Weekly Words of Wisdom - 9/30/2016

Good morning,

I hope you are having a nice week.   For me the week has been  a tad sad.  On Sunday I learned, along with the rest of the world, about the passing of Arnold Palmer.  When I was a little girl, golf on TV on the weekends was a staple in our house.  Hours were spent with my dad cheering on the greats of that era…  Arnie, Gary, Jack, Lee Trevino, Tom Watson and Fuzzy Zoeller to list a few names that still bound about my head.  Sunday’s in the summer were so special.  My sister and her family would come over.  Dad and my brother in-law would often get a round in after church and then it was chicken on the grill, homemade ice cream churning, apple pie and golf.  The other days of the week we cheered on the Big Red Machine!  But on Sundays it was the “G” day….  God and golf :)  

Arnie always reminded me of my dad.  Both kind, genuine, hardworking, and honest men.  Likable and inspiring in the most gentlest of ways.  My role models and who I try to emulate.  If I can be ½ the person they were I will say that I have succeeded in this life.  So in honor of Arnie, this week my quotes are all from him.

I hope you have a lovely day.
