Oh Yes, I know the heading is not proper grammar!
What started out as a slow Spring/Summer is fast becoming busy.
Last week was very busy with Alexandra’s graduation on Friday night, then on Sunday we had Jessica’s (Nieces daughter) graduation party to go to (about 1-/12 hours drive away) so that was a very full day.
They live on a farm and so there was lots of space for everything…even horse riding.
Mark, her dad, had built onto the end of his workshop a huge addition this past Fall and even put in heated floors…this is the space he’ll work on his big machinery – but so far it has been used for their huge Easter dinner and now Jess’s graduation party.
All the kids played Volleyball for most of the day
Jesse our oldest grandson (21) and Aidan our youngest (3 next Monday) were the only two grandchildren that could make it there. Jesse is in the gray and white stripe.
My step-mom in the white jacket (right).
And naturally we had to get some pictures of Aidan around the farm

Way up on the big tractor. See him in there!
Tire is taller than Aidan
So that was our weekend…
Then the week I got busy with orders and then yesterday we decided to take advantage of a perfect day (temps in the mid 70’s and breezy).
It was perfect Golf weather (for me that is…).
So we headed on down to the place we had our Golf Clinic and also our favorite place to golf. Prairie Woods. It’s a bit of a drive for us but well worth it just for the scenery alone.
The weather couldn’t have been more perfect…and the breeze made it even more so…actually quite windy at times.
Story with this place is…when our boys were very little, along with my brother’s family, we would go out there when it was just a farm and woods…mainly HICKORY NUT TREES…we would spend many Saturday or Sunday’s out in the woods picking Hickory Nuts…the kids loved the adventure and we’d take a picnic lunch along too and made a full day of it letting the kids wander in the woods finding treasures. The owners being friends of my brother made it possible for us to go there so it was always available to us.
So this place has some wonderful memories. Most of the woods are cleared now for the golf course but it’s just a pretty place to be.
So on with my day…just pictures of the golf course.
BYE-BYE! Oh yes, quite windy…see the fluffed hair!
Today is swim class at the fitness center, then Lola kitty has an apt. this afternoon…she’s so darned sick again!
Then busy with orders the rest of the week…then Father’s Day Sunday, Aidan’s birthday on Monday and Tuesday I have my procedure on my back…guess I had better get some books loaded on my Kindle because I’m going to be resting for about a week after that.
Thank you again everyone who follows me – and for all your fun comments. You are the reason.
Have a good one!

Other than for the rain, we've also had some pleasant weather for being outside some. Hubby's been doing yard work. I tried golf lessons years ago and found out had badly I stink at golf ;D so I gave it up. My clubs stand in garage and I should try to get rid of them, I guess.
ReplyDeleteYou certainly have been busy and it doesn't sound like it's going to slow down any time soon. Aidan was so cute and tiny with all that huge farm equipment! So glad you were able to enjoy a relaxing day on the golf coarse!!
ReplyDeleteKim
What a wonderful get together on the farm! I'm a horse person but I don't think I ever once rode barefoot, short-shorts and a tank top!! Hope your procedure goes well!

Great pics! The farm graduation looks like a lot of fun. Funny about that golf course, I picked up a magazine somewhere and was leafing through it and it had pics in it a golf course in Wisconsin that used to be woods also, wonder if it was the same one?
ReplyDeleteHope that your procedure goes well.
Cathy
Love seeing all the pictures and you are a busy girl- that is for sure. I woke up this morning thinking about my week and realizing I don't even have a day to call my own until next weekend. I guess that is the way it goes! I sure hope your procedure goes well and works. We are praying for you.
