in the game and still be "there" for Mom but thanks to my ever-present family, I was able to pull it out and come out on top.

And so, the picture and plaque are on the wall.....I have won the A Flight and Maria Hawksworth won the B Flight. However, a final match was played between Maria and I, just for the asterick, as they say. Maria won that so kudos to Maria...she is a worthy opponent!

You belong in the Zoo

It's been forever between blogs.....over six months it seems. I've finished with Passionate in Purple, done Perky in Pink, Wicked in White and am now working on Ravishing in Red......those would be guest days for the Morgan Run Women's Club. So just to get you up to date, the family has also celebrated a bunch of birthdays...Jason's number 7 and now he's losing all his teeth as he grows older...poor thing! Jimmy turned 3 and is talking much more and swimming like a champ; Haley became four years old, entered pre-school and knows all her numbers and letters (lower case and upper case, she says) and the biggest news is Samuel August Hill has joined the family....spitting image of Jimmy.....pictures will follow! September ended with the 90th birthday of my Mom (Aunt Honey, Grandma Honey, et al) which we celebrated with a birthday brunch at Morgan Run with over 90 of Mom's closest friends and family!

So just to take a break, a bunch of us took a walk around the zoo.....at the annual Zoo Walk. The walk is great, getting up early in order to begin the walk at 7:30 a.m. is brutal. The Long/Unruh family are real troupers and don't seem to mind the early wake up calls....Tracy and I have to get Jesse to kick us in our butts to get us moving in the morning but we managed. Jimmy, Sam and Maddie had a great time checking out the animals. We all got tee shirts, which are probably still sitting in the trunks of our cars!

So that's getting us up to speed. More pictures and commentary to follow.....
