Carolyn and I are celebrating our 50th Anniversary with most of our children and grandchildren. For those that were not able to make the trip -- you are sorely missed, but are in our minds and hearts. We dearly love and cherish each and every one of you as couples, families, and individuals. We are so blessed to have you in our lives.
We are sharing 2 wonderful 3 bedroom units for a few days. It is so good to see cousins, kids, and spouses sharing, playing games and enjoying one another!. I hope to share some pictures - in some ways google has made that harder.

Unfinished Business
Never did finish my last post- interesting. Sometimes I lose touch with things. My mind wanders - for that matter- my heart wanders.
Over the past few months I've let diabetes back into my body - high blood sugars are once again creeping in. I'm now taking steps to get that back under control.. Even to the point of monitoring my blood sugar again.
Bowled in the Colorado State Seniors Open today. Team event was today, tomorrow is a singles and doubles day. It has been a bit of a struggle this year. I've had lots of inconsistency - my best has been a 593 series, my worst, a 419 series.... That is a huge range. Well, that means there is a lot of room for improvement.
Weather (even though we had 4 " of snow the other day) is back up to a balmy 74 degrees. I'm looking forward to both golfing and bowling Sunday through Thursday. It should be an awesome week.
Switching subjects - we bought some great pillows from Sobel - Sahara Nights Series. I really liked them when we stayed at Paradise Point -- the pillows really were luxuriously wonderful! It was a great purchase
Another switch... it has been a busy week... cleaned garage, replaced toilet in the guest bathroom after desperately trying to repair the old one.... I just decided to give the effort up and replace it.. I've shut down the sprinkler system, but need to get it blown out. I think, but not sure, the job is scheduled for the 25th of this month.

Living the Dream
I'm living the dream - almost, the only thing that would bring it closer would be having a fishing pond or lake off the back door patio. (Lana Babes IS living that dream!) I guess if I really wanted to, though, I could be totally living my dream - but, and there is always a but- my dream is not the same as Carolyn's. I think after 50 years of blissful marriage I would know what her ultimate dream would be - I don't!
So I think that would be a great topic for conversation on our upcoming adventure. If only I can remember to bring the topic up. I've got a very short term memory when it comes to that type of discussion.
Today I play in a senior-inter-club match at Heritage Eagle Bend. Played there last year too. I'm looking forward to the match today. I've put together two decent rounds of golf in two consecutive days- so, I'm very happy. I played golf with a gentlemen (Mike) yesterday - probably older than I am- wow did he have a fantastic short game and an excellent long game for that matter. One of the things he did was have a steady routine prior to each shot. He never ever lost his cool - he was reflective of each shot and then went on to the next - he carries a 12 handicap whereas mine is 19 (or close to it).
I've completed the - for the most part, because nothing is ever really finished or completed - the Koi pond retaining wall. I'm now starting on finishing the patio project - sealing and such. It is a busy and very joyful summer!
May all your days be joyful days! They are what you make of them!

Day After The Birthday Celebration
Thanks to all for the kind birthday wishes!
So, yesterday was my birthday - golf with friends, calls and text messages from the kids, some notes from Lockheed Martin fellow workers, a great bottle of scotch which I have not yet opened (From a dear friend), frozen margaritas, a house full of relatives and some grandkids, nephews and nieces, followed by an open house today! And, notice the larger text - we all know why that is!
I won't say much about anything, but..... our threesome scored 1 first place, 1 third place, and a closest to the pin!!!!!! Wow, that is a first.
Carolyn is headed for her Tuesday workout with WTF! She is such a go-getter.
As for me - nothing witty to say! At least not today. I just need to get in the habit of writing again. Love and hugs to all.... smile at someone you don't know today. Say hi.... give some one a break! Give someone a reason to smile back at you! Toodles and Roses!
