Aunt Romayne gently slipped away this past weekend. She was 98, highly independent, enthusiastic and always with a smile and positive word. She lived in Florida near us for about 3 years, but always missed her Colorado mountains.
So we are in transition as well. Travel plans have always been a bit limited due to not wanting to leave her for more than about 2 weeks at a time. Now, we have a wide open schedule and I think we are finding it a bit daunting.
We'll load up the RV and begin with a trip west for her memorial service mid-July in Colorado Springs. We will probably continue in a westerly direction altho meandering around without too many plans is always more fun.
Weather has been very very hot and dry down here. The golf courses are hurting and restricted to cart path only which makes for a long , hot game. There is a good deal offered of $6 for 18 holes after 5 on the Championship courses. We played last week and it does start to cool off about 7 and with a cold one in the cooler, it makes for a fun evening with friends. I'm loving a new Ping 7 wood that works off the tee, on the fairway, in the rough and would probably do fine as a putter. I suggested that I need a matched set but no one heard me.
Paul is working a bit, making 2 trips this month to Miami for instructing. I hold down the homestead and ward off the geckos.
Sorry for your loss...happy for more meandering.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about Auntie. She looks like she was a pistol. Rest in peace, Romayne.
ReplyDeleteNo golf for this gal. 100 degrees lately. This climate is hell on one's golf game.
Sorry on the loss of your aunt but it sounds as if she had a great life, possibly due to that great attitude! Enjoy your nightly golf! Our weather has been wonderful with temps in the mid 70's with a breeze..we'll enjoy it while we can!! Keep that 'cold one' cold!
