Tag, I'm It

Vic tagged me so here it is.

How to play this game. Post these rules on your blog; List 3 joys, 3 fears, 3 goals, 3 current obsessions/collections, 3 random surprising facts about yourself. Tag 5 people at the end of your post by leaving their names....

Joy's
Being married....my wife, kids, and grandkids mean more to me than I ever dreamed possible

Golf...playing the game for as long as I can (yes, 24 hours per day if it were possible and until I'm 100 years old)

Making meals that my family can actually eat...so far...that number is 2


Fear's
Golf....shooting over 90 at any time

Snakes and snapping turtles in the water at Forest Lakes....if I'm in the same water

Funerals - I have never been to one

Goal's
Golf - Shooting under 70

Learning to swim so I can have my own fishing boat

Travel the world with Vic...except Italy and Spain...those people drive crazy. Primarily, I want to go to England, Scotland, and Ireland and it wouldn't bother me if I got to play the courses like St. Andrews and Royal Birkdale while we were there

Current Obsession/collection

Golf ball hunting on the course...in the course's ponds. I turn most of them in to help pay my monthly golf dues. I search at least 3 times a week and pick up on an average of 2 to 3 dozen balls each time while wearing my hip-high waders and using my trusty ball retreiver

Cats - everyone knows we have 7 cats...in case you forgot....it's Tibbit, Patches, Garfield, Punkin, Toofi, Snugglepuss, and Hobo. We will not be adding to the collection, but we love them all dearly.

Animal Stones - we had almost all of our felines and canines immortalized on stone and were lucky to do so. Shortly after we began, we lost Bubba and Tigger.










Random Fact's

I've got a shop full of wood working equipment that I don't know how to use, but am anxious to learn....as soon as I can afford the wood and and the cost of getting more power to my shop.

My brother put a knife through my foot while playing chicken...ok, ok....it was 40 years ago, but I've still got the scar!

Much to my family's dismay, I love grilled peanut butter sandwiches (they are all obsessed with cheese), but don't knock my idea until you give it a try (not just a tiny nibble honey)
