Years from now we will remember our summer as "the summer we lived in the apartment". Other than that I believe it will be "the beginning of the golf addiction" and "the summer I gained ten pounds thanks to Chef K".
Last Christmas I purchased golf clubs and bags for all three of my guys. The boys had been interested in playing and Kevin enjoyed an occasional game in his post marriage years. I believed it would be a great testosterone activity for them to enjoy together. Well, not quite sure enjoy is the right word choice. They are all very competitive in nature so everytime the ball doesn't cooperate in flight they all get a little testy. You ought to see our family outings to Putt-Putt- not pretty.
The clubs really hadn't been broken in until a few weeks ago. Logan attended a golf camp with three of his friend the end of June. He had a great time and became quite knowledgable and pretty darn good at golf. After that he had to use his birthday money that was burning a hold in his pocket on a more improved golf bag, balls, tees, a towel, and a glove.
Last weekend for the first time in the K family history the whole family golfed 18 holes! Well, I golfed about 9 because I just plain gave up considering I have never learned or played in my forty years of life. It was fun, I guess, but very hot, long, and tiring. Notice, I didn't say relaxing! This week L is playing in a jr golf tournament. Not really sure how that will go - w'ell see!
The real problem I have is K! He has been cooking and baking all summer! Oh, yes, it really is a good thing. The problem is while he is cooking, I am eating and eating and eating! Blueberry muffins, grilled chicken, fajitas, brownies, and his favorite creation: Fudge Spoon Pie with ice cream. Oh my! I have no willpower! Now he wants us to have a cook off like the show Iron Chef America! Lot's of fun but lot's of food!!!!!!! It really has been a blast teaching him how to cook and explore some different recipes.
How many more days until school starts?

Beautiful golf course! I grew up living on a golf course and our whole family played 3 or more times a week! I played my first jr. tournament when I was 5 years old. Then, I married a farm boy and every now and then I will go the driving range or play some while the boys are in school. I LOVE golf!! Weird, but I grew up doing it. Have a great rest of your summer.
What fun! I miss playing golf so much. Our clubs are back in Louisiana, taking up residence in the in-laws' storage building. I can't wait til the day I can get my clubs back in my hands. Or the day I can actually go hit some balls again, whether it's on a driving range or an all-out course.
The cooking sounds great, too! I love Iron Chef America, and I actually heard about a man who does Iron Chef block parties. He gets his neighbors together and tells them the secret ingredient, then they go home and make their creations. When they've finished, they gather round for a block party and judge the food. I'd love to do something like that! Maybe K could "organize" something like that to get to know your new neighbors when you move into your new home!
What a great summer for you!
