So Close .....

Our West Florence JV Boys Soccer Team went to the post-season JV Irmo Tournament this weekend. For those not in the area, Irmo is just outside Columbia, SC. This particular tournament was a follow-up to the pre-season tournament where we were CHAMPS back in February! We won two of our three games and the deciding factor came down to points. The last game needed to be a shut-out (no goals scored on us) but after a somewhat stupid but fair call that spiraled into a penalty kick we were scored upon. That one goal gave the other team the right to advance to the championship round (EVEN when we won 3-1). Austin was very lucky to have a lot of play time during all the tournament games. Blake even met us and watched the Friday game, ditched his car in Columbia and rode to Florence with us where he washed clothes and then drove back Saturday to Columbia for more soccer games before heading back to Wofford for a formal event with Kaley's sorority that evening.

How Sore Are We...

.....my sweet husband gave in and let me win the great fence debate.....to hedge or not to hedge. You see our former neighbor erected a wooden fence and we see the ugly side of slats and posts. We never could agree on the type of greenery we wanted....Oleander / Wax Myrtle / or what. We finally decided two years later and new neighbors moved in....wax myrtles with a river burch or two and man they look good although we both worked hard, Stan a bit more than I and we are paying for it now. But man it looks great!

Happy Birthday Caroline!

High Five!

Best wishes for the happiest of birthdays!

The Masters 2008

We won the Lottery....Golf Lottery that is..... Stan has been entering his name for Masters Golf Tickets for more than five years and this was his lucky year. We were privileged to purchase four tickets for the Tuesday Golf Practice and Wednesday Par 3 Tournament in Augusta, Georgia. With the possibility of never getting to go again (should our name not be pulled again), I was not going to miss this opportunity. We invited our best friends and off we went in a brand new eye catching little black sports car with shiny 10 spoked rims (hopefully my description does the Infinity justice). The course was......WOW! The food was......CHEAP! The Masters experience with friends....Priceless!
