Golfing in the rain!Well, today was the first time I have ever spent time on a golf course. Only the second time I have ever been on a golf course. The first time was last week when we had an orientation day. This was to raise funds to build a new Library building. The day was pretty fun and it would have been much better except for the weather. Unfortunately, it rained and there was a thunderstorm and if you don't know, a golf course is not the best place to be during a thunderstorm.
I was working a novelty hole. Selling ballots for the entrants to guess how many balls would land on the green during the day. (If you don't understand this and want to know, umm, I got it explained to me so let me know in the comments and I'll attempt to explain - it involves short grass.) Fortunately, we also had a BBQ at our hole. This meant that we had food and a tent!
We got rained out and brought off the course twice (the whole lightening thing.) The golfers were really friendly and understanding about the weather - considering that they paid quite a bit of money to be playing. Although in the end we had a few laughs, I came home a took a nice hot shower since I was cold and damp!

My Aunt Jane Keller Herzig has just completed another cow for the West Hartford 2007 CowParade. This is based on my Grandmother's favourite china pattern and it brings back many happy memories. Though I am not use to seeing it on a cow:) Below is the first cow that she did - Delft Portrait from 2003, another cow that I love. For more information, check out the CowParade site, the cows get auctioned off for charity!
