I am not my MRI...

I guess it's my turn to plead forgiveness for such a long hiatus from blogging. I could give you a long list of excuses, but the best one is I really should be writing a travel blog. After all, this year I have spent over six non-golfing months in fabulous destinations both out of town and country. I rediscovered my hometown of Chicago, found culinary discoveries (mostly potato...as in spud ice cream) in Slovenia, took a breath-taking bike trip in Croatia along their coastline and wine country, found mystery and intrigue hunting down James Bond in Montenegro (only to find the real Casino Royale is in Bosnia), got an insider view of Acapulco and the best marguerita's in the Baja, and my personal favorite, a month-long adventure in China, Thailand, Hong Kong and Vietnam. It didn't add a pearl of golf wisdom that is worth sharing, but the thousands of blog hits means you missed or stumbled upon us, so we will pick up where we left you. As Kim chronicled for you in our previous blog, this past golf season was a physical challenge to both of us. If you didn't know, you might think we are a couple of broken down ole ladies, but I beg to differ! I am not my MRI! You wouldn't even recognize either one of us from our "inside" self. My doc said, "Patti, you have the MRI of an ex-NFL football player but you'd never know it from looking at you." Geez that was comforting. But he had a point...Even though both Kim and I have a few kinks in our internal armor, it doesn't hold us back. I know I will survive and go on playing golf (and skiing, snowshoeing, hiking, biking, and whatever else my fanatically fit friends invite me to do) until they pry the club and/or ski poles out of my hands! Kim will keep on golfing, volunteering, being a mom, cheerleader to her family and friends, and of course shopping, shopping and shopping (she is going to kill me for this dig) and we will provide you with the best products, fashion, and style know-how to keep the "bling" in your swing.


I'm in Naples Florida this month so I am getting a much needed headstart on my golf game this season from my friends and family in the Mid-West, and particularly those of you who are in my current home state of Utah.  Eat your heart out...it was sunny and 75 degrees when I teed off this morning.


Good Health to You!
