Today I wanted to begin with a little tour and re-fresher course for all of you faithful readers. Some things have changed and others have stayed the same...so pay attention! Beginning at the top of the blog page you will find three titles 1) Home 2) All About Abby 3) Stella & Dot. These are all separate pages. The home page will automatically come up each time you access our site. To view the other pages, you must click on each heading. The home page will have the current posting as well as numerous other goodies (which I will go over with you eventually). All About Abby will give you a little insight as to what's happening with our little one each week (this page is only updated weekly). Stella and Dot is also updated only weekly and will feature a new item from my favorites collection. As you read the Stella & Dot page, certain words will be highlighted. Those words can be clicked to take you to my Stella & Dot website, or to another link. You can also access the Stella & Dot page from the home page of the blog. Moving to the right of the home page you will find 8 different sections. First you will see Abby's current age and a cute, recent photo. The second section from the top is a little blurb about Jim and I and what our blog is all about. Next comes a new section this year "Noteworthy News". In this section you will find links to video clips, news articles, and interviews. I will only be removing items from this section when I can't add any more! The next section is Upcoming Tour Events. This is simply a listing of the next five PGA Tour events. This is not necessarily where you will find OUR schedule, as it may be different. To read about our doings, well, keep up with the home page and read! The next section is about our journey through the Academy Award winning best picture films. Yes, we are moving slowly, but still viewing movies. I have added a rating after each movie, just our humble opinion. Next, my section on reading. I will list books that I am reading or have read, just in case you're interested. Next, a whole bunch of family photos, our furry family that is. And finally, the blog archive. This is where you can go back to reference a past posting or catch up on the blog if you've been away for a while. Those of you who are new, I encourage you to check out some past postings! And finally, the bottom of the home page contains three different sections. The first is a collection of our favorite sites. You can click on each link to take you to that site. Next, you'll find the picture of the day. This is usually updated each time I make a new posting. These photos do not get archived, so enjoy while they last! And finally, you can find a section of links that will take you to sites that can help you decorate your own blog. I also want to point out that there are a number of icons/words at the end of each posting. You will find a small area giving the posting information including time of day and at the end of that line a section that lets you know how many comments there have been on each posting. You can comment by clicking on that small line, or by clicking anywhere on the post and scrolling to the bottom to a comment section. Under that small line you will find 5 icons. From left to right they are 1) for emailing the post to someone 2) for blogging about the post on your own blogger account 3) for sharing the post to your twitter account 4) for sharing the post to your facebook page and 5) for sharing the post to google buzz. I WILL NOT BE SENDING OUT EMAILS TO THE FOLLOWERS OF THIS POST ANY LONGER. I HOPE YOU WILL CHECK BACK WITH US OFTEN. TREAT OUR POST LIKE YOUR FAVORITE WEBSITE. OUR CONTENT CHANGES FREQUENTLY, SO CHECK IN OFTEN! To get in touch with us you may also email us from the bottom of each posting (click on the envelope icon), or write a comment! Now on to the fun stuff ...oh you can find the picture captions at the bottom of each picture!
Jim had a great first tournament, the Sony Open, in Hawaii! I am so proud of his accomplishments. We made the cut, but due to the rain the PGA Tour limited the field for the final 36 holes. Usually this happens on the final day, after the third round of golf. There was a bit of disappointment not to be playing on Sunday, but all were pleased with the weeks total results! Waialae was just beautiful. There were exotic trees and flowers all over the place.
The sunset on the 17th hole was gorgeous on Friday. I was hoping this picture would lighten up a bit, but it's still interesting.
Saturday's round brought more sun and less clouds, yea! Here you can see the famous "W" for Waialae Country Club. I'm sure this was a man-made "W", but it's awful cool either way.
This sunny picture is the same as the shadowed photo from the day before. The coastline is just beautiful! We didn't do too much on Sunday, as we had a lot of packing to do and a red-eye to LA.
Unfortunately our wishes would not work out for this week at the Bob Hope. We are leaving tomorrow for San Diego to prepare for Torrey Pines. We've had just enough time to spend with a few friends and get some laundry done.
This is our good friend Kristina Putnam and her little boy Jantzen. Jantzen is 14 weeks old and is just sooooo cute. We were fortunate to stay with them in Hawaii and again for a few days this week. It's been really interesting watching Abby react to him. She just loves him so much. Especially his hair. She pets it, just as she does with our cat.
We were also blessed this week with our other good friend Chastity Mathis (left) and her little boy, Brady. Brady is 10 weeks old. Abby seems so big and much, much different from these little guys. It's amazing that this is where we were this time last year. We all had lunch at the clubhouse together and enjoyed catching up. There was also some time today for a little R&R. Kristina and I enjoyed a lovely spa day, with massage and pedicure! Hopefully, next week will meet Jim's golfing needs. I know he is anxious to get back on the course!
