Henry is having a great day on the Canongate course playing in Heron Bay’s first Charity Golf Tournament.

Henry the Heron, here, and am I ever in love with this place! Spalding and I just had a great day on the Canongate course playing in Heron Bay’s first Charity Golf Tournament. I don’t know if you were able to make it or not, but it was as hot as it can get in Henry County. The golf balls were hot, too, except a couple here and there that landed in the water hazards. Spalding was more than happy to get them out for us and catch a couple of frogs while he was at it.

I came close to winning a Mercury Mariner in the Hole in One contest. Too bad close only counts in horseshoes. I did win something in the charity raffle. Some of the money raised went to the American Heart Association, and some with to Locust Grove: A Better home Town, Inc.

The best part for me, though, was getting to know my neighbors. Construction is moving along on our house, and I am just flapping to get out here full time!

Okay…I’m a little embarrassed. I dropped by the Lodge this morning to visit with Heron Bay Community Association Event Coordinator Carla Cooper. She was going through photos of last weekend’s luau, and found one of me. There must have been 400 people there, but I was definitely the bird brain who stood out in the crowd.

The luau was at the aquatic center, one of my favorite places at Heron Bay. Haley likes the mushroom-shaped waterfalls in all their different colors, but Spalding likes the spiraling waterfalls at the plunge pool. Helen prefers the water lounge areas. I just like the fact that we can all have a great time there together!
