Pink Saturday!!!

It's that time again!  Welcome back friends! 

And thank you Beverly at  http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/my_weblog/   for hosting this fun event each week!

We are busy being "Snowbirds" in Yuma AZ. right now.  We have made so many friends here. It's fun everyday! Between riding horses, classes I'm taking, Golf every Tuesday with a select group of women, then lunch afterwards, Cocktail/appetizer parties at least 3 nights a week, Farmers Market, Bike Rides and going to the Casino.  We hardly have time to hit the pool this year! 

My girlfriend and I were talking at the St. Paddy's Day Dinner/Dance last night and we decided that this is pretty much like Grown ups Summer Camp!  We are on the go like crazy, doing things we wouldn't normally do at home,  we party more than normal, spend more money at casinos and Mexico than normal and DEFINATELY socialize more than normal!  Some nights we have been so rushed during the day, (doing fun things)  we'v had to come home, shower, get ready for a party and leave that our motorhome looked like a college dorm room when we left it!  So ashamed!!! 

Sitting here on this golf course, EVERYONE goes by our place, stops and visits, and half the time ends up congragating outside on the patio.  And, EVERYONE must have a screen put up in front of their RV, in order to prevent being hit with the "occasional" stray golf ball.  So, many people decorate their screens with Canadian/American Flags or a sign with their name on it.  But our flag is a bit more colorful...We have become known for it.   Now,  since most of our friends here are Canadians, they all must be heading home soon, so it's beginning to wind down.  We will start having many going away parties...OH Yea, more parties!  And another season will have come to an end, emails and phone numbers will be exchanged and we will sadly say our goodbyes until next season....And we will all go home and dry out for another year. Hee! Hee!

This is my "PINK" for this week, it's my flag that I proudly wave in front of our Home Away From Home.

HAPPY PINK SATURDAY!

Pink Saturday!!

Well here we are again...it's PINK SATURDAY.   Thank you Beverly at How Sweet The Sound for Facilitating This fun event!

I really enjoyed last weeks, cruising through several new sites, meeting several new people who visited my blog!  
While visiting some of their's I came across  Gail @  myrepurposedlife.blogspot.com   I LOVE her blog! I spent hours reading how she has given new life to thrift store finds and made them into some of the cutest pieces of furniture and different items.  I know you will enjoy her site too!  Check out her link I've added here...

And as I warned my friends last week, I have unusual and limited pinks in my life as I travel in my Motorhome this winter.  However, YOU have made me look at what things in my days are pink and why?  Why did I pick certain things in pink?  Hmmmm....I think we all pick pink just because it makes us feel good.

But, do you know what this little gadget is? 

I bet some of you are familiar with this...but unless you golf, you might not be.... :-)

I am not only working on my horse riding skills, while traveling down south,  but I'm also finding time to do some golfing.  However....I find it very difficult to keep track of my strokes while chatting with the ladies I golf with, we're walking, talking and laughing about everyday happenings in our lives and by the time we get up to the green, I've lost track of my strokes!  And, rule number one?  Never lose track of your strokes!
You see, Golf is a game of integrity...it always has been a "gentlemans" game (so to speak).  You must keep track and you MUST report HONESTLY your strokes.  Or people just won't want to ever play with you again.  And because I seem to have such short term memory, (sometimes I swear this thing in my head cuases it...) I lose track easily of my strokes...

So, THIS clever little tool (called a bead counter thingy) LOLO, I truly have heard people call them many different things...it's not really important, because a VERY GOOD golfer won't have one!!!   It hangs on my belt loop, and everytime I take a stroke, I move up a bead.  It really does help me keep track.  UNLESS I have a REALLY BAD hole and run out of beads!  Grrrrr.......

Now, these do come in other colors, but interesting enough?  I picked a PINK one!  

Happy Pink Saturday!
