Catta Bella Ladies Invitational - September 9 - 11, 2010

I played in the Catta Bella Ladies golf tournament in September. The theme this year was New York, New York. It started off with a putting contest Thursday night with competition play on Friday and Saturday. Here's our awesome team.

Sabrina, Susan, Kathy, & Debbie

Sabrina & Debbie have a really LOW index's... and then there's Susan and me.... really HIGH index's. Susan & I got lots of pops on the holes to "even us out" on the score card.

Sabrina & Debbie = Our awesome bosses, we did whatever they suggested as far as reading the greens, strategy plays, etc.

One of the par 3's was decorated as the Empire State Building; notice the ape is holding a Barbie doll... too funny.

We wanted to have a team name, so we called ourselves the "Waybish" team (two last names put together). We had such a good time that I was already invited back next year to play on the Waybish team... these girls are so cool.

Wherever I go I always see "Hank's" name on something... go figure. And that's the year I was born!

WOOFstock - August 29, 2010

WOOFstock is a local event which is held each year in Rocklin. It's theme is based on "Woodstock" and the hippies, but with dogs. A lot of people dress up in the 60's style and they dress up their dogs too! I have never seen so many dogs in one place, it's a lot of fun if you're a dog over. They have dog relays, tricks, cutest dressed, most talented and a lot more categories. Sometimes the police bring their dogs and they will see how fast they can run by using their radar guns on them.

This dog was all dressed up doing tricks, he was very cute.

I guess this dogie has a broken tail???

I guess this puppy has 2 broken legs??

See what I mean about people getting into the hippie thing... WOW


I just fell in love with this dog. He was such a gentle giant.

Poor Dog!!!

Fun with Wong's - August 16-18, 2010

We drove to Pleasanton and stayed with George & Carol for a couple of days. We played golf at Wente Golf Course in Livermore. It was unseasonably COLD. I obviously didn't pack properly and was cold the whole weekend. It eventually warmed up and we enjoyed our game.

The course is very pretty as it goes along the vineyards. Here is Lombard Street; check out the next picture of the cart path on Lombard.

Needless to say, I would NOT want to walk this course!!!

One day we played bocce ball; now that's a fun game. The girls kicked butt!!!!

Joey's 2nd Birthday - August 14, 2010

Jessica made the cutest cake ever for Joey's 2nd birthday, Pooh Bear's bee hive. The party was a lot of fun with kids running all over the place.

It was a good idea to float the balloons from the ceiling, the kids loved playing with them. I even saw a couple adults grabbing at them.

Mother Butler 37th High School Reunion - July 31, 2010

We celebrated our Mother Butler (affectionately know as "MaButts") 37th high school reunion on July 31st. There were 45 'all girl' alumni that attended the afternoon garden luncheon. We had a GREAT time and everyone looked fantastic... what a wonderful group of 55 year olds.

These banners were so fricken funny!!!

My best friend Paula flew down for a few days to stay with me and attend the party. It was a girls weekend and we just hung out and talked and talked and talked.

The day after the reunion, Paula & I went to Willow Glen to visit her sister Suzie. We went out to lunch and visited for the day; we had a really nice time.

While we were at the restaurant eating lunch, this lady came in with her dog that was all dressed up in a stroller. She started prompting the dog (in a very loud voice) to sing... and this was in front of everyone sitting at the tables!!! She was a looney tune for sure!! Here's a picture of her "baby".
