Another sunny and hot weekend in Southern Florida complete with afternoon showers. I have learned to get outside and play golf early in the day for two reasons: 1) It’s cooler in the morning and 2) It rains every afternoon!
Saturday a friend from work and I motored down to Ft. Lauderdale. Pam had never been to Ikea so we decided to go there for breakfast and shopping. On our way back, we drove A1A along the coast from Ft. Lauderdale to Lake Worth. By the time we got back mid-afternoon, the rain and lightening moved in.
We decided to go out to dinner at Smokey Bones and five minutes after we got there, the lights went out. Once they came back on, we were asked by the management to evacuate the building as they saw smoke and had called the fire department. (Good thing the place wasn’t burning down since the fire department arrived 15 minutes later.) Turned out it was a light fixture that shorted and smoked, but it closed the restaurant for a few hours—so we went elsewhere for dinner. Gives new meaning to the name Smokey Bones!
Sunday I played the Champ course in the morning and just as we finished the rain, lightening and thunder arrived. Makes it hard to keep the car clean with rain every day!
I’m off to Minnesota next weekend for ten days at home and I am looking forward to attending the US Women’s Open! More from Minnesota…
