Golf

Today, Ella and I saw the new Bond flick with Miranda and Matthew. The local movie theatre has Mommy matinées on Monday at 11. There were a handful of other moms and even a dad, all with babies and strollers. It was wonderful to take Ella to a movie and not worry about disturbing others. Ella was great! She loved the big screen and watched most of the movie just leaning back against me. I fed her a bottle and eventually she fell asleep just before it ended. She was watching Matthew and Miranda watch the movie and was fascinated with her movie date with Mommy. Next week it's "Deja Vu" with Denzel, we can't wait to see that. Ella is so wonderfully behaved she's allowed me so much freedom to go when and where I want with her.

I have found a new interest. It was inevitable really, living on an island....golf. Ron and I both have our own clubs and I have wanted to start learning so in retirement Ron actually wants to play with me! So many women I know start learning when their husbands have retired and never get to play with them anyway because there's such a gap in skill level. We went to the driving range and golf has to be one of the most intimidating sports. Everyone out there looks like they know what they're doing and they look good doing it. After a few tips from Ron I hit a couple of balls...in a straight line, almost 150 yards! I was so proud of myself...especially since I was told I probably wouldn't make contact or hit very well at first. So much fun! I watched Ella as Ron finished the bucket and we're going to try to go again tonight. Look out Dad, one day you may have to take me golfing!!! Who would have thought!

Ella's top two teeth have popped through this weekend!
