Golf? I don't think so...

So, Monday my mother picked Carrie and I up to take me golfing over on Wolfe Island. Carrie didn't play but she had a lot of fun driving the one golf cart and generally keeping my clubs out of reach. LOL.

The course is called Alston Moor golf Links, on Wolfe Island (Yeah I know I already said it. It's a 9 hole course and to play 18 holes it's only $22.00. Mondays are 2 for 1, so $22.00 covered mom and I for the 18. Carts are pretty cheap too, according to mom. We had 2 carts for 18 holes for about $2.00 more than a single cart at a "higher end" course. Par for 18 holes is 70. Mom shot a 110. Me? I shoe 121, 51 over par. Not bad really, when you consider this was like my 3rd or 4th game in 10 years, including my first ever game!

The cool thing about the course is that Wolfe Island is home to a fairly big wind farm. I knew they were building wind generators over there but I didn't realize how many, close to 100. One of which is right on the course too. DAMN! They're big!

We had a ton of fun. Mom was trying to get on the green for the 1st hole from the 6th hole tee off. LOL I lost a few balls in the bushes and lost my hat for a bit. Carrie spent a lot of time laughing at both of us.

Now our friend Larry is wanting to come out in August to golf with us. It should be very interesting....

Moved...

Yup. We moved. Up to the third floor. Our friend Scott help me with the heavy stuff yesterday from 11 am to about 1:30pm. He was big help, thanks, man.

The worst thing to move was my computer desk. It barely fit through the apartment door and didn't fit at all in the computer room. So for now it's upended in the bedroom while we figure out what to do with it.

There are still a few things left in the old place, 2 closets of stuff, some other odds and ends and 2 air conditioners. I'm not looking forward to moving those tings. At least they are lighter than my stupid desk.

Logan seems to like his room better. It's got more light, is a bit larger and he has his toy box back in there. We had to paint it the night before we moved. When we looked at it during the day the paint was kind f a light purple color, not bad really, but Logan wanted blue. As we painted the old paint began to look REALLY pink.

Carrie and I love our new room. It's literally twice as big as the old one. As an added bonus it has a closet that doesn't need a steps tool to get into and is actually large enough for us to BOTH put our clothes in!

The Kitchen is somewhat smaller and the table needs to be out in the living room area but that ok.

The Kitchen is pretty much sorted out. We just have to figure out our bedroom layout, computer room layout and where to hang things on the walls. We also need to figure out where to put the 2 air conditioners...
