The Masters Augusta, Georgia

Augusta National - Hallowed ground for my husband Jim.

This year we attended the Masters Tournament as invited guests of a very lovely Southern family.

Cameras are never allowed on the actual tournament days.  Jim took these photos at the 2011 practice rounds.  I have watched the Masters Tournament every year on the tele - but had never attended.  Now I get what all the hoop-la is about.  This is by far the most beautiful course I have ever been on. The greens are immaculate and the way the concession stands, gift shops and rest rooms are set up is second to none.

We stayed to the very end on Sunday evening and watched Bubba receive his green jacket.  

Augusta is a really interesting place to explore and we have been enjoying our stay at the historic Partridge Inn, more on that in another post.  For now I'm about to hit the road again for a  couple of weeks and then Jim & I will meet up in Indianapolis for the Indy 500.

Cheers!

Head Over Heels!!!

Our Grandson Landon Josiah was born on March 13, 2012. Jim and I are Head Over Heels in love with this little one. I arrived in Texas at the beginning of March, helped Jasmine's friend Mara with the baby shower on March 3rd and 10 days later little Landon decided to make his entrance into the world. A week early. After that is all a blur. I was able to stay in Texas for a month to help out before I headed back to Georgia.

Jim flew out after he was born and we soaked up as much of this little one as we possibly could. Jim's new favorite pastime is to hold him for hours - as he watches golf on television. Works for everyone! There is nothing quite like holding a sleeping newborn. Melts your heart a bit.

Jasmine is doing fine after a very long labor of 36 hours! I was lucky enough to be in the delivery room when he was born.

She and Jason are thrilled with their new little one as are Talon and Savanah to have a baby brother.

I must have taken a couple thousand photos while I was there, but can only share a few because I'm using Jim's laptop - a PC no less (I'm a complete MAC addict) - and it takes me forever to post a blog entry.

Cheers!
