Ahoy!



With all the paintings done, I finally had time for one of my favorite pastimes, Mini Golf. This photo was taken in Brainerd at the Pirate's Cove course. A pleasant but unchallenging 18 holes. They had the same layout on more than one hole - I guess they spent all their planning time on this magnificent ship. Yes that is a golf club I'm wielding - I beat Wilson by 2 points.

I just received this 2005 photo of my nephew Cameron. See my previous post to appreciate it fully. Thanks, Geo and Deb!

Brainerd, MN


On Monday we saw this lion water fountain, a gift to the people of Brainerd from the Lions Club. As a child I drank from a "bubbler" exactly like this at the Buttonwood Park Zoo in New Bedford, MA. I did not drink from this lion; there was a wadded up tissue and some used gum nearby which curbed my thirst. I should have been a good neighbor and picked them up.
