{Golfin' With the Link Boys}

I finally edited the handful of photos I took when we went home in August to see David's

family and my two Jens. The food I cooked this week -- meals Mary prepared for us while

we were there -- inspired me to revisit, edit and share our Michigan photographs. Little

keepsakes of a nice trip home.

*************************

One of my most memorable evenings from our trip was when I joined David and Art, my

father-in-law, for nine holes of golf. Those two golf together every chance they get. I tagged

along and took photos once in Dallas and hit balls with them at the range, but that's it in

eleven years. So, it was kind of a special deal to me to get out there and knock a few around

with them. Do their thing, with them, you know? Plus, I liked doing something different from

my norm -- a little travel adventure.

I didn't keep score or play out every hole. I did, however, celebrate a good shot (meaning I

made contact and the ball went in the air for 100 yards or so) even though it plopped in the

water upon landing. And I did a happy dance when I sunk a pretty lengthy put. I think the

boys got a kick out of it. It probably wasn't their standard round of golf, but we sure had fun.

I can see why people golf.

Gets the body moving.

Replenishes your vitamin D.

A little fresh air and nature.

A few laughs.

Some competition with yourself.

Mini victories.

It was a nice way to spend an evening.

I'm glad they took me I went.

More photos from home to come ... soon.
