Why it makes me happy - there is nothing like hitting a good wedge to a semi-blind pin....knowing it was a good shot...and then coming up over the rise to see........you don't even have to putt. It doesn't happen that much...got a double dose of it today.

HappyUP!!! - chatting with Don H

Why it happened - he saw me

Why it makes me happy - I don't know how many years since I have seen this senior. I was shocked that he not only remembered me.......but recounted details about our friendship from 30 yrs ago that blew me away.

"Christ, for the most part, did his teaching outside."

<-----I asked if she had a license. She said, "yes." I said, "cool....let's hit it." In retrospect, I shold have been more specific regarding what TYPE of license she had.

Why it makes me happy - I was doing some good work...making some progress. The Head Pro came by....saw me hit three balls.....liked a lot of what I was doing......gave me one little drill and adjustment.....BAM! The ball flight and ball striking change was DRAMATIC! More work to do on it but I'm glad this isn't a major swing change.

HappyUP!!! - the philosophy of Christ

Why it happened - it's been carried down for years

HappyUP!!! - 6 iron into 17

Why it happened - working on my action

HappyUP!!! - great meeting

Why it happened - I had the "small group" today

Why it makes me happy - we have two distinct opportunities in the Wed Toastmaster group that I have the privilege of mentoring. One is the "big room" and the other is the "small room." We had 7 people in the small room............but it was as good a meeting as you can have in Toastmasters. I conferred with my co-mentor who was in the "big room." Though our club is new, he said a guest made a comment, "I have visited four clubs in the last week.....this is the best run one I have seen so far." My mentor partner and I feel like our members have made great strides......but, many times, we feel like we are paddling as mad as we can under the water. We are farther ahead than we think.

HappyUP!!! - getting good information and learning

Why it happened - I got in the car and drove

Why it makes me happy - it wasn't the news I wanted.......but it was news I needed to hear. I'm still figuring out how to solve the issue. I will. Todays info put me one step closer. I love a good puzzle!

Why it happened - a little ingenuity....and some luck probably

Why it makes me happy - it's time to put the vegetable garden in. This is a bad time for "old Betsy to go down" like she did the other day. She just needed a few days to sit out there in the "west 40" and think about it. She was back up grinding like a champ!

HappyUP!!! - fun in the alley

Why it happened - I was plowing

Why it makes me happy - I got to chat with my two male neighbor buddies over the fence and in the alley......."man talk." Then, we got a surprise visit from my two closest friends that drove up....introductions made.......great people time.

HappyUP!!! - photo fix

Why it happened - a little research

Why it makes me happy - my phone said it was out of memory to take pictures. Yet, I didn't have that many pics on there. I delved into the memory....turns out that, due to a recent iPhones synch, my entire music catalog had downloaded on to my phone......NOT anything I had tried to do. Anyway, I just felt great to have figured this deal out. I know....a 16 yr old would have know immediately. Hey....at my age.....love thinking like a 16 yr old with the wisdom of the age that I have luckily acquired!

HappyUP!!! - knocking it around the new course

Why it happened - I changed my golfing preferences

Why it makes me happy - I'm going to have to relearn some of my old shots.....but I still had a few in the bag. That little 90 yd punch fade with an 8 iron from under the trees to 2 feet? A thing of beauty. It's time to start ramping up the golf game again.

HappyUP!!! - friends joining me

Why it happened - they feel like I do

Why it makes me happy - great to keep what was left of the old gang alive
