Mama’s Got a Brand New Bag…

Posted in Birthdays on Friday, 29 September, 2006| 4 Comments »

…and a brand new set of golf clubs to go in the bag! My mom (thanks!) bought me a new golf bag and clubs for my birthday. FM did a great job hiding them ~ I was shocked but so happy to have a new set. My old clubs were given to me NINE years ago by my former boss at the Mid-Pines Inn in NC where I worked as a Sales Manager.  She’d had them for 5 years prior. Gives you an idea of how out of date they are. Those old clubs will be front and center at the Saturday tag sale.

If it weren’t raining right now, I’d be out on the course with these new, oh so light babies:

FG and FM decided on cupcakes instead of a cake but they still insisted on putting every single candle on the cupcakes. It was an inferno! And wax was everywhere. Ah, but better to have another candle and another year then the alternative, right?!

Birthday Memories and Dad

Posted in Birthdays on Tuesday, 8 August, 2006| 4 Comments »

8 August is my Dad’s birthday and, as I started doing the last few years, I plan to spend part of the day talking to FG about the grandfather she never met. We will go through old photos and eat some of his favorite foods. She’ll have to wait a few more years to enjoy one of his favorite drinks which was a frozen magarita in a waterford glass.

Here is one of my favorite photos since he was enjoying a cigar, drinking a beer and wearing his Irish sweater (which I still have today):

 

My Dad was extremely bright (high IQ) and I always joke that it must have skipped a generation 😉  He was a great judge of character and I remain in touch with several of his good friends. They are as wonderful as he was. I like to think I inherited his judge of character because I have some great friends as well. 

He didn’t chit-chat much and only spoke when he had something important to say. As I was going through photos last night, I saw this one and would love to know what he was saying to these ladies who seem to be listening so intently:

 

Happy Birthday, Dad ~ Always in our hearts!
