Good morning everyone. Yesterday was a day of mixed weather. It was raining most of the day with very high winds. Last night or early this morning high winds went through a neighborhood close to us causing a lot of damage. Homes with roofs blown off and trees down, no reports of any injuries.
Well I don't know if we have any Tiger Woods fans out there, but after an eleven year drought he won the Masters' Tournament yesterday. Personally I was glad to see him make a comeback. We all make mistakes in our lives and he certainly did, but now he has a chance to show he is a better man who has learned from his mistakes. Great tournament Tiger.
Yesterday brought back memories of my youth and having met such golfers as Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicolson, Gary Player, Sam Snead. When we had the Lincoln Mercury dealership in Augusta, Georgia we would loan cars to the golfer for the week of the Masters. They depended on us to have their cars ready and at the airport. Sometimes we would have trouble getting the cars in prepped, clean and the keys at the front desk on time. However we did manage to keep everyone happy. But there were those who would leave the cars somewhere in Augusta and we would have to find them. With the help of the city police and the sheriff's department we would get them all back.
Arnold Palmer would always return his loaner car to the dealership and we would take him to the airport. I look at the 72 Lincoln setting in the garage and think that's the car Arnold drove in 1972 during the Masters. I look at the letter he wrote thanking me for loaning him the car and saying he was glad I got it back.
Okay I need to get moving so I will close for now wishing everyone a blessed day. Be sure to give the fur babies a hug for me and be sure to tell someone you love them.
