Thanksgiving in Florida

This is us relaxing Sunday night just before mom flies home again. We are watching "Man of Steel"  3D. What a blast. If this is the future, bring it on.

Last week we went down to Naples to watch the best of the best on the LPGA tour play at the Tiburon Golf course which is on the Carlton Ritz property. La Te Da.!!!! We went down on a weekly pass(tues. to Sun.) for the two of us for $50(thanks to Subway's 2 for 1 coupon). We decided to stay away from Sunday(we were thinking about the potential for big crowds) so we went Thurs. and Sat. What a blast. Name a famous LPGA professional and she was there. Up close and very personable.
I got to talk to David Leadbetter who is currently engaged with Lydia Ko, Michelle Wie and Suzzane Pedersen. Michelle Wie's parents were also on hand and it was pretty obvious who father was as Michelle looks just like him. That's he behind Leadbetter.

Thur. we followed Wie, Ko(who has just turned pro at the age of 16) and Korda. On Sat. we followed Pederen, Inkster and Icher. We picked them up at the 13th. a beautiful par 4 pictured here with a long carry over water to the right. I didn't see one ball in the water. Go figure.

Just to give you an idea how close we could be to these stars,here is a picture of Aprille as Wie is exiting 13.

The course is surrounded by opulence. Here is a small sample. There is money down here.

Okay just a few more and we're done.
The first is the par 3 16 and the last one is the par 4 18th

Friday we had my buddy Dave over for dinner and guitar night. Fun wow. I wish he was right handed. It's hard to follow new pieces with a lefty and he has a lot to show me.

Sat. we had a tenant meet and greet at Baybreeze complete with turkey,ham and all the fixings and accompanied by Karaoke. Nice.
We met a few new couples that we are going to hang out with.
Bob and Janice were over for supper on Sunday, ostensibly to catch the Grey Cup, but that never happened. We were too busy gabbing and having a good time. They stayed till 2 am. Then we watched the Grey Cup on the PVR. Thank God we didn't waste time watching that  game. All those years of waiting for that spectacle?????
Yesterday we had Aprille back golfing again(on the range) after her shoulder injury and she hit some really nice shots. She's just a few tweaks away from having fun.
Aprille is pursuing her jewelry passion and now has set up a display in her salon. She has her own web site applesjewels.com and her own business cards which are being delivered on Wed. (Thanks Frank and Angie)
Well we are only a few days away from Turkey time. We're going over to John and Sandra's for all the trimmings.
Well it's off to the gym.
