Saturday Slow Down

How did we spend the day after Thanksgiving? Well, it didn't involve any turkey. Crazy, right??

Ed and his dad went golfing at
Omni Tucson National Resort - one of Golf Digest's "75 Best Golf Resorts in North America". This resort also has been the host of countless PGA events and is home to the prestigious Chrysler Classic of Tucson. They really enjoyed the course and Ed said everything was high class and fancy-schmancy - even the clubs they rented were in the thousands of dollars range.

This resort is only five miles from the house, and has always had a wonderful reputation - especially among golfers. Years ago, when I was working at another resort, I got tickets to one of the golf events being held at Tucson National. I gave the tickets to a friend at work and he wound up inviting me to go with him. I saw many golf greats but realized being on the course, following the game as it moved down the fairway, that it wasn't a place for me. Why, you ask? They have actual signs that they hold up to tell you to stop talking. I think they might actually say "Shhhh". Nope, definitely not for me.

While the boys played golf, us women stayed home and did nothing. Just lounged around watching TV, reading magazines and napping. When the men got home, we put dinner on - leftover chicken soup that my mother had made and leftover sausage and peppers that I had made; not the traditional next-day-turkey-sandwich. After dinner, it was dessert and several games of Scrabble.

There you have it - the entire itinerary for a Saturday night with the over-65 crowd.

If you get a chance, do see "The Hedgehog." French flick. Marvelous.

Happy Turkey weekend!

Stayed at The Blue Swallow Motel in Tucumcari last night; off to Tejas now.

It must be our Italian blood as I was told to stop talking the one and only time I went to a golf tournament with one of my friends that is a golfer!
