NEW ARRIVALS.

For a few weeks now a duck has been sitting on eggs in a flower bed at the camper. Yesterday as I sat on my deck I noticed a large duck with four baby ducks stumbling around behind her. I wondered it those were from the eggs she had been sitting on. I took a walk to where the nest was and sure enough the eggs had hatched. There was one chick in the next who was not moving and another who had made it way out of the nest and lying on the ground peeping. I guess it was looking for the others who were quite a distance away near the waters edge. I picked this chick up and carried it to the group of other chicks and placed it on the ground near them. This little guy heard the others peeping and hurried toward them peeping and stumbling all the way. It made it to the group

GREAT WEEKEND BUT HOT.

As we know it was and still is hot worse yet a golf course was not the place for a 71 year old gentleman considering that I had not place golf since my mid 20's. The date was set for last Saturday and the tee-off time was 4:00 when the temp was 94 degrees. We were the only ones there to tee-off. The smart people were either at home or finished already. We were the only people at the first tee which was good because with my years of no playing and the others no being an Arnold Palmer, things moved kind of slow.

The game progressed with serious moments and a log of laughter. All I can say is thank God for golf carts. I would have collapsed somewhere on the second hold. After the ninth hole a big decision had to be made, it was already 8:00 so do we continue onto the second nine or call it quits. At the club house the man was kind enough to give us a rain check for the additional nine holes but they had to be played the next day which was even hotter.

We did play the next day and we must have gotten better because it only took us 3 hours to play the nine holes opposed to 4 hours the day before. I think that we will wait for cooler days before we play again but I must say I had a great time and a cold shower felt good
