Mon - Thurs Dec 2-5th - golf/shopping etc

Mon - Thurs Dec 2-5th - Golf/Shopping etc

Monday - Golf
Figured we better get out as we don't know what the weather will do next down here. We see that there are forecast of snow storms heading up the mid west and side effects in Ohio and Toronto. In Hilton head it was cloudy but got up to 17 degrees so not a bad day.  How bad can it be when we are golfing in December and 18 holes on a decent course including a cart and lunch for 2 people is $53 including tax. Enjoyed a beer in the clubhouse after the game and headed back to 'camp'

Finished off with the redone seafood leftovers from last night's dinner, suitably enhanced with green veggies etc. Good grub even though heated through. 

Tuesday - Home and shopping day. 

We had to get out to check prices etc so we went to a couple of the outlet mall plazas (Tangers). We picked up a few bargains and headed home. Janice's back is acting up and she was in a fair amount of pain, so after watching a couple of Christmas movies (Hallmark Channel) back to back, we were in a more festive mood. Derek even set up our mini Christmas tree and the outside lights. Feeling excited about the coming Christmas season. 

HO! HO! HO!


Wed - Shopping again
We had done most of the wrapping last night and decided on a couple of gifts we needed to find, so off we went to pretty much complete Christmas shopping and home to finish the wrapping. Had a great curry supper finishing off the beef roast in rogan josh sauce. Mmm! Lovely warm day today and supposed to get mid 20's tomorrow!!!

Thursday - Golf and blog
ALLIGATOR!!! - Finally!!

What a beautiful day. We knew the weather forecast was good so decided to golf in the morning rather than the afternoon. Got a 10.40 tee off for $29.99 each! Included cart and hamburger for lunch. Total bill under 70.00 for golf, lunch and a beer afterward, taxes and tip included. I know we keep mentioning it... but we still find it incredible!!!  Finally got to see an alligator floating along in some water alongside the fairway! It's the 3rd time we have played the Rose Hill course and we like it a lot. Today Janice liked it more than ever as she beat Derek by 4 strokes!!!! It was 24 degrees as we started home at 3 pm. Headed off to a couple of golf stores to size up what new clubs would cost for Janice. Derek is a little reluctant as she is getting so much better with the old ones!!! Who knows how many she will win by with new tools!! Lots of Internet research this evening and also blog catch-up night
