I’m not sure how this even happened, no adjustments were made to this picture before, during or after it was taken.
It is extremely vibrant though!

I watched the 2013 US Open Golf Tournament this week-end. I know, watching golf isn’t for everyone, but I really actually enjoy it.
The tournament was held at the Merion Golf Club in Merion PA. It was speculated by the golf commentators that this would be an easy golf course/tournament.
In reality it was a force to be reckoned with. It had its way with the golfers, and managed to devour the worlds #1, and #2 players, Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, without so much as a glance back.
Over the course of the 3 days of play, the leader board changed repeatedly. On the last day, Sunday, it was virtually impossible to tell just who was going to walk away the winner. The leader board changed with almost every stroke of the ball.
One of my favorites of the game, Phil Mickleson was holding his own and staying in the top 3. A tournament that has alluded him 5 other times up to this point. Always the bridesmaid, never the bride. It was his to win, and it appeared to be falling into place for him.
At the end of the 2nd round of play he was in the lead by a very slim margin. A little too close for my comfort, but the lead, never the less.
And then Sunday came. The final round of the tournament.
It was Father’s Day. It also just happened to be Phil Mickleson’s birthday. The stage was set for him to take home the trophy and finally come out victorious at this particular tournament.
It was a nail biter, right down to the final hole. I was cheering him on. At times I was barely able to watch. I just wanted him to win!
And once again Phil Mickleson made golf history. He had some amazing shots, and played some terrific golf. But in the end, he just had one too many misses. He became the 2nd runner-up for the 6th time at this tournament.
Missed it again.
I can’t even imagine the turmoil that he experienced that evening. He said it was a heart breaker.
He said it right.
A lady and her curves!
Not sure why the fish is on her head….oh well!

I might need to get some ice cream today.
I was hoping to get my cast off of my arm today, but nope….one more week to go! I guess I can’t fool the Doctor after all. I thought it had been on long enough, but she apparently doesn’t agree with me.
I can do this!
Must get ice cream!
3 Gifts Smelled…
1. The smell of a newborn baby. Such a unique smell. So sweet, so pure. There is nothing quite like it in the world.
2. Coffee. Yes. The absolutely, wonderful and amazing smell of coffee. I am so thankful for this!
3. And from my garden, I love the smell of the jasmine as it wafts across the yard. I only wish it lasted a little longer.
These are just a few of the many things that I am so very thankful for today.
What are you thankful for?
Will you join me in looking for these gifts and sharing them with others?

Have a wonderful “Thankful Thursday“!
Ah the joy…and the pain of technology.
When it “works”, it’s amazing! It does things beyond our wildest imagination! I mean really, just look at all the things your phone can do for you…and you can even use it as a phone!
Simply amazing! Or is it really that simple? I think not!
When it fails us, or probably more like, when I fail it, there’s nothing quite as frustrating. But I mean really, should it be this complicated?
I’ve tried everything that this feeble brain of mine can think of to resolve this issue, and I just can’t figure it out! It’s so frustrating right now, I could just, well you know….SCREAM!
But I’m happy to say that all is well now. After a visit to my friendly Apple store, a crisis has been adverted, and I’m back in the land of sanity. And it’s so nice to be back! That going crazy stuff really isn’t that much fun!
And yes, it was “user error“. Almost always is, isn’t it?
Now, if I could just get one of those shiny new Mac Book‘s that I saw at the store! Ahhh….that would be nice!
Someday, my dream will come true 
So many good reminders here. A reminder to be thankful. A reminder to never give up. And a reminder to be that true and good friend.
Dare to be, and make the most of every opportunity!
Dare to Be
When a new day begins, dare to smile gratefully.
When there is darkness, dare to be the first to shine a light.
When there is injustice, dare to be the first to condemn it.
When something seems difficult, dare to do it anyway.
When life seems to beat you down, dare to fight back.
When there seems to be no hope, dare to find some.
When you’re feeling tired, dare to keep going.
When times are tough, dare to be tougher.
When love hurts you, dare to love again.
When someone is hurting, dare to help them heal.
When another is lost, dare to help them find the way.
When a friend falls, dare to be the first to extend a hand.
When you cross paths with another, dare to make them smile.
When you feel great, dare to help someone else feel great too.
When the day has ended, dare to feel as you’ve done your best.
Dare to be the best you can –
At all times, Dare to be!”
