Up and out early this morning. Well, not that early but we were on the miniature golf course to start our tournament play. We'll play every Friday morning for the next several weeks for this tournament period. I'm paired up with man named Gary and Bob is paired up with a fellow who couldn't be here today but he played with a substitute player. I had three holes that only took me two shots to get the ball in. Ok, ok, I also had two holes where it took me six plays and the damn ball still wasn't in the cup. I told my partner I hoped he was in this for the party at the end in March and not for the prize money.
It was cloudy when we played this morning, but still warm enough to be in shorts. From the looks of the truck it looked like we had had a short shower at some time during the night.
After our morning round of (mini) golf we took care of chores around the house and then took off for Walmart. Today was shopping day for our Christmas decorations. The hell with that politically correct "holiday decorations" we're decorating for Christmas! We ended up with five hundred feet of red lights and I'm hoping we've bought too many. After all, our rig is only thirty six feet long. Regardless, I'll hang on to the receipt just in case.
We went to several stores looking for a little decorative flag that had to with Christmas. The kind that slips onto the little metal flag holder that you stick in the ground. Half a dozen stores later and we still couldn't find one. One saleslady told us to go to Lowe's but we were a ways from that store by the time we got that information. We'll go back that way in a few days and see if they have one.
On the way home we couldn't help but notice the water that was laying everywhere. It was still raining, even harder now but by no means a downpour, and the ground just couldn't soak up the rain fast enough. Believe me, the ground is as hard as brick around here! We heard on the afternoon news that there were lots of auto accidents already. I guess Arizona people can't drive in the rain.
Bob and I tried to remember the last time we saw a steady rain like this and the best we can remember we were still in Missouri. It is supposed to rain through tomorrow so we're guessing a lot of the arroyas will be filled.
We just saw on the news that its going to rain through the night and winds are going to pick up. Rain is good,,,,wind is not so good.
We made steak sandwiches for dinner and settled in for an evening of TV. We'll have to get bed early because we have to be up at 5 a.m. because our activities team is hosting this months pancake breakfast and we report for work at six. Five in the morning???? Been awhile since I've had to be up that early. There better be a crowd to make this early rising worth it!
