GK Golf Outing

 Mike, Logan, Dylan and I golfed in the Genoa Kingston Gold Outing. This was our 3 year. Genoa does not charge athletes to pay to play - all sports are free. 

So This is not only our way to support the football program that both boys played in and Mike and I spent many Friday nights cheering them on - we got to spend the day with the grandsons doing something we all love to do. Ply golf together.

With Logan and Dylan playing more golf getting so much better we scored our best score yet. 5 under. We started on a par 3 and got a boggie. Nobody was happy. I told them get us there and I will get us home. (in my bragging voice). They believed me and we started to start putting for eagles and birdies. After watching them tee off I knew there was no way I could beat their drives so I passed on the drives and concentrated on my chipping and putting. 

It was fun watching the young ones getting better and better with each downed cocktail. So many memories of our Thursdays with the Dupplers.

Let’s let Papa go first

The weather was perfect and we had such great fun. I know there is gonna come a time when this ole body of mine is gonna say enough. But my heart will always be with these grandsons and the memories we are making out on the golf course.

Hot Days Projects

 It’s been hot so far this summer. Sharen and I are still walking in the mornings, but when I want to get out and spend some time in my gardens - It’s Too Hot!!

So I decided to find some projects to do indoors.

The small half bath in our master bathroom was the first place I thought could use an update. And it’s a tiny space to get something done quickly.

I visited the local Sherman-Williams store and found a couple wallpaper patterns I liked. I usually ask Mike what he thinks, but mostly he agrees with me. 

Me: “ I want to wallpaper a wall in the small bathroom.”

Mike: “ ok, just as longs as it’s not too grandma-ish”

Opps, the paper I chosen was old fashion, I am a Grandma! He looked thru the book and found one he liked. After my surprise I liked it too and ordered it.

I painted the white shabby looking vanity recently. Added some new hardware also.

Vanity update found a rug to match too

Bathroom looks good.

Still too hot to do anything outdoors so I go looking for another project. One trip to the basement and I knew the stairway need painting badly. I very rarely go downstairs. Never noticed the 70’s paneling. 

Found some leftover paint from the kitchen so I found my next project. Mike took the doors down on the closet and the TV room. I thought they could stay wood.

This paneling looked so awful. I can’t believe we have lived here 20 years and I haven’t noticed.

Now all I can see is how much the stairs need a do over. Tomorrow I vow to get back in my hostas and remove some weeds.
