50 years of "jolly swinging"

 One of the golf leagues I belong to is celebrating their 50th year & I was organizing the mid season outing
 After burning up too many brain cells trying to come up with an idea for favors I turned to pinterest.  These are cheapo clay flower pots sprayed with gloss paint.  If you decide to do it use the paint & primer in one.  Trust me on this one....I know from experience.
I planted a mix of basil, oregano & lemon balm.  The "flag sticks" I found in the cake decorating aisle & the flags I printed in Microsoft word.  Very simple but cute.
The course we played had lots of wild life
This is an eagles nest with babies....we were lucky enough to see the eagle a couple of times but unfortunately I was not quick enough to get a pic.

Love

Designer "doggy uggs"

Poor Molly has been having a hard time already this winter with the snow. She has good size pads on her feet which are "webbed" like a lab's foot.  When she goes in the snow it builds up in between her pads & forms a hard piece of almost ice-like snow.  Then she holds her foot up for someone to pull it out.  I decided to make her her own boots. Jessica had spent the night here as we went to First night for new years....more on that later.....so we "googled" how to make dog boots & then modified it to work for Molly.  Keep in mind these were boots you could make in 10 minutes.  It took approx 10 mins to measure Molly's feet.  Two hours later here's the results I did decide to make her 2 for each foot figuring she would be like any typical kid & lose a couple here & there. We had to go to W*lmart in the middle of the project to get velcro to make the fasteners.  We then made her wear them around the house for a while ...

Liza's treat ball

This is one of the most important things in our house - it is Liza's treat ball! I bought this about 9 or 10 years ago & it had a "trap door" where the gaping hole is & when you put treats in it you could control how easily they would fall out as the ball rolled around. Liza learned that if she rolled it down the stairs the treats would usually fall out which is why it looks this way. I have tried super glue etc. but it never stays together! It is sadly beaten & broken but try as I may I have never been able to find another one like it. I have spent hours looking & have bought many similar but nothing will ever take it's place. She knows where it is almost all the time - usually keeps it in her bed - but when it's missing she just paces the house until someone helps her find it. She used to be able to hold it in her mouth like this by just hooking it onto her eye tooth Now she just puts her bottom jaw into the opening like this There is a rit...
