My Homies



The Traveling Wilbury's......Diane, Nancy, Leslie & Janet

State Golf Tournaments are really just an excuse to have a girl trip....and as I have stated in previous posts it doesn't matter how you play, as long as you look good. The main criteria is that the hotel should be within walking distance of a place to eat dinner for obvious reasons. Snacks in the room instead of dinner causes certain disaster the next day as Nancy can attest.

Our tournaments have taken us to parts of our beautiful state that I would never adventure to; Parker, Bisbee, Green Valley, etc. Our most recent tourney took us all the way to Glendale!(about 45 minutes from home!)But, being sure we couldn't possibly get up early enough to arrive for our 8 a.m. tee time with ALL the anticipated traffic, we bucked up and enjoyed the hospitality at the Holiday Inn.

Excitement on most evenings can consist of meeting new friends (a la "Shannon")in Bisbee or the usual routine of Nancy, Janet and Leslie reading on their Kindles while I settle for cruising the internet on my laptop.

Early breakfast is a must and we can always count on Cracker Barrel to 1)open at 6 a.m., 2) have pancakes for me and 3)play the super loud, twangy country music that Nancy loves.

We took a fabulous day trip to downtown Glendale for burgers, Cerritas Candy Factory and a stop by Cabellas (can you believe they had NEVER EVER been there?)


Here we are with super rock star Nancy admiring the Bass Tracker Boats. She definitely has "Attitude From a Distance."

The whole experience is one I look forward to several times a year. Nancy & I won 2nd gross in our flight this last time out! Tiger called me to offer his congratulations.

YaYa's instigate a good life.

  3. Shannon of Bisbee looks like she'd be a riot with a few drinks in her. :) It's really nice that you do these getaways with your friends. Looks like fun!

  4. You really do have a wonderful life. Cracker Barrel, Cabellas, Cerritas and fabulous friends !! We have to work on our Attitude from a Distance and start coming in First in these tournaments. Maybe if we didn't eat so much at breakfast and so early.
