Feb 24th to 26th - DHS

Feb 24th – Fri
Today was the Can-Am (Canadian-American) golf tournament. I played for the Canadian team just to keep things interesting! Neither one of us did particularly well on the course but I won a few dollars from the putting contest. There were 71 Americans and 72 Canadians and the Canadians barely beat the Americans again. Since there were so many teams, lunch was originally – optimistically - scheduled for 2:00 with the last group teeing off at 11:45. Play slowed down a bit, the MC droned on too long and lunch was served about 3:30 so it was a good thing that we came home and had a light breakfast when we finished golfing at 10. I helped dish up plates again – ham, au gratin potatoes, peas & carrots, coleslaw and a roll followed by apple crisp & ice cream for dessert.
We were ready to kick back and relax for the rest of the evening. Of course Terry needed some dinner a bit later!

Feb 25th – Sat
We were enjoying our morning coffee when Doreen stopped by to invite us for happy hour. She asked why we didn’t go for pancake breakfast as Gilbert & Grace were cooking. Of course we had forgotten but had 20 minutes to get there before they stopped serving. We chatted with Grace, Gilbert, Laraine & Dave while we were eating.
We went out for groceries & diesel. Fuel prices have been going up quickly lately – as I am sure they are everywhere – and the lowest diesel was $4.27.
We couldn’t accept Doreen’s invitation this morning as we were already invited to Jim & Debbie’s for happy hour & dinner. Also there were Ted & Maureen, Gloria & Jerome, Paul & Jodie and Eldon & Elaine. Dinner was BBQ hot dogs & brats with salads – yummy when prepared & eaten outside. Bob & Diane stopped by later after they went by walking their dog.
The weather was wonderful and allowed us to sit out quite late enjoying Jim’s buddy burner and Ted’s bucket light.

Feb 26th – Sun
I made a nice breakfast to sustain us through a golf game with Russ & Judy at 10:48. I had a good game, probably my best since we’ve been here. Too bad Terry couldn’t say the same!
We had a bit of down time with Terry playing computer games and me doing some cleaning, dinner prep and reading. Moe & Trish dropped by for a short chat.
We had Cliff & Pauline over for dinner and cards. The guys got the cards this time and beat the women at Ponytail Canasta. Then we all enjoyed a “3-2-1 cake & ice cream” for dessert.
