We've Got Mail!

This email from Steve arrived tonight:

Steve writes: Virg and Steve, trying to keep up with Stan and Kathleen, but not having the talent for interior decorating, instead added the following plantings to the landscape--Pink Breath of Heaven, Sago Palm, Marguerite, Gardenia, and Rosemary.

To make sure that they got it right, the "Sage of Saddlebrooke" aka Leno Masolini (see photo at right) instructs Steve in the proper planting of a Sago Palm.

New pool, party
By the way, Leno and his bride, Carolyn, celebrated their 50th Wedding Anniversary over the weekend. Their family gave them a new swimming pool for a wedding anniversary gift. Party at Masolinis--bring your boom box--everybody in the pool.

Over the past five days, Rod Meyer, Steve Kleinschmidt, Virg and Steve played Arizona National in Sabino Springs, The Pines in Marana, del Lago in Vail, Crooked Tree in Tucson and Francisco Grande in Casa Grande. Steve K., the precise one, thought that it would be fitting to end his 90 holes of golf with an on-in-regulation par four--so that is exactly what he did, as well as take some beautiful pictures of the environs shown in this blog.

Rod "The Rocket" Meyer steadily banged out exceedingly long drives--and wore bermuda shorts every waking minute of every day--including the flight back to Minneapolis, apparently hoping to bring along the sunny weather.

Virg, of course, shot low gross every day, with Steve R., who is undoubtedly saving his best golf for later in life, serving as the humble, hospitable host.

PICTURES TO COME SHORTLY--I HOPE.
