GK Golf Outing

 Mike signed us up again for the Genoa Kingston Athletic golf outing. We were very excited because Dylan could golf with us this year.


The weather was almost perfect 70’s and cloudy with a touch of a breeze. I love breezes.

It was a four man scramble and there were times when I didn’t even have to t-off. The boys have really improved their game.

We short a 2 over - we all made putting mistakes.


Play got slow on the backside - we waited some.


We all contributed to our score, which made it very fun.

I don’t want to brag, but I’m the one that brought home a trophy.


Longest putt for Woman.

My favorite part of the day was going up to get this thing. Logan shouts out “way to go Grandma”

Ever since he was little and playing football he would make a good play and I would yell, loudly like a crazed old lady. ‘That’s my Grandson” most of his buddies got used to - even expected it.

 When I got back to my seat Logan told me he was glad it was his turn to yell for me.🥹

Stop the Press

 or is it "Cut the Cord"? Anyway after 45 years I have cancelled my subscription to my paper. I love to read a paper. When I worked at the CN I would read 3 papers every morning. I claimed to my boss that I was looking for potential advertisers, but I just liked to read everything.

Leftover papers are handy to have around too. Starting fires, drop clothes for messy work. How am I going to paint around my house or how about carving a pumpkin?.

They were jerking me around about my bill. Went from $50 for 4 weeks (that's not a month - 28 days only) then it jumped to $63.80 last bill was $78.30. I refused to attached my credit card to the account so I had to charged more for paperwork. 

The last bill had 2 "special sections" in it so it only covered 20 days. I asked her how much they charged to advertise in that special section and she didn't know.

 "Most ads in those sections, cover the cost of printing." I told her.

She had no answer for me, so I told her I couldn't afford it any longer. 

3 days later I get a call that they were offering a special deal. TWO DOLLARS AND 95 CENTS A WEEK FOR 10 WEEKS. I had to laugh.

"So, you are charging your loyal customers more so you can give it away to "new" subscribers."

She honestly said YES so I told her I would signup. Only thing was I had to give her my credit card.

I hung up!!!

Mike will pickup a paper for me sometimes on his way home from work, but so far I haven't missed it - Too Much.

Hi Love You

 Hi, Love You… That was my first text from Roger. Really made me smile.

He got a phone!!!!

Bryan sent me roger’s new number (after asking Roger’s permission of course) and I hurry and sent him a text. “Congratulations on your new phone.”

 We met up with the Flory at Top Golf for some family fun. We had a blast. When we were waiting our turn  I told Roger to call me. He looked at me funny since we were sitting right next to each other and I told him I wanted to show him something on my phone. 

I had downloaded a funny picture I had of him to my contact so it pops up when he calls me. He thought that was crazy fun. He wanted to do it. I told him he had to take some pictures first. I did see him take a Selfie of him and Mary.

But this is the first one he took (with his phone ~ I have several he took with my phone) with me in it.
