It's Good To Be King (s)!!

Yes, not only did David and Ron sweep their flight at this year's Harbor Hills Member-Guest Tournament, but they WON THE WHOLE ENCHILADA!!

Surviving the three hole playoff for each of seven flight-winning teams, only two teams remained. In a total nailbiter (believe me), David's superior chip clinched the win! The chip was struck to thunderous applause, as the neighbors, in golf carts, celebrated the victory! More surprises were in store for the Dynamic Duo at the banquet that evening. The winners, David and Ron, received a standing ovation and accepted their trophies (which looked remarkably like the Heiseman!) Additional prizes included: golf bags by Cadillac, gold-engraved putters and the prized Harbor Hills jacket, suitable for wearing at next year's banquet. A fantastic time was had by all!
Pictured below, our golf pro Brady joins the celebration!

It's A Rematch!!

Hard to believe that a full year has gone by, since David and his longtime friend Ron played 'lights out' at last year's Member-Guest tourney in Harbor Hills. But here it is again, and the Terrific Twosome will be defending their Second Place title, and vieing for First Place this year. The tourney is played Friday and Saturday, March 28 and 29th with a Thursday practice round. Saturday night culminates in a big bash with terrific prizes and trophies. I'm getting my party dress ready and a new spot on the credenza for a crystal cup! Pictured above are last year's triumphant winners!

Monster Truck!

Well, not really, but it sure seems that way to me! David rented this Chevy Trailblazer (complete with North Carolina license plate!) to take me up to Gainesville for my certification class this week while our Infiniti is being serviced. Of course, my vote was for the cute navy blue Miata convertible in the Hertz parking lot. But I got overridden as David will be doing the bulk of the driving on every day except Saturday, when he will playing golf with his Saturday group. I'm a sports car, low to the ground kind of girl, with luxury overtones, so this Monster Truck/SUV isn't really working for me. I drove it from Home Depot back to the Hertz parking lot to pick up our Infiniti. And I felt like I was driving a freight train! How the heck do you back up in this thing? It's as long as a city block! We shall see how it goes on Saturday, my only driving day. Meantime, David is happy and we already loaded in some new flowers for the garden. Maybe this "cruise ship" isn't as bad as I thought it was!

Celtics & the Heat - Up Close!

And personal, as daughter Sunni & boyfriend Kevin sat
in the 6th row of the Boston Garden. They enjoyed some up close time with Shaq and Duane Wade! So much FUN! Click for a closer view.

A Ticker Tape Parade???

Miami versus Florida State football will be played Labor Day. David, a die-hard Miami fan, chats it up with Adam, an FSU graduate. FSU will be traveling to Miami to open the season and face the 'Canes.

Will Adam's alma mata prevail?? Are those tapes actually calculations of the odds?? Only time will tell...Stay tuned for more on the Big Rivalry...

The Unusual Neighbors

You gotta love the diversity of our new neighborhood! Actually, that's Shawn, pictured with his brand new "bike." Shawn's been a "Villager" since 1965 when he bought land right in the centre of what today is known as, "The Villages." Lucky Shawn!

Shawn will be installing the stone surrounding the mantle of our fireplace next week. There's always something interesting going on in this community! Click on the photo for an expanded view.

In The Bleachers Again...

Just like old times! David and I were in the bleachers as we were for so many years through football, cheerleading, soccer, softball, baseball and basketball! Only this time, it was our grandson Danny playing for the Gainesville, Florida team. Unbelieveably, Danny, Number 23, made the only touchdown that won the bowl game for his team! It was great fun- and reminded us how quickly time passes...Double click on the picture for a closer view!

Go, Sox!!

Our youngest daughter Sunni, Kevin and friends just returned from a weekend in Baltimore. They cheered for their Number One team, the Boston Red Sox (of course!) A great time was had by all...and the Sox notched a much needed win!

Walk Down Memory Lane

Anyone recognize this handsome golfer? A budding Jack Nicklaus, perhaps? It's none other than David, circa 1963, a mere forty-two years ago. And yes, he still has that perfect swing!
