Kind of an ordinary summer weekend. At our golf course, Fairplay, every other Friday there is a couples outing with pot luck. Different formats are played and the grills are lit for whatever meat each couple wants to bring along with some other dish. My specialty seems to be peanut butter bars. Everyone that likes peanut butter loves them. There are usually a lot of different salads and someone usually makes cheesy potatoes. One unmarried guy always brings a jar of pickles. The cost is $5.00 per couple and the payback depends on how may couples participate. Usually $20.00 for first and $10.00 for second. If there are enough couples $5.00 for third. There are usually enough for 2 or three flights. It is one of the fun things we do at Fairplay. This week we played bad enough to be in the 2nd flight and good enough to get 2nd place.

Saturday was laundry, cleaning what needed it the most (this time the bathroom) and grocery shopping before we headed out for our usual Saturday 18 hole golf round. Then supper at one of our favorite places, Bailey's. I am real excited about an announcement just made by the management of this eating establishment. They are going SMOKE FREE. They said they were waiting for it to become a law, but the legislature can't seem to get a decent bill formed on this issue.

Sunday Marti, Donna & I played in a 3-women scramble in Madison. This is a nine-hole course and we played 18 holes. What should usually take maybe 5 hours takes about 7. Then you have to take into consideration that there are some women who are there for the beer. There was one lady that the rescue squad was called for when she seemed to be overheated. My opinion is that she had too much to drink. It was kind of hot, I think in the 80's, but the wind was blowing and I really didn't think it was dangerously hot. We played with 3 other ladies that did not indulge while we were playing and really had a great time. These two teams came in first and second. Surprised?

After golf it was home to the usual Sunday mowing, watering flowers and pulling a few weeds.
I had washed sheets before I left so had beds to make, too. I decided it had been too long since I had just done nothing, so I picked up the Sunday crossword puzzle and watched reruns of Cold Case and Without a Trace. They ended up the same as the last time I watched them. lol

Sometimes we have to go back to work to rest up.
