Yet another great day!

Fellow bloggers, Maria, Corinna, and Brian

Fun, fun, fun!  That is the Hunthausen Golf Tournament. I look forward to it anxiously all summer.  My friend Maria, who is in charge of it all, looks forward to it anxiously all summer as well, but I think her anxiety is of a different sort.  She lets me volunteer, and I feign working hard, but actually, I am just having a great time.  The idyllic surroundings – lots of trees, a fabulous fountain spurting up from a lovely lakelet, darling duckies, all go to make a delightful afternoon. I was a failed photographer this year, so I only have a few for you.  I was desperate to get a picture of the ducks who kept wandering right into the clubhouse during the pre-dinner party, perhaps looking for a glass of wine or - more likely, as they were ducks, a cocktail, but other party goers kept officiously shooing them out.

In addition to having a fun time, I brought home lots of swag.  There was a silent auction, and I won a nice little bag made by my friend Peggy.  There was a popular “wine roulette booth,” at which one paid the price and selected a cutely wrapped bottle of wine.  This would prove, in most cases, to be wine very ordinaire, or maybe a bottle of wine somewhat better than ordinaire, but there was a possibility of getting some spectacular vintage, which would, no doubt, be wasted on me.  I am certainly not among the wine cognoscenti, and am happy if it just tastes nice.

There was also a mystery gift table, and again one paid the price, with the potential of getting something fabulous – in this case, a huge Nordstrom gift card – but this is what I got.  Not something I would have selected, but he will be a good companion for my Garten Zwerge.

The dinner was great too!
