Not exactly championship material... yet

Not much is going on right now that we want to write about, so we haven't posted much. Edith and I have been playing more golf lately, sometimes on the weekends, and sometimes 9 holes after work on the weekdays. Edith has been getting better with more practice, and recently seriously outplayed me on one hole.

The third hole on the South Course at Stow Acres CC is a downhill par 3, 101 yards from the forward tee and 159 from the back. I air-mailed the green, since I have also been playing somewhat better with practice, and don't always trust my iron shots to fly as far as they have been lately, on average. Here I am looking for my ball (sorry for the bad cell phone photos):



Meanwhile, Edith had this for birdie:




The gallery fell silent with anticipation as she took her practice stroke (the mark next to her foot is me, lying 3 already):




Needless to say, she sank it and won the hole with a net 0 after handicap (I usually give her two strokes, although we don't really play for any prize). Her first birdie!!! Well done!

Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth.

Well now, it has occurred to me that this quilt has now reached it's recipient, so I no longer have to be coy about it. This was for Brian's cousin's baby boy, Casey Sean. Actually, when I started I didn't know he was Casey Sean, but now I do. So congratulations Jenni and Sean. Welcome Casey, hope you enjoy your quilt. If you become an astronaut, I'm totally taking credit.

Deck Project, day 2????

Well, I've been a little slow in processing these pictures, but here it is, Day 2 of the deck project otherwise known as Edith posts bad pictures of herself. The basic frame was done by the end of the day.

Well, it looks funny on him

But really it's sooooo cute! All it needs is a fit model so that I can determine where the buttons go.

The Margot Bag

What's in the bag?

And Margot pontificating. "No, no, no, you don't understand. The MUSKRAT is SLEEPING in his HOUSE."
Where are you going Margot?

Happy birthday to ->ME<-

I seem to be having multiple birthdays this year, but today is the real one. Yesterday we had birthday dinner (where Edith got her birthday lasagna for my birthday), and some day in the future we will have to have cake and open my present from Edith. She says it's not here yet and she hopes I will like it, but if not, she will use it. She said it wasn't a sewing machine.

I am even more behind on posting pictures than Edith is. I have a few things to show off (besides our deck handiwork) but the pictures disappear onto E's computer and I'm too lazy to go find them.

It's sunny and warm again today, and things are starting to turn green. Everyone* agrees that you should get the day off from work for your birthday. That's not going to happen, but I think my boss and many of my cow-orkers are out today so maybe I will leave a little early. :-)

* "everyone" = E and my Mom. If they both agree on something, you know it is absolutely correct.

Day 1, 4/19/09

OK, so I'm a little behind on posting, but this was what was done at the end of the first day. Mostly by Bob since Brian and I went to Brian's hockey game. The pictures are from the next morning.
