Sunday Afternoon Blessings DH and I love golf so we watched the 2019 British Open Championship ( The Open ) from Royal Portrush, Northern Ireland. It was broadcast Live on our local station starting at 6:30 am EDT and lasted until around 1:00 pm EDT. I was thrilled that Shane Lowry, an Irishman, won The Open by six shots at one of his favorite courses that’s only about a 4-hour drive from his home course in County Offaly, Ireland. DH is napping now. It’s another hot and humid day with triple digit heat index values. I had planned to go… Read more »

It’s weird, the past few days I only get two or three posts on this first page. I go to the bottom and click the next number and then I’m on that page so I leave.
Its just how that happens because of the clicking of the numbered pages, that is why i dont like this chat on SPO.

I would never let him chase deer or moose. Also, if mama is still around I would not want a confrontation with her protecting her young.

Wish we had pictures but too caught up in the few minutes we had the… Read more »
Oh WOW!!! That is so cool Jenn! I love Moose! Wish you had taken a pic!
No i dont follow the Owl guy, never heard of him.
Wish I had pictures but didn’t want to disturb the moment. I remember seeing a photo online of a crowd of people looking at something. Every person had their camera out except one older lady. She was in front and just smiling and enjoying the moment. It opened my eyes to sometimes just go back to life before cell phones and take in the joy of something other than through the lens of a camera. That is just me. I sometimes wish I could go back to simpler days,
I understand but i have always taken many pics and i so enjoy looking at ALL of them for whatever the reason is….the clothes , the hair, the fun times…..its my life on film♥
