OT September Chit Chat

[Virginia]

Hi Ann, just my usual bank, two grocery stores, had nails done and went to UPS to send three items back that I didn't like or that did not fit.

Glad your vacation was nice, but glad you are back home. Last year you sent a picture of you flying a kite, but this year you didn't send us anything. Now we are all upset.

[Howie]

I'm freezing! They were saying it's 72* at 2pm, but it's only 62*. Sam and I have been all snuggled up under a blanket, taking our afternoon "nap". Not really sleeping...well I didn't anyway.

[agate]

Freezing? Blanket??

Howie, have you fast-forwarded somehow? All my windows are wide open for what cool air there is in the morning, and as the day goes on, I'll close them up and probably turn on the AC. It's going to be around 100' today.

I'm hearing raccoons out there. Their sounds don't sound much like animal sounds. They sound like clattering bits of metal, as if someone took a bicycle chain and started rattling it.

[Virginia]

Cool and rainy here yesterday while I was out. Cool in the house today, but I have not checked our outside temps today.

Ann, if you get a chance let me know the weather forecast for that area through Monday. My golfer nephew is playing there through Monday. He played yesterday and is playing today. Last update I had on Facebook from his Mom was that he had just made hole in one and was tied for lead. My brother is there to see him, but his Mom stayed home this week-end. The update was about 2PM.

[Howie]

A hole in one is rare, even in pro golf. I've had a few at putt-putt!

[Virginia]

Howie, he has made a number through the years. I know he has made 3 this season. However, he plays good and then he drops back. He is all over the place. Hope in the next couple of years he steadies out and plays well. He is extremely good golfer, but suffers from "social anxiety". This makes things hard for him when he is in the spot light. But he loves the game and keeps on going. Besides there is no where anyone could begin to make the money he is making right now and certainly not at age 23. I think it is a shame that athletes are paid so much, but of course I root for him. I am watching on TV, but can't figure out where they are right now. It was late coming on and I can't tell if they are catching up or what is going on.

[stillstANNding]

Virginia, there is a forecast of 80% chance of rain Sunday and full sun on Monday.

ANN

[Howie]

I don't know why, but the weather forecasters in this area are wrong more than right. So for what it's worth, they say 0 chance of precipitation Sun. and Mon, but 60% chance today, and the sun is shining away!

[agate]

Wishing your nephew the best of luck, Virginia!

I've had a couple of holes in one but we're talking miniature golf here. Is that the same as putt-putt that Howie mentioned?

Grayson is tied for 5th place (about 6 p.m. Eastern Time) with Phil Mickelson and two other golfers. Here's the Leaderboard on the PGA website:

Good Luck to Grayson! A hole in one is an awesome feat!

Love & Light,

[Howie]

Agate, it's all officially "miniature golf" but some like "putt-putt" were a business name they were called by the parent company. There were many that went by different names. We use to go now and then when I was a kid. They were good clean family fun. I don't know if they even exist anymore.

[Frog42]

There are three within 5 miles of my house right now. Still very popular.

[Virginia]

Rose, thanks a lot. I had figured that out - finally! They had over a 100 playing today and after the cut I think they said on TV there will be 81 or something like that. I was watching TV because I wanted to see him, but I guess he finished before it came on here. He must have had an early tee time. That means tomorrow I think he will have a late tee time. That is not always good for him and Ann is saying that rain is almost certainly going to happen tomorrow. So now it is a wait and see. However, he made the cut and that is a lot to be said for that. This is the third of the Championship games. I think there is one more after this. Then I suppose the season will be over.
I think they will start on 2018 season sometime in October or November. They make money if they just make the cut, but that is not all of it. It is rankings for the year and a whole bunch of other stuff.

Thanks Ann for the update on the weather there.

I also played a lot of miniature golf with my husband back when we were young. We both enjoyed it. My Nephew would laugh at that. I don't know how long one of the miniature holes are, but he can easily hit over 300 yards, so I wouldn't give him the satisfaction of knowing that I played miniature golf.

Last week he did not play too well. He made the cut, but did not come out overall very well. He called his Dad (my brother) and said he was wasted and just didn't want to play anymore. Of course, you can see that was short lived.

I have been reading the book that the lady from the book club brings me each month. I really was not interested in starting this one, but finally it was time I needed to read it and get it back to her. When she brought it to me she laughed and told me who in the blub had recommended it. The lady who did is really nice, a friend and I like her a lot, but she is very different. The one who brought it to me said "I am sure it will be funny". I am afraid that I have not found it to be. I am 2/3 through so have another 100 pages to go. Anyway, the title of the book is "The End of Your Life Book Club".


Where is Cat? I do not recall hearing from her lately.

Oh well, no one is going to talk to me, so I am going to bed. Howie is probably watching a movie.

[Howie]

Virginia, you are so right, I am watching a movie I think BBS should see. It's called Monster From the Surf. An old black and white film, and I think it's really scaring Sam. She just wants to curl up on my lap, and close her eyes!

So BBS, all I can say is, don't go into any caves you see right on the edge of the beach. You never know what might be in there!
