"artful dodger" and golf day


Hurricane Omar blew past the east end of the island during the night. Omar didn't exactly "peter out" as our friend Cotterpin suggested in a comment; he become a raging category 3 storm in the process. But we got nothing out of it - a little wind early in the evening and stronger morning winds than we're used to but nothing out of the ordinary. And no rain. We battened down for the possibility of floods and got less than 1/2 inch. We're not complaining, mind you.

So, today when we expected to be picking up the pieces of our lives (literally), we instead got to watch a young Scottish European golf champion and her family, along with our golf course friends, Stanley, Charlie, and David, play and enjoy the fabulous holes that are completed at Royal Isabela Golf Course. It was a spectacular day and Elaine and I both enjoyed being the paparazzi for Querida (a 13-year-old champion), her father James, mother Elaine, Aunt Mary, and Uncle George as they played 9 holes on beautiful fairways and greens overlooking a spectacular ocean.
