The Doolitle Non-Scramble

The Doolittle Scramble was a non-scramble for Team Gleason. It is quite fitting that the first few pictures I took are very blurry. It is just how the whole morning went. So the Doolittle Scramble! Gotta get up early and get ready! We have to be at church early to usher and then I can leave right from church and go to the scramble. Weather isn't looking very good. Cindy decided she would go to church with us. I felt a bad that I didn't personally invite Cindy and Marianne to come to church before the scramble! What was I thinking? Shelly was already there. Anyway, I am waiting in the front of the house in my car for Cindy to drive up and follow me to church. She was only a couple of minutes late but I called her and she was just about to my house. Mike had already left to usher so were covered. Church starts at 10:15 and we would be there by 10:00. I could get a little ushering in. As we drove up I thought it was pretty crowded in the parking lot for a 10:15 service. The schedule had just changed for the summer. AHHHH! I had the time wrong. It started at 10:00. They had grabbed someone to usher for us thankfully! We found Mike and sat down. About 1/2 way through the service I thought OH NO. I forgot my golf shoes. Cindy and I crawled out of the pew and went to retrieve them at my house. Cindy really needs to come to church another time when we get there before it starts and we stay through the whole service! :-) Anyway, we walk out of church and the rain was coming down!!! What do we do? We got my shoes and then headed to the golf course. We met up with Marianne in the parking lot. None of us really wanted to golf. Everyone else in the scramble was still golfing.
Really? Are they all nuts? I pulled the... I am over 50 and I don't have to do anything I don't want to do... card! We were missing Shelly and so we decided we would wait for her to make the final decision. We looked and looked for her. No Shelly. I called her cell and it was Joe on the message. I guess I don't have the right cell number. What now? I called her hubby and asked if she had decided to leave because of the rain. No she is at Hangman waiting! The scramble is at Indian Canyon. Shelly had gone to the wrong course. Jim, her husband, said he would get in touch with her. Cindy, Marianne and I decided not to golf and to make lemonade out of lemons. We were going out to lunch. Great idea. The pictures below show the frustration we felt when we drove up to the place we decided to go eat and it was closed. Blurry and all! Let us in!!!!

So we drove north to the Onion! Good food there. Cindy got her bison burger and it was raw. R A W! She sent it back and asked for chips to munch on while she waited for a new burger. They were so stale!!!! We were still smiling though! We enjoyed our lunch and the time together and laughed about the morning! This golf tournament wasn't meant to be for us.
I headed back to the golf course to watch the teams finish. It did stop raining half way through the scramble and everyone had a great time! I personally do not regret my decision not to golf one bit! I was nice and comfy and dry waiting in the clubhouse. This golf course is absolutely gorgeous!




Keri got a cake to celebrate Father's Day!!!
Look at this group of lovely people!
Megan and Katie in the matching shirts! Beauties as always. Love these girls!
Dawn and Dave survived the rain and their first tournament as a married couple. :-)
Aunt Katie grabbed Easton and would not let anyone have him. She was the favorite Aunt at this point because she had cake!
Does he look like he has had a little too much cake?
Ryland was also part of the after golf festivities!

Mike showed up after the golf too!
Katie won the longest drive. She was a driving fool at the scramble from what I hear! Congrats to Katie!
And who were the big winners this year? Mark got to keep that visor in his hand because team Doolittle took back their crown this year.
Congratulations to Team Doolittle and Team Gleason will be back next year (if it isn't pouring rain)!

A Note From Shelly...the team member that was at the wrong golf course.

From my perspective, .. LOL
I get to hangman...wrong course. I don't see anyone there, I ask the guy at the desk if Jackie has checked in...he said no Gleasons here. I realize I am at the wrong course, I dont have my cell phone, so I can't call anyone to figure out where I am supposed to be. Walking back to the car, I slip in the mud...try to get up, slip again...oh what a mess. I got home to Jim saying I have good news and bad news.
Sorry about the mix up all...boy what a bad day. I sure hope I get a chance to make it right next year.
