Tuesday Morning -- Here in Bentwater, our subdivision -- It's Ladies Day

First, a little story here. At their class reunion the husband and wife were reminiscing with old friends. The fellow kept looking at an obviously inebriated older lady. "Do you know her?" asked his wife. "Yes," he replied, "she is my old girfriend. She started drinking the day we broke up and has been drunk ever since." "Goodness!" says the wife, "Who would have thought a person could go on celebrating that long?"

Tuesday is Ladies Day here at Bentwater. Especially on the golf course. On their play day from 40 to 60 women are matched up into flights. Those ladies play 18 holes of golf. To do that they must have a handicap of at least 36. [large picture] [super size] Other ladies who don't want to play all 18 holes or the beginners with handicaps higher than 36 play only nine holes. Both groups have a very good comradery. [large picture] [super size] Mrs. Jim has played in both groups, the last few have been with the 18 hole group. But today she wasn't a part of this group that we have seen above. She and her friend, Ellen, played by themselves on our other course. Mrs. Jim generally plays with the group on Tuesdays and with her golfing buddies on Fridays. Then there is this group of ladies who don't play golf so much. They are on the tennis courts today. [large picture] [super size] Or some go for a nice walk. More than half were wearing shorts on this nice warm spring day.

[large picture] [super size] Congregating on the street is nice too. Do you think these ladies might be exchanging the latest in neighorhood gossip? [large picture] [super size] Adi had a nice walk also. We went on a different route yesterday, and got to see a lot of different sights than we usually do on our fairly set routine. [large picture] [super size] We met this fellow and the dalmation. Adi and I exchanged greetings, Adi and the dalmation declared they had enough, both growled a bit and raised the hair on their necks and backs. They went on their way. [large picture] [super size] Then there were these ducks. Just minding their own business, aren't they? [large picture] [super size]

If Adi could have her way, those ducks would be hustling along out of there. [large picture] [super size] Do you think Adi could play golf? And that I could be her caddie? She directed me to get her Big Bertha Light. Wait a minute, that's my driver club she wants! [large picture] [super size]

That borrowing of clubs serves her right. Look, she's lost her ball out here in the rough. [large picture] [super size]

[large picture] [super size] All's well that ends well. We had a bowl of my left-over chicken potato and vegetable soup that I made for last weekend. And a coke and my meds (in the wrong case) for me.
