100th for Grey's /100th for Golf Gal

it's the 100th episode for Grey's Anatomy
and the 100th post for Tales of a Golf Gal
on the same day. today. May 7th! What a co-ink-y-dink!
I have watched now and then through the years, but the best part of the Grey's 100th show is Izzie's wedding website and the the bridal registry she has set up. The purpose... if you feel compelled to give a gift to this imaginary couple, is for you instead to give a donation to these worthy foundations and associations:

In Lieu of Gifts, Your Support for the Following Charities is Appreciated!

let's see if they really go through with it!

update: there was a last minute switch up for the bride and groom to Izzie and Alex. Izzie has another tumor in her brain. Not such good news. Anyone I've known in the real world with a brain melanoma hasn't survived. I'm thinking this is her last season.

puppy love: who's your fave designer mutt?

Doxador

Now... I'm not a big dog person, but my first choice in the cuteness department: Dachshund and Labrador mix

love those eyes!
we had a black Dachshund growing up, and my sister now has two

Chackhussell
okay... I have 2 Chihuahuas and my daughter has
2 Jack Russells... so this is what their offspring would look like?
Good thing we had them fixed!
A bit too rat like for me... but... the more I look... the more it grows on me!
what's with the "so ugly it's cute" factor?
the pups above are just two of the mixed breed "designer" mutts found in this photo essay book by Amanda Jones. She's changed the names to her own whimsical version, but...
you'll know who they are.
Click on the book... take a look... and let me know what's your fave designer mutt!

Gal Pals & their Guys Tourney 2

Amidst the storms this weekend, we managed to get in our rained out spring tournament. Ten couples participated in the fun. Tourney rules are: we pair up, no husbands and wives together, not as a pair or in a foursome. It enables us to meet some new people and get to know the guys that go with our gal pals.
We came in with a 4-way tie for first place, my partner and I among the four.

I guess our pro "Gilligan" did a good job pairing us all up!

Dotti was the big winner with longest drive and closest to the pin!

It was a great afternoon for golf... good times, as always, were had by all!

welcome to the world...

May day... a celebration of planting season

I've learned to listen to Mother Nature and go with what works best for my yard's exposure and my ability to take care of my summer annuals. I always go with Begonias. I like to have lots of flowers around, but I'm not always around to water them so... I need something that doesn't require too much care. For me it's Begonias, they always bloom real well and do me proud.

Diggin' in the dirt, that's what I'll be doing this weekend!
what are you up to?

(that is... besides power washing and getting the lake house clean and ready for summer visitors)
