Left courdelaine resort yesterday with a 90 for 18 holes which happens to be an all time low score for me!!!!
We went on a float plane ride after golf around the lake.
Courdelaine is the nicest golf course I have ever been on.
Today we arrived at the Idaho Club, which is a prvate course open to the public after 11:00 every day.
This place is the opposite if courdelaines pristine manicured course. It is carved out of the forest. You golf in the wilderness. The greens and fairways are as nice but outside in the ruff is wild forest. It is beautiful!!
The iPad will not let me add images or videos, so those will have to wait until we get back. Next time we will take the computer as well.

Been a long time. What's up

2010-05-28T10:30:00.001-07:00

Coral & Jonas come over once a week. They are plugged into Sponge Bob Square Pants.

Chris got a photo from my sister's friend on the LA Swat team & the boys all got new swords to replace the cardboard rolls from work. I think they liked the cardboard ones better.

Chris' brother, Time comes buy almost weekly to visit and he loves the kids.

The boys were all excited! They actually got to TOUCH the Lotus!

Christmas vacation

2009-12-27T09:41:00.001-08:00

This Christmas we went to Monterey and stayed in a bed and breakfast again. This is the third time we have done this the week before Christmas. The difference this time is that we played golf at Spyglass Hill, which is one of five golf coursed in the Pebble Beach resort. It was great! It did rain on the back nine but when you are playing Spyglass Hill, you don't quit for anything.
We of course took the Lotus and enjoyed the drive up PCH. On the way back a storm had blown in the night before and the wind was blowing real hard which made some beautiful white capped seas.
Once we got back we had the traditional Christmas at home on Christmas morning with the kids opening thier gifts.
We had our neighbor over who had lost her husband this year to cancer.
We then went over to Chris' moms house for the usual 12 days of Christmas song and the gift exchange and of course lots of food.
All in all it was a really good Christmas for our family. We hope yours was the same.
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!!

Christmas morning.

We, Bradley Electric, did a job in Palos Verdes Estates that took two weeks. It was interesting as we stayed at a hotel next to LAX. There was this homeles guy in the side doorway. He would not even get up to go pee. I went by once and he almost peed on me.
The house is right on th cliff, but the ground was reall had. Glad I do not dig any more.

2009-12-10T19:38:00.000-08:00

In September Dan and Paula came out and we went golfing in Indian Welss with Micah and Bob Keeran. It seems that everytime I want to go golfing the weather is great until the day we go and then it turns hot. Well now it is the oposite, every time I want to go now it rains. Go figure.

First days of the Christmas holidays

Thanksgiving Lobster and steak feast

2009-12-10T19:09:00.001-08:00

This Thanksgiving we decided to bribe our kids to come home for the holiday. So we served them steak and lobster. We all sat down and we served as we cooked it. Everyone had a good time including the cat the the two smoking deliquents. Everything turned out wonderful and we had the greatest time together as a family, as the pictures would indicate.

golfing again, used golf balls, singing with dinner, rain & lunch out with Rachel Hogan in downtown Blacksburg

2009-08-10T18:58:00.001-07:00

We met a new neighbor who collects golf balls from the course that have gone astray and sells them in dozen egg crates for $5:00 a dozen. I bought 4 dozen and he gave me 2 dozen free. I let him know that he might get some back tomorrow.

We met our neighbors and talked economy, (most folks here a very conservative) housing market, someone to mow our property so it does not get out of hand, & she has a great doll collection. They are Ron and Charlotte. They tell me the man that lives across the street form the golf course collects golf balls, catogorizes them and stores them in egg crates to sell as used if you just knock on his door. So guess who will be knocking on his door today.
We hiked the trail to the Cascade falls next and did not quite get to the top before out tee time and had to turn back.
We went golfing at 5:00 pm and finished by 8:00 with an hour of daylight left.

The club house at Wild Hourse golf course in Velma OK. Thsi is one high class club. We used to take a honda mini trail 50 with a set of clubs, a pregnant Chris and myself to the course and go golfing almost 30 years ago when we got married and moved here.
When we pulled into Duncan OK we noticed that all the flags were at half mast. We found that a son of someone in the town had fallen in action in Iraq. The funeral was the day before and all the town businesses closed and the entire town lined the streets for the funeral procession. Now that is awsome! Would if the entire country felt that way.
This is the first B&B we stayed at in Duncann OK. It was right next door to the hospital that Micah was born in. We had no idea!
Breakfast on our own patio the next morning.
Look it's Luigi's tires from "CARS". This is somewhere in the panhandle of Texas of Oklahom.

2009-07-19T09:32:00.000-07:00

Memorial Weekend

2009-05-29T17:13:00.000-07:00

Harry and his son Andrew the musician.
Evan "the grad", his cousin, his aunt, his other cousin and his uncle.
Harry, Evan and Pam. The proud parents of a grad that did not waste his parents money.

We went to Evan Plymales graduation from San Diego State. He is the son of Harry and Pam, our freinds in San Diego. We all had dinner at an Italian resturaunt. It was fun.
On Memorial day, Monday, We played gold at Temecula Creek golf course. It was a really nice course and it was beautiful weather. We met up with and played with a couple that had jut recently retired from the Navy. He enlisted in 1973 in the USAF, served 4 years and got out when Carter got elected. He went back in under Reagan, but this time in the USN as a pilot and flew off of carriers. He then volunteered for the Seals and served the rest of his time there. He has been in 8 wars. Chris was so excited. I think she had more fun than I did as I played really bad golf that day. It was still enjoyable as my baby went with me and the weather was so nice. We did not remember to take the camera so all was lost on recording the events of the weekend, so the description will just have to do.
Until next time.

Chris took a video of Jonas walking.
I got a call from Chris one morning as I was getting ready to pull out of the shop and she was sure we had some big animal in the fireplace flu. Of course I had to go home and rescue her. As it turns out it was a couple of mocking bird chicks. Of course Chris had to let Meowser in to help out. The video says it all. Our cat just got old somewhere along the way just like us.

Oh, I say this on the way to work this morning and just had to take a picture.

Easter weekend

2009-04-16T19:43:00.000-07:00

Easter weekend we needed to get away so we got in the little yellow car and headed to San Luis Obispo via downtown L A. First stop was the Westin Bonaventure on Friday night. And of course no trip to the Bonavneture would be complete without time spent in the rotating loung on the top the turns aroung in one hour for a fantastic view of one of our top ten favorite cities.
From there we headed to San Luis Obispo on Saturday morning. It was a cold day so the top was up the entire time but the views ot the ocean and the company were the best. We stayed for the first time at the Sycamore mineral spring resort on the way to Avilla beach. It was just what we needed. Had a great time.
On the way home we drove almost all the way with the top down. It was cool and perfect with the sun shinning on us.
Life is good with my baby.
Lobby.
There is a running track on the forth floor along with exercise equipment. I'm not sure what any of that stuff is for.

2009-03-16T17:12:00.001-07:00

It has been quite a while since we went to the Reagan library. Since then He has passed on and air force one has been added to the exibits. A piece of the Berlin wall and a copy of the Magna Carta is on loan from Great Britian. It is the most visited of all presidential librarys. If you have never been, you really should go some time. It is Simi valley set on a hill where you can see a long way. It is beautiful.

Thsi was shot at Joliet Illinois at a Lotus Experience day. David Minter was my instructor. He gets a lot of footage in the Elise story done by Discovery Channel. What a funny and great diver. Was absolutley delighted that he was my instructor.

Neighbor's death

2008-06-28T20:58:00.000-07:00

Tonight we took dinner over to our neighbor. Her husband Joe is dying of MS. We feel realy out of place with the family there and Joe only having hours to live. It is very hard on Chris as her sister Linda is facing the same end. We prayed with them as they are all Christians and Joe will be face to face with Jesus soon. Our other neighbor Marylin's husband is dying with enphesema in the next couple of years as well. They do not know our savior, so please pray for them.
Joe will most likely be gone by this time tomorrow so please remember his family as well. Death will more thatn likely come to all of us at some point. I am glad that Chris and I have not had to deal with it in our imediate family.

Pics of our land and river area in Virginia

2008-06-28T16:45:00.001-07:00

This is the New River. at the end in the distance you can see our comunity.
This is awesome in the morning. The condensation on the river builds up until it covers everything only to slowly recead back into the river with the rising of the sun.
This is the view at the back of the property to the river. Eighty acres of farm land and only one house visable in the mountians across the river.
This is the view towards town. the front of the house will face this way which is north.
