My grandson, Sam Jacks (early twenties) did something last month that we are all kinda proud of. He had two 69 back to back golf rounds in a PGA qualifying event that now classifies him as a pro. "I asked him, "What does this mean?" He told me that now he can now get a job as a pro on a golf course. "But, can't you go on with PGA and play tournaments?" I asked. "And where am I going to get that kind of money?" he replied.
So I don't guess I am going to get to be the grandmother of a famous golfer. But I am the grandmother of a super grandson. He has a good heart. But I think he will have to find a second job to have enough money to buy a bean or two. (He has asked Tiffany to marry him. She said yes!!)
His dad, Scott, got to OU on a baseball scholarship, but tore his shoulder and knee up and squashed his pro-dreams. He should probably have gone on to the minor leagues when they drafted him. But, I'm glad he didn't. It isn't much of a life. He went to the Marines (like his father) after he graduated from college. Some of you probably think that that isn't much of a life either. But I love the Marines. They are some of the finest young men I have ever known. I would marry one all over again.
My house in Pryor still hasn't sold. I am totally befuddled. So are the realtors. Tomorrow, I am going to go there and take a look. I've hired a woman to keep it clean. I've hired a man to mow. Scott checks on it. God must have someone in mind to buy it that doesn't have the money yet??
My grand-daughter-in-law is in the middle east for three months in a God forsaken place where she has to wear a burka. She has a fabulous job--but. And of course, Becky--my traveler--is going to see her. That will give me something to worry about.
Ken and I never thought about all the people that would be involved in our lives back in 1956 when we got married. Children, grand-children, great-grandchildren, in-laws, out laws and whatever else. They certainly enliven my life. I never know what they will do next.
Janie, thank you for thinking of me and for raising a fearless daughter to come visit. We'll have fun. I had dinner with a Marine and a British, female pilot tonight. She is currently flying around the world. It was fun listening to their flying adventures and call name stories. I look forward to reading your blog everyday!
