So what have we done since Monday? Wish I could remember - that's why I take photographs - otherwise I really wouldn't have a clue at times. It seems easier to remember 40 + years ago than 4 days ago.
I think Tuesday was just another day of rest - we didn't go anywhere. I arranged golf at Grants Pass on Wednesday afternoon - played with a Glaswegian from Vancouver and his son. He left Scotland when he was 8 and has only been back once - mind you, his family came from Castlemilk and the Gorbals and the shock of going there put him off returning! He flattered me somewhat when we were swapping tales of injuries - his back, my knees - and moaning about the effect it was having on our golf. I added that age wasn't helping and he said to me - "we're about the same age, aren't we? I'll be 50 next birthday". Treasure that one, Ian!
Jo and I drove down to Medford in the morning and did some shopping - Harry and David's (http://www.harryanddavid.com/gifts/store/home___) had to be done after all! In the evening, when the Lesinas went off to football conditioning, Jo and I took Holly for a walk round the local park - well, mostly Jo, actually:
I stayed at Delsie Drive on Thursday and looked after the boys as Jo and Lucy went for a long walk, then a bit of shopping. Scott was home early and we ate before the boys went to football. Afterwards, Scott lit the fire at the back of the garden and we had toasted marshmallows and 'Smores (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%27more) - lovely!:
I'd seen some tins of locally brewed beer in Harry and David's and thought Scott might like them:
Fearless Scottish Ale! |
We're going to watch the boys train tonight and tomorrow the Lesinas head off on the long drive to Southern California. They'll drop us off in Medford and we'll spend the day and night there then fly off on Sunday morning and meet them at Newport Coast.
