Opening day craziness & sniffing while on camera!

The golf course finally opened today a little later than normal due to Mother Nature not letting us have Spring this year.  We have  new software this year & even though I had been to work several times for training the true reality of how it works is when you are using it under the gun!  I was there on Tues just making t-times & selling tokens for the range....piece of cake compared to yesterday!  We are the first course to open for the season so it is totally insane with 3 lines ringing & a line of golfers either checking in or wanting to hit balls on the range.

John said he felt like toast when I got there at noon & it wasn't long before I felt the same way.  Lets just say the software & I had some issues I will be the first to admit I was getting a little a lot "testy".

Even though today was a beautiful day the weathermen are predicting the threat of a n'easter late Thurs & into Friday....we could get up to a foot of snow.  Yes, I know. "April Fools"

At one point during the afternoon I got a call from our local news station who wanted to come out & talk to us about the impending storm & the effects it would have on the golf course.  I said sure, come on over but we were extremely busy so someone would try to talk to them.  Of course they didn't show up until around 5:00 when everyone but me had left!  So here I am trying to answer phones, check golfers in with a huge camera stuck about 6 inches away from my face.  All this time I am trying to sound professional while it feels like my nose is dripping down my face!!!!

Not one of my finest moments!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BIG BROTHER

Happy birthday to my big brother Terry...........have a wonderful day!

Yowsa!

 I was woken up around 3:30am yesterday by thunder as a line of severe storms were rolling through the area.  My alarm goes off at 4:00am so I figured I'd just get up.  I was standing in the kitchen waiting for the coffee pot when there was a blinding explosion in the back yard along with a huge clap of thunder.  It was like someone threw a bomb in the yard....needless to say it scared the crap out of me & I was waiting for a tree to fall.  We didn't see anything & I left the house at 7:00am while it was still raining.  Popster didn't see this until last night but it had struck this big oak that is about 15 feet from our sun room.  It just stripped that piece of bark right off the tree  Makes the expression "Don't mess with Mother Nature" become very real! Love

Molly bike riding????

Popster has been teaching Molly to run along side of his bike.  It has been a slow process but she's finally getting it.  They start off very slowly.......  then speed up a little......  which is when she gets crazy& decides to "carry" the leash......  gradually she feels more comfortable....  then she begins to gallop.... & the ears start to flap!!!!!
