As part of my birthday vacation week, I wanted to golf as much as I could so at first chance, I went to the lovely city of Boulder City, located east of the Las Vegas Valley, to go hit that little orange ball (my preferred color!) hopefully straight lol! It was a good round, highs and lows, but just getrting Zen in and of itself!

Once again, I pay a visit to my favorite golf driving range here in Las Vegas! (Actually, Desert Willow GC is techincally in the city of Henderson, NOT Las Vegas, but I like to think of this area as the "Las Vegas Valley") Another beautiful morning in the high desert of the US West!

I achieved one objective for 2024 and that was to play golf on the first day of the year! I was fortunate to have the day off and blessed to be living in a country where you can get in your car, drive to a destination and enjoy it! For me it's the golf course and today did not disappoint! My round wasn't great and it had it's good and bad moments but overall, I will NEVER complain about having the opportunity to get out on a golf course and "Spray and Pray" the golf ball around lol! To the one or two of you who get to watch this upload, I want to wish you a blessed new year and may God watch over us all the time!

This was back in 2013 - Stormy was three and for the first time, he saw himself in the mirrors of the enormous walk-in bathroom in the place we were living in the Philippines!

This is not a flyover but a typical walk-and-talk description of the hotel I ended up staying in for the duration of my training. Comfy.

This was taken further into the approach (before landing) to illustrate the layout of homes in the Atlanta area. I noted the size of homes and lots with all the large trees surrounding these neighborhoods. Impressive! If you love green? This might just be the place for you!

This was taken on the plane when we were on descent to Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport in Atlanta. I was impressed with the amout of green in the coutryside surrounding us and wanted to capture it.

Folks, I have golfed at Boulder City Golf Course many times and only NOW have I noticed this "anomaly" which I found absolutely fascinating and thought I'd share in the attempt to find out what this is! On the fairway of hole #12 - a par-5 - I noticed this anomaly while waiting to take my second shot. Can any of you tell me what this is?!? It's "growth" on a tree akin to a "tumor" of some sort and this growth is GRASS growing on a TREE ABOVE THE GROUND!!! Holy Moses! I thought this would be something awesome to share in the hope that someone can come up with an explanation of WHAT THIS IS!

I would have NEVER IMAGINED that on July 11, 2023, Gina and I would be dining in a restaurant - that happens to have a Mexican theme - when we "tied the knot" on this VERY DATE in 1992, in Fremont California! This restaurant, "Lindo Michoacán" comes highly rated and recommended and as we discovered, worth that praise! The anniversary aside, and we are grateful to God almighty for every anniversary, this one has the vista of the Las Vegas Strip that millions (if not billions) around our fragile Earth has come to admire and visit! We are blessed to be here at this time in our lives!

I went to the range today to hit balls. I liked the second shot better. A little straighter than the first one, with distance! Moral of the story? If golf courses were all straight and level like the artificial hitting mat? I'd be GOLDEN! LOL!

I speak multiple languages. It is an asset in the HUMAN world however, in the DOGGO world... **does not compute** lol! Stormy, on the other hand? Speaks PERFECT DOGONESE!!! Any of you Rumblers out there who can speak Dogonese, please translate for me! (I just think Stormy might be hungry?)

At our daily walk today, Stormy managed to flush this black cat out from under a car! I have no idea who this Gato is but his reaction to doggo Stormy earned my respect! No backing down from this black feline so I have decided to name this warrior cat "Stormy the Cat!" Lol 😁

At work today (05/19/23) I happened across this little beautiful black baby Lab girl! A Black Lab who reminded me of our beautiful black Lab boy! I kid you not, she so reminded me of him at this age!

We took Stormy for a short "sniff n' stroll" to the local park near us, Silverado Ranch Park, located in south Las Vegas, in the shadow of the South Point Casion! It was a nice outing, not a very long one, because at 10 years old, it's probably not a good idea to overwork our favorite canine unit! He enjoyed it tho...

I went there to use the awesome range and after my practice, on my way to the putting green, I was inspired to take a short clip of what it would be like if I was walking up to hole #1 to tee off! I didn't play because the Men's Club was in tournament but I enjoyed the beautiful vistas of the course and the surrounding countrysides that only being in South Las Vegas offers!

Lana is one Happy Girl!

A continuation of Lana - Happy Girl!

Lana is a happy girl. She might pull on the leash and want to get away but in truth? She wants what we all want: to be happy! This is part one.

Lana and the pack says "Hi" to her wonderful foster mom coming home!

Stormy our male Lab is so-called "sleeping" but what you see next tells us that he is LYING! The "tail" does not lie!

Maybe it's ours? Stormy loves to bark at TV dogs too!

Please take her to her furever home!

This is Lana, she is a rescue at a foster home in Las Vegas. She belongs in a home, a permanent home!
