I've been golfing every weekend for the last month or so. There aren't that many good weather days left so I've got to get all my golfing energy out right now. Last weekend almost proved to be my last though. I went down to a familiar course and was paired up with a guy and lady for 18 holes. It rained off and on and at times came down pretty hard. It was one of those "jump out of the cart, hit the ball, then jump back in." On the 12th hole I hit an awesome tee shot and we drove up for our second shots when the lightning started. We were sitting under a tall tree and the gal that was with us was just getting ready to pull back and swing when a huge bolt thundered down across the fairway and into the neighborhood. One of the streamers came over to the tree we were under. That was way to close!!! We hunkered down for about 15 minutes while it poured and lightning shot off all around us. I chose a small pine tree that wasn't much taller than my cart. It was crazy!! When the lightning moved on, we finished the rest of the round. I couldn't let that great drive go to waste!!
Whewww!
Wow, the first five weeks of school are done but have been very busy! Two weeks ago my secretary quit to take a job as the librarian at an elementary school so I've been pulling double duty at work.. as if I don't have enough to do. Thankfully Lisa's come over and helped me out a ton.

Only a true die hard fan of golf would keep playing. Don't golf clubs at like a magnet to lightening? You are a silly girl!
