Skipping stones... 

Today I had a most wonderful day with Jim, skipping balls (not stones) across a tranquil pond. Yes, I went REAL golfing today, to a real golf course, with real obstacles at Indian Run Golf Course near McClure on this absolutely beautiful sunny day. I wasn't aiming for that first pond but my velvety pink titanium "Flying Lady 2" golf ball seemed to be attracted to the cool waters for some unknown reason. I had some really good drives and got to use my #1 iron for the first time. Lets just say...it takes some getting used to. My best round was in the 7th hole. I tied Jim, both of us with a score of 6. The neatest thing was watching the ball skip over the water. Just one more long hop & I'm almost sure it would have cleared the pond. I'm almost sure of it! but it didn't & there went lost ball #2. Drat! I want a golf cart!!! They are the coolest things to drive around. With my Foot Joy size 9s on my feet & my yellow pin-striped polo, I looked like the golfer I'm not but I had fun all the same. I ended up with an 86, only 51 over par. Not bad for my first time (I guess...?).

Afterwards Jim took me to Mt. Pisgah Altar. I don't ever remember being there & the view is awesome, overlooking a scenic stretch of Snyder County. Kinda leaves you with that feeling you get when you finally realize how great life is & how much we have to be thankful for.

Last but not least, an early seafood dinner at the Country Tavern topped off the day. We stopped off at Pier 104 Seafood Market first but they only sold seafood that you had to cook yourself (forget that idea...). I couldn't even finish my meal so the 'doggy bag' was enough to feed a hungry Mike.

I can't wait until we have another golfing date. Thanks, Jim! Watch out for that tree over there. FORE!
