News at the Course:
Hey, I am back.  I hope you didn't miss me too much - or at least my little piece in your paper.  I got to do a little traveling with my beautiful wife; we will be celebrating our 25th anniversary on August 13.  We went on a Caribbean Cruise and then headed down to the Ozarks to have some more fun in the sun at the Ozark 7 Resort.  Thanks, Dave and Judy.  This year was even a little more special because we had the 1st Annual Triathlon.  That was fun - and no one ended up on the bottom of the lake!  Wait 'til next year - my Misfit Team is going to win!

Wedding Fairy

A married couple in their early 60s was celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary in a quiet, romantic little restaurant.  Suddenly, a tiny yet beautiful fairy appeared on their table.

She said, 'For being such an exemplary married couple and for being loving to each other for all this time, I will grant you each a wish.'

The wife answered, 'Oh, I want to travel around the world with my darling, beloved husband.'  The fairy waved her magic wand and - poof! - two tickets for the Queen Mary II appeared in the wife's hands.

The husband thought for a moment: 'Well, this is all very romantic, but an opportunity like this will never come again.

I'm sorry my love, but my wish is to have a wife 30 years younger than I.'

The wife and the fairy were deeply disappointed, but a wish is a wish, so the fairy waved her magic wand and poof! The husband became 92 years old.

The moral of this story: Men who are ungrateful, selfish and full of themselves should remember fairies are female.....

Parting Shot:

As of this writing, my understanding is the sale of the land has indeed gone through and is pretty much a done deal.  Some paper work will have to be finalized, and some information will need to be communicated with the Lincoln Valley members.  Plan to be at our annual meeting this fall.  This, my friends, is great news for our golf course and for our community.  Thank you, Jeannette and Harlan!
