What I am going to say is that my one little word for the year is Reflect, but I haven't reflected in a long, long time. So I thought I'd take a moment to look back at the three months that just flew by...
I have a favorite moment of the summer. Which is fun because I have trouble picking a favorite color. But I can pick a moment. It was at our favorite place to eat here in our new town: the golf club. Few seem to know about this gem of a eatery, but we adore it. The food is exceptional and the price is right. We went many times this summer, eating on the patio, watching the golfers tee off on hole one. (Entertainment for the kids! It's perfect.)
On this particular favorite night of them all, we ate (maybe I had the perfect cobb salad with homemade blue cheese dressing. Maybe I had their buffalo wings that could win a competition. I can't remember...but the meal was awesome as always) and then we went to the club house and asked if we could take a golf cart to check out the course. The guy was fine with it, didn't even make us pay. The sun was setting, it was Friday night and there was no one golfing. Rory drove, I held Elsie in my lap and Ivar either stood or sat between us. The night was perfect in temperature, the course was stunning, the homes surrounding the course were fun to look at and the kids were thrilled. I remember Ivar blissfully laughing and asking if this was Disneyland. (We had just flown back from California the day before). I knew in the moment that this was a favorite memory in the making.
I have a close second favorite memory: eating an orange scone in disneyland as soon as we arrived. We hadn't been on a ride, but we stopped at the building that plays Mary Poppins music and had our coffee at an outdoor table while people watching. And I remember feeling magically happy.

I'll have to check out your golf course. We've never been there. Thanks for the tip. And, I have to say, never once have I considered asking if I could just drive around the course to check it out. That is brilliant! I don't play golf so I've always considered the golf course off limits! :)
Yes! Nancy, give it a shot. It's sort of funny...there isn't necessarily someone to seat you. You can just walk around the side of the building and sit on the deck and a server will come. Or you can sit inside too. Friday night is Pasta Bar, which is awesome. Friday and Saturday night they serve the bigger entree's, the rest of the time it's great salads, soups, burgers, sandwiches etc. SO SO GOOD!
And yes, I'm going to be trying the "check the course out" more often at other courses when things seem slow. It was so fun.
