Wednesday was a wonderful weather day in Ormond/Orlando, sunny, high 70's with a light breeze, a great day for golf. Helene and I with Brother John, Bernice and Alain Cote headed off early to the Arnold Palmer Bay Hill Invitational PGA golf tournament. Upon our arrival we were parked on property adjacent to the golf course. The golf grounds are immaculate. They call it Arnie's tournament because he owns, designed the golf course and was instrumental in the development around the area. It was a special day to see all these PGA stars up close and personal. They played a PRO/AM and then proceeded to the driving range, chipping area and spent as much time on the putting green. They are committed which accounts for their talents.

There is a BIG BIRTHDAY happening on the West Coast of Florida, Indian Rocks Beach to be exact. If my records are correct we can say HAPPY BIRTHDAY CAPTAIN HOT SHOT GERRY MCGUIRE. We hope you have a great day.
We have 6 more days before we head North back to Ottawa. The weather here is going to start getting warmer. It is expected to reach 90 degrees on Sunday, much too warm for me, though with a breeze it just might be nice. There has been a breeze off the ocean every day. it doesn't take long for the flowers to get into bloom here...it is like over night....there is color everywhere...on the ground and on the trees.
We had an awesome day yesterday at the Pro-Am Invitational at Bay Hill in Orlando. My dream was to see Tiger Woods and that I did on the 14th hole, 17th & 18th. We saw many great golfers, including two Canadians, Mike Weir & Stephen Ames. At mid-day out came Arnold Palmer to tee off and who was golfing with him, a famous hockey name, Bobby Orr. I have to say some of the amateurs made shots as good as the pros… amazing to watch.
We are expecting friends from Saint John, NB, to arrive today. We are looking forward to having Vonnie & Albert staying with us for a couple of days, as they are traveling throughout Florida.
Uncle Harry is Tucson, visiting with Amy & Maya. I am sure he is enjoying the warm weather there. By the time he gets back to Ottawa it will have warmed up some.
Nick & Charmaine should be heading for Orlando International Airport to catch their flight home this morning. They should be in Ottawa early this afternoon. Hope you have a good
trip.

We continue to have Debbie in our thoughts and prayers as she continues to struggle with cancer. She is in the hospital and very comfortable, she does not seem to experience any pain. They continue to give her morphine every four hours as this does help with her breathing. There is some consideration that she might be moved to the May Court Hospice, as it is more a home environment than the hospital. God bless Debbie and her family.
Today's pictures are from yesterday's most excellent adventure. tickets, Arnold Palmer, Bobby Orr, Tiger Woods, Fred Couples, Mike Weir, Stephen Ames and Patrig Harrington.

Hi Helene,
It is not my birthday. I am a Virgo. Great photos on the blog. We went to see the pros a few years ago at Bay Hill, great course. We followed Tiger around for a few holes.
But it is not as tough as the course Pete and I played yesterday at Cooperhead where the pros played last week. We had a great time.
Captain Hot Shot
You must have been like a kid in a candy store! That's pretty neat you got to be that close!
Gerry McG just a very,very early birthday for Sept 13th. Gerry F in Cape Breton doesn't have a computer but I hope he had a nice day. So excited to see Tiger Woods, what can I say.
Shells Bells wait till I get John's pictures to see how close we were. We really had a fun day.
