Photographs from Golf yesterday and Happy 4th!

Golf wasn't too bad yesterday.  I shot a 114.  Yesterday I played the entire 18 holes with my headphones on listening to music.  It really helped me not lose my mojo, although I didn't do all that well, I never got grouchy, or annoyed with DH's bitching about his game.  I couldn't hear him!

I ran across the motherload of beautiful weeds on the 10th hole.  Giant thistles are blooming now.  I know these plants are a pain in the butt, err legs, hands etc, when you touch them, but seriously, the buds and blooms are absolutely gorgeous!  Take a peek.

and finally, one that has gone to seed.

I got the inspiration to take a waterfall picture from one of my flickr contacts. 

I've always called this spot "the kodak shot".  DH and I have done a lot of posing by this itty bitty waterfall.  Not yesterday though.  Just a quick snap.

And thats about it.  For now.  I've got a busy day ahead.  Company at 5 for a cookout, I am picking up Nikki at 10 to work at the house.  They bought a fixer upper, and she is just overwhelmed with the amount of work to do.  DH, SS and I went over for about 3 hours yesterday and really knocked off a lot of the things that needed to be done.  The kids are doing wall prep now, they've taken the wallpaper down (the entire house was papered in 1970's paper), spackeled and sanded most of the walls and have started to prime the walls.  Yesterday, DH, SS and I tore up more carpet, removed staples from the subfloor, cleaned up all the paint chips on the floor from sanding..what a pain.  I told Nick if he ever buys another house that needs so much work I would kick his ass.  I can't blame Nik for being so overwhelmed.  When it is just the 2 of them working on it, it must seem like it is going so slow. 

So anyway, we are going to work from 10-2.  Then rush home to shower, and prepare for the cookout.  Did I mention that I haven't shopped yet?

lololol
