Birmingham, Alabama

In mid-June it was off to Birmingham to visit some of my favorite people in the world. They wake me up earlier than I would like, but at least I know a fun-filled day is always ahead. In July, they came to St. Louis for their first visit since they moved a year ago. We had a great time. I only wish we lived closer to each other.

Lake Tahoe

July is almost over, and I have yet to do my June posts. Early in June I went to the Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe for the "Tournament of Champions". It was the first round of golf I have ever played in my life. The scenery was beautiful and the guys in my group were fun, but one day of golf was plenty for me. After completing the first hole I felt I had a good idea of the experience...and then I had to go seventeen more holes. The second day I opted to just enjoy the view and relax. People always think I look like I play golf...let this be proof I don't. But I am glad I gave it a shot and may even try it again someday.















Some quick facts about Lake Tahoe: It is the second deepest lake in the USA, tenth in the world. Its deepest point measures 1,645 feet. The average depth is 1,000 feet. It is 22 miles long and 12 miles wide...with 72 miles of shoreline. A breathtaking and majestic creation.
