Whew, what a day. The family showed up, took cart rides around the course, we got each of them a shirt from the pro shop then we went to lunch. Fun and just long enough.
DH discovered a big leak in the main water pipe (it feeds the irrigation system) and spent hours up to his knees in mud. He'll be back in it tomorrow once he finds a part he needs to fix it.
Some latecomers showed up to play golf and even though it's after 9pm and dark out, they're still out there (DH is at the course waiting for them to finish up). Lucky me, I got to come home at 8.
Re: Berts, I'll match Blooie's quarter to chip in towards his ransom. I bet he's just really enjoying himself too much to get back to the routine yet.
Hope you all have a good evening!
