Optimistic Monday

June 17, 2013

Oh my, I’ve been terrible with my blog this past week.  If you didn’t already know, I was on vacation with my family in London and Scotland.  My teenage son was on the US Junior National Golf Team representing the USA vs the Scottish Junior National Team.  The USA won!!  That’s pretty darn good to beat the Scottish on their home turf.  They played at some of the oldest and most beautiful courses in Scotland.  It was a once in a lifetime experience that he’ll remember forever.
I will do a separate blog post on my wonderful vacation later this week.
