As you browse through the pictures I think you'll see what I'm referring to... Mr. Fox (not George Clooney) on the Golf course, Goose and the goslings on the fairway, and our Tree Trimmer, Tyler doing his Cirque du Soleil act from high above our front porch, chainsaw and all.
I played a lovely course, Monarch Bay in San Leandro, a fund raising event for The Horizon Foundation. It was great fun and my team, "The Coastal Gals" won Third Prize with an overall score of 66! Pretty impressive...well I was impressed. It really helped that one of the gals, Carol is the pro at the Half Moon Bay Golf Course. In addition to hitting the greens on every hole she strategized the play and her energy made me look like I was in reverse, now I know what it must feel like to be with me!
Mr. Fox walked right up to us, it was amazing. He obviously has the run of the course. I'm just glad he didn't decide to snack on the goslings or their parents. He opted for part of a turkey sandwich.
Watching Tree Trimmer Tyler was truly amazing. He lashes himself to all sorts of rope and cable and then flies through the trees, hoists up the chainsaw and cuts away the branches and lowers them down to the ground and continues until he prunes it just so. Then he does his "Fargo" thing and grinds it all up and carts it away. He's been doing this for over 20 years and he absolutely loves it. I think you can see the smile on his face. Lesson learned...when you love what you do it's not work.
You all know us well enough to know we will find any excuse to make a party. This time we didn't have to. After the new roof was installed Jaime, our extraordinary contractor and Caesar, our fabulous plumber did it for us. Caesar brought in a shipment of 30 lbs. of Louisiana Crawfish and Jaime fired up the grill and voila...Cajun happiness in a pot. Our first BBQ. I didn't have to shop, cook or clean up. Doesn't get better than this. A great kick-off to the Memorial Day Weekend.
