A Devine Day

Every once in awhile we all get to experience one of those marvelous wonderful days, when everything seems to go just right, or it is just a day of unexpected pleasures.  Well yesterday I had such a day... and it was just DEVINE!!!!

I woke early, feeling very refreshed and well rested.  I had my "cuppa" (hot tea like I do every morning) and sat down to my computer to check on my emails, Facebook, and such... and have some Facetime with my Grandson and Daughter.  The morning was just one of those BEAUTIFUL sunshiny mornings, birds chirping, breeze blowing through the trees... one of those mornings where you grab your "cuppa" (coffee or tea) and head outside and sit on the porch to enjoy your morning over your "cuppa"... which is what I also did after Face timing with Lauren and Henry.  Then after I enjoyed my leisurely cuppa tea, I took care of all my house chores, then headed out for a scheduled golf lesson.

I have been playing golf... or I should say... I have known how to play golf for 18 years, and I am still at the 'hit and giggle' stage and don't bother to keep score, because I know I will get the max shots allowed per hole... so why bother keeping score... and... when I go out and play it is usually with my husband, and then I just tee off and pick up and play where his ball is through the hole.  So..... it was a big deal for me to decide to get more serious about my golf.... thus the golf lesson to get fitted for some new clubs.  My current clubs were bought second hand 18 years ago for $100, and are made of real heavy steel!!!  I have no flex in my shaft... so they say!  The newer clubs weigh less than half my current clubs.... plus if you know anything about golf.... I only have 4, 6, 8 (irons) 3 wood, driver, pitching wedge, and putter.... that's it!!!!

Any hooty.... back to my "Devine Day".  After my golf lesson, I decided to work on what the golf pro taught me, and stayed on the practice green to hit 100 golf balls.  After I hit those 100 balls, my forearms were screaming and knotted up tight as an overwound watch!  But... as I was heading back to my car to go home, a couple of ladies I golf with on Tuesday nights were passing me by in a golf cart after just playing the front nine, and asked if I would like to join them on the back nine.  I have NEVER just picked up a random game and gone to play.... so I said "SURE!!!!!"... and I did!  After all those practice shots, I literally had no more energy or umph in my swing... but I could still chip and putt pretty good.  So again... I teed off, and if my shot wasn't very long or good, I would pick up and play where their ball was.  We had such a fun fun fun time that afternoon!  I'm soooooo glad they asked, and sooooo glad I said yes!

After golf, I came home and plopped on the couch for a 1/2 hour to catch my breath.  Then it was back out to run a few errands... got my car filled up with gas, and ran her through the car wash.... then to the grocery to pick up a couple of things for dinner... and back home again, home again, jiggity jig to start dinner.

Joe had prepared a marinated skirt steak on the grill a couple days earlier, so we sliced the left overs up and turned them into fajitas.  And for whatever reason... which again... NEVER happens!!!... Joe decided to join me in the kitchen and we made our meal together... commenting all the while to each other that we need to cook together more often.  It was such fun!  The fajitas were absolutely DELISH!!!!!  I made homemade guacamole and pico de gallo to go with them.... OH MY GOODNESS GOOD!!!

After dinner we took our nightly stroll through our woodsy neighborhood and chatted about all our up coming events and visitors.  The night was as beautiful as the day had been, and the breeze was still just swirling around us... just enough to make it pleasantly refreshing... I forgot to mention that it was still 91 degrees at this time... which was 8:00pm.

That was really all that happened on this particular day.... nothing majorly exciting happened... it was just a day that was beautiful weather wise from dawn to dusk, I worked hard on my chores, I played hard with my new golf lady friends, I enjoyed a simple but delish meal prepared with my husband, we walked and talked and then hit the bed... but the whole day just flowed along like a sweet burbling brook running along side a beautiful meadow.  Basically it was a wonderfully fun and beautiful summer day!!!!

Obviously this blog has no redeeming value to it... other than to just say...  I had a really good day and wanted to share it, in hopes that whoever is reading this blog will say... "OH that reminds me of this "Devine Day" I too once had", and the memories will spark and you will have a nice day from your memories!  This day is in my "Special Day" memory bank for sure!  And the great thing is.... it is only June!!!!  We still have 3 more months of spectacular summer weather to enjoy and create more "Devine Days" with!

Wishing you and yours a Devine Day... today and everyday!
