Holy Cow I need to update more

...so its been months since I have updated this blog.

So, I still need to finish my Puerto Rico trip, but here is the skinny from the last 2 months.

In June, we went to Hocking Hills. Ohio for a weekend. My little sister graduated from Ohio University....go Bob Cats! We stayed at Getaway Cabins http://www.getaway-cabins.com/. Here is a picture of the cabin we stayed in...so cute. These cabins are soooo secluded but definelty not primitive and we were able to take the dog. Each cabin has a fire pit and a hot tub. My parents cabin even had a pool table and fuse ball table! We didn't have cell phone service for 2 days! Awesome!!

Lori B and I went to Norfolk, VA for a week in June for work. We attended meetings during the day, but were able to find some tourist-y things in the evening! We had some fantastic seafood and took a cruise on the river. We got a see quite a few naval ships and a couple dry docks! How cool! We took some pictures on the USS Wisconsin. My what big guns you have!


The month of July was pretty quiet. Fourth of July came and went. We hung out with family and friends. This was one of the warmest weekends so far so we got plenty of pool time! The brothers set off some pretty fantastic fireworks and I tried to catch a few pictures.


K and I took a vacation at the end of July. We went to Hilton Head with my sisters. It was HOT and HUMID. We stayed at my parents condo (time share) while they went to Alaska. We hung out on the beach and played golf 3 times. We played Robert Trent Jones at Palmetto Dunes, Arthur Hills at Palmetto Hall, and Oyster Reef in Hilton Head Plantation. We have been going to Hilton Head for about 20+ years, so we tend to take less and less pictures every year. But here is what I have.
View from our condo balcony. This is the Marriot Monarch in Sea Pines Plantation.
Robert Trent Jones at Palmetto Dunes.

Other than that, I have been playing ALOT of golf. What an expensive hobby! I has a golf lesson last week and learned that my putter was too long....so that means I get to buy a new putter! I decided on an Odyssey Lady Divine Rossie. I usually don't like ladies clubs...but this one I liked. I was pretty happy with my putting today.
Finally, here are some pictures from the garden and the pretty flowers! The garden picture is a few weeks old, cuz the sunflower is way past the fence now. We picked our first green peppers this week and I made stuffed peppers for dinner...delish....Thanks LB for the recipe!

Golf Outing for Leukemia and Lymphoma

Yesterday, my dad and I participated in a golf outing to support Pat Watson, a cancer survivor. Her story is incredible and her family is even more incredible. Pat has been in remission for over 5 years and continues to be thankful for each day. I met Pat yesterday and she was so thankful to us for supporting her golf event. I was impressed that she came to each table to introduce herself! What a special lady!!

The weather could have cooperated a little more. We were called off the course after 6 holes and just barely got into the clubhouse when the rain started.....and it started coming down sideways. The rain cleared out in about 20 minutes and we were able to finish the round. My last drive of the day won me the longest drive for ladies. I walked away with a giant basket of wine, wine glasses, wine rack, stirrers, and food. What a great prize!

Autobiography: Payne Stewart

I have been reading an autobiography about Payne Stewart, PGA player that died on 25 October 1999. PS was a great professional golfer but struggled to get to the top. 2009 marks the 10 year anniversary of his death and I am sure that the PGA players still miss Payne. Great Read!
