Baby Shower for Jack Small!




On Sunday, Beth and Kirk hosted a baby shower (Jack & Jill style) for Derrick, Jacky and baby Jack. Derrick did a terrific job opening all the gifts and everyone had a great time! I made sure I got my baby time in and man-handled Jack as much as I could!




A few of us even took a turn on the trampoline! And of course, golf was on tv, so at one point, all the men were inside the house, while the women were outside chatting.

Holidays

Well, I enjoyed my few days off last week! We headed up to Peterborough on the Wednesday so Scott could play in Men's Night. On Thursday, I had a game with Beth Miller for the Business Girls - we had a great time as it was just the two of us, no rushing, no waiting!! And I had a great game, shooting a 96 - which also dropped my handicap to a 26!! I had dinner at the club with the rest of the ladies - although I was not impressed with my chicken pasta - in fact, it sucked! However, the night ended with me winning one of the bottles of Argentinian wine!

On Friday morning, after a few last minute stops, we headed up to Drew's cottage on Mink Lake - about a 2 hour drive from Peterborough. My first visit all year since New Year's eve!! Drew had his new favourite charcoal bbq heated up and waiting to cook up the marinated ribs we brought up. Mmmm...the ribs were fantastic - Drew did an excellent job! So we had a feast of bbq ribs, corn, garlic mashed potatoes and home baked bread!! We had a great time at the cottage - swimming, tubing, fishing...



We left on Saturday night after dinner. On the way out back to the highway, we came upon 2 fawns along the side of the road. Of course we were paranoid of hitting them since they couldn't decide if they were going to cross the road or not!! After a few minutes of stopping and going, and them darting out onto the road and then back to the side, we finally made it passed them!

Golfing with Thomas



Today, Scott and I golfed with Thomas and Derrick Sr. Jen, Mark and Emily were all there to see us off - and then Derrick, Jacky and Jack showed up as well. This was Thomas' first time golfing this year - it was our birthday treat for him. He started the first hole with a 12, but got better with each hole - scoring a 74-72 for a 146!! He's got the "Small" golf gene in him, with more play he will be an awesome golfer like his dad, uncle and grandpa!!! Keep it up Thomas - you are doing a terrific job!!!


Busy Weekend!

Got up super early on Saturday morning (4:30 a.m.) to watch Terry's crew row in the final race - and they did not disappoint - a silver medal!! Congratulations guys!! Got a few more hours sleep and then drove up to Peterborough later in the morning to make my 12:06 tee time. Boy was I ever tired with only 4 hours of sleep!! I golfed with Scott's parents and his Aunt Cheryl who came up from Toronto for a visit. I shot a 96 - which is pretty good for me right now.




We had a fantastic roast boot dinner with the addition of family friend - Doug Beath. After dessert we all crammed into Barry's car and I drove out to Mike's house for a swim and hot tub. It was a beautiful night out with no mosquitos and a full moon to boot!
