Here is a younger Brody. I didn't recognize him. He looks like Pat in this picture. That is his dad.
And a tired teacher. It is the last day before Christmas Break or Winter Break as we call it now. The kids were good but wild. Nothing like teacher tired.
Headed to St. George for some golf the day after Christmas. We stay at our friend Ted's nephews Air BnBB. I'm usually not a fan of those, but this one is great. 4 rooms and 4 bathrooms. It was a great price and included the cleaning fee. All of the furniture is from IKEA and I love it.
The first day we Golfed at The Palmer over in Mesquite.
Kent, Sandra, Carey and I golfed together

This is the other group. Ted, Tom, Stewart and Frank
Pass throgh Arizona on your way to Mesquite from St. George
The Palmer is named for Arnold Palmer who designed the course. It was a good course and fun to play. It is kent's favorite course in Mesquite.
Second day we headed back to Mesquite for some golf at Conestoga Golf Club
Took this picture first wearing this
Then I bought this Jacket in the club house and decided I needed a picture in front of the sign with my new Jacket that has Conestoga on the sleeve.
He always does this when I take a Pic. Love the color of this jacket. ) I did get 15 percent off.
Conestoga golf club was a shotgun start since the daylight is so short. We started on hole 4 which is the best and hardest hole. I wasn't prepared for that.
Beautiful Cactus with this cool fruit
We saw a rabbit
Sandra - She is a great golfer. I want to be as good as she is
This cyote is fake. I thought it was real, I'm assuming it was to scare the ducks because they stayed to the other side of the water. I wonder if it was so great, why doesn't all the courses have fake cyotes.

Conestoga was a great course. I liked it better than the Palmer. Fun holes that went over canyons. I would love to play this course again in order so the hardest hole wasn't our first.
The last day we played at Sun River and I didn't get one pic. It was in St George and was just a nice round. I played horrible, but it was fun and a bit easier than the other two.
We would eat at the course before we headed back to the Condo. Around 8:00 or so, we head to the hot tub to rest our aching bodies. Well, the fun ones. Sandra and I hot tubbed every night and Ted only a few times. Kent hot tubbed once. Tom not at all.
The last night in the hot tub we had a meeting and planned another trip in March.
Can't wait. I need to make sure I have some new golf wear and a new swimsuit.
Started the day at the Hotworx. Early. 6:45 am. I have my preworkout ready to go. Great start to the day. I even changed shirts so no one would accuse me of using the same hotworx photo...:)
Got the stockings out. It is weird to only be getting out 4. These are thanks to Melanie. Inherited them when she died. Not sure how I did that, but I got them. Love them. Everyone has their favorite drink.
Gifts
The lovely fake tree
Andrew put up yesterday. It is difficult to take pics due to the light.
Nick drinking Brooke's Starbucks drink...He likes to drink other people's drinks. He stole my great McDonalds Coke the other day...oh mom this is soo good he says. And that Monster, is the one he got Grandma to buy at Costco. A CASE not just one.
We talked to Jack. He called us and opened his presents with us. He had to go because he needed to get Breakfast. He was having a hangout at the church.
Ton got a vest. It is too big. I have NO idea what size to buy for a Dog. He is so fat, that I decided he is an XL. Well, we found out the skinny thing is only a Large. Sorry Ton!
The beauty is look at Brooke, she has a matching vest with the Ton. So cute. Can't wait to go walking with them in their matching vests.
Exchanged the vest in this one
Ton sporting his nicely fitting Large vest. Of course he isn't an XL
Andrew got some Magic Cards from the Ty. They are into Magic now. They are going to get matching shirts for their Magic game night. I think it is great.
I got a Terralynne Gift card(my favorite gift) , some no show socks from Lulu - the best and some licorish, Alani in two flavors I have never tried, and Oreo Mint cookies that are the best.
This is what I sent to Abi and Brody. Hey maybe they would like a terrarium...
After we opened presents, we headed to the Golden Ginger. Well, Andrew and the Ty did. Andrew said he would pay if he could drive my car. Ok sounds good.
It was a fantastic dinner and I didn't get any pics of it. But the best. General Tao's chicken for most, Curry chicken for Jim and Yakisoba noodles for me. The Ginger never disappoints. I could find an old pic of the Ginger if I tried.
Brooke and Ty went to his parents house and Andrew and I went on a drive to the Maverick and looked at some Christmas lights. Then we came home and he left and I watched the Grinch. Nick was watching football and Stranger Things.
Ty wanted to watch the Gift of the Magi with Earnie and Burt that we watched last year and I forgot. It is such a great movie. Love it. We should watch it every year.
Ended the day taking a bath with muscle soak bath salts that Abi sent me for my birthday. They were fablous.
Christmas 2025 in the books. Great Christmas and wish all the honeys could have been here. Love to all.
