One of my favorite WW stories ...






as mentioned yesterday
Superman and WonderWoman have recently taken up golf.
It reminded me of  back when my Grandhunks were little hunks, 
about age 6, 5 and almost 4, they took golf lessons.
Maybe 14 years ago ...
their parents took them to the club driving range to practice.


GH #3, 2004


WW, who is blessed with her Dad's athletic ability, 
picked up a club and hit the ball a mile.
The club Pro noticed and came trotting over, 
saying, "Are you interested in taking up golf?"

WW replied, "Nah, I just like to hit things."

Coaches & teammates on her volleyball, softball teams
and friends in the dojo would probably agree.

A smile for Tuesday ...




A PLANE IS ON ITS WAY TO TORONTO , WHEN A BLONDE IN ECONOMY CLASS 
GETS UP AND MOVES TO THE FIRST CLASS SECTION AND SITS DOWN.
THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT WATCHES HER DO THIS AND ASKS TO SEE HER TICKET.
SHE THEN TELLS THE BLONDE THAT SHE PAID FOR ECONOMY CLASS 
AND THAT SHE WILL HAVE TO SIT IN THE BACK.
THE BLONDE REPLIES, "I'M BLONDE, I'M BEAUTIFUL, 
I'M GOING TO TORONTO AND I'M STAYING RIGHT HERE."
THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT GOES INTO THE COCKPIT AND TELLS 
THE PILOT AND THE CO-PILOT THAT THERE IS A BLONDE BIMBO 
SITTING IN FIRST CLASS, THAT BELONGS IN ECONOMY AND 
WON'T MOVE BACK TO HER SEAT.
THE CO-PILOT GOES BACK TO THE BLONDE AND TRIES TO
 EXPLAIN THAT BECAUSE SHE ONLY PAID FOR ECONOMY 
SHE WILL HAVE TO LEAVE AND RETURN TO HER SEAT.
THE BLONDE REPLIES, "I'M BLONDE, I'M BEAUTIFUL, 
I'M GOING TO TORONTO AND I'M STAYING RIGHT HERE."
THE CO-PILOT TELLS THE PILOT THAT HE PROBABLY SHOULD 
HAVE THE POLICE WAITING WHEN THEY LAND TO ARREST THIS BLONDE 
WOMAN WHO WON'T LISTEN TO REASON.
THE PILOT SAYS, "YOU SAY SHE IS A BLONDE? 
I'LL HANDLE THIS, I'M MARRIED TO A BLONDE. I SPEAK BLONDE."
HE GOES BACK TO THE BLONDE AND WHISPERS IN HER EAR, 
AND SHE SAYS, "OH, I'M SORRY." AND GETS UP 
AND GOES BACK TO HER SEAT IN ECONOMY.
THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT AND CO-PILOT ARE AMAZED 
AND ASKED HIM WHAT HE SAID TO MAKE HER MOVE WITHOUT ANY FUSS.
"I TOLD HER, 'FIRST CLASS ISN'T GOING TO TORONTO."

Family update:

We all go to Eastside Church in Anaheim.
We used to go to the 10:30 service every Sunday, 
but Grandhunk 1 & 2 work brunch @ Social, in Costa Mesa.
Now Grandhunk # 3 works brunch @ Rockwell's, in Villa Park.
Luckily for us, our church just added a 4:30 pm Sunday service.




This enabled Superman and WonderWoman to take up golf.
 



The Grandhunks can go to work and
we call all go to church together Sunday afternoon.


GH#1, SM, GH#2, WW,  GH#3


Just feels right, and Sunday is so much better together.


GH#3, me, GH#1 & GH#2


GH#2, me, GH#1 & GH#3


We all eat Sunday dinner together afterwards.





And I catch up my hugs.
(GH#1 is 14" inches taller than me, so he has to adapt. ;o)
So many blessings.












A smile for Monday ...

Day 1271: It was a duel at sunset ...

Still on Grandma TLC duty.



 
Grandhunk #3 and I were on our way 
to the golf range Saturday when ..
we both noticed the spectacular sunset!
We both whipped out our (i-phone) 6 shooters ...
and it was on, a duel, big time!


I shot ...






Z shot ...

and then we went to the driving range.






Meanwhile up in SF, the OLU Varsity BB team,
coaches and parents took a cruise!

 As always, 
thanks so much for visiting this little blog.

Day 1252: Deja Vu but bigger!







"Goal", photo, collage & digital












Way back in December 2012, 
I accompanied GH#3, Zack, to the driving range,
and mentioned it in an early Day 158 blog,  here.




December 30, 2012



A funny kid like his Mom, who also likes to hit things!





So now, on day three of Grandma duty ...
we are have had two trips to the driving range. 






So far.







Now 15, a 6'2" high school freshman with tons of power ...




he loves this ...






and I love watching him love it.

 




Not a fancy place. 
The grass is thirsty due to our water shortage.







But it's heaven to this kid.






And when you think about it, shooting for a goal ...
that could come in handy?





So you'll know where to find us!
Thanks so much for visiting.











A smile for Wednesday ...

Day 158: ... in a timely manner?



It's time!



I must get the decorations down.
I want all signs gone before 2013!



except the plants, of course, they're family.



I'm talking wrapping paper, cards,
name-tags, window lights etc.





But then Grandson # 3 says lets go hit golf balls.
Christmas clean-up?  Time with Zack?  Easy choice.

Local driving range is busy with men of all ages.

Zack (12) "likes to hit things", and has power to spare.
 He hit the "cowboy"!
Bucket of balls, $5.
1/2 bucket from the CSF star, bonus!







It was really cold.
We had rain approaching.








So by the time we got home ...




The aftermath of a lot of afternoon rain was ...




and ...



and on Saddleback Mountain ... snow!



See, I told you it was cold!
