Golf and Cinderella?

 

Jim waits for me to 'tee-off' at Indian Springs, Marianna

 The Texas Scramble was played at Indian Springs and it was a beautiful day and yet again another gorgeous course. 

Thankfully, I played a little better than yesterday though we were never ‘contenders’  Don’t forget I was one of the  organisers of this competition.  Poor Bill Marek was gracious but he did most of the work, though I did present the prizes and make the little speech.  Our motto was ‘Everyone’s a Winner’ and everyone did receive a monetary reward, so that was well received at the Pot-Luck Dinner later that evening along with the BYOB.

Saturday 7 Mar

Today was to be a quiet day.  Enjoying the views and sights from the balcony.  Some business and shopping , then Martin and Eleanor were off to a St Patrick’s Dance.  Remember, me, aging Cinderella, couldn’t get a ticket – SOLD  OUT!!.

I really didn’t mind.  Tonight the clocks change for ‘Daylight Saving Time’ and I have loads to prepare for my departure on Friday.  So early dinner, shower, then early to bed to watch funny film – That was the plan!

Around halfway through the film, the phone rang.  It was Pete, saying ‘You shall go to the Ball,  – or more realistically, ‘Get your ass down to this dance!  I’ll pick you up in ten minutes!!!’   ’Hey, wait there are no tickets’  ‘Forget it, you have a seat as a guest of the DJ, Big Jim Lawson and he wants to give you a copy of his latest CD.’

So Prince Charming(Pete) duly arrived and by that time, I had managed to throw on some ‘green’ clothes for the dance.  What about the make-up?  Nowadays it takes me ages to prepare, but ladies, believe me  it can be done in ten minutes. 

Well, the dance was great fun.  Sorry I didn’t take my camera, to show you all the weird and wonderful costumes complete with green hair and makeup.  Boy these North Amerians really love St Patrick’s Celebrations!

Oh, and by the way.  DEFINITELY  NO MORE  DATES!!!!!  Poor Pete, I don’t know how many times I have bade him farewell.  Next week is a pretty  full schedule.
