Don’t get LEFT out

Saturday, July 25th 2020 started like most days in the greater Nisswa area.  It started  with golf ⛳️!!! Today the 4-ball would consist of LB, TB, Kari and I.  That is a lot of golf for the doctor so we well see how it goes. 

Well here is how it went.....left into the s&$@ all day long.  Left of the tee, left in the fairway, left from the fringe, HELL I think I even putted on left into the woods. On the flip side for every ball I hit in the woods I think I found 2 so that is a thing.

TB kept it light and made a truck load of 1-putts.  LB missed a hole in one on 18 (9 Lakes) by about 3 feet.  Kari started slow but was banging it around pretty good in the end.  It didn’t rain, nobody fell in a pond and we had a ton of laughs

TB finished with a wad of cash.  I finished with the need to have 3-8 Coors Lights.

While we were golfing he girls went into Nisswa to get......waffles!!!!  If you said Coronavirus then shame on you.

Waffles 🧇 waffles 🧇!!!!

Once we got back to the cabin it was pontoon time.  Food and Beer were packed. Inflatable rosé bottles, donuts and watermelons were collected and we were off.  We cruised the Gull Lake chain.

We cruised from Roy to Spider to Upper Gull to Gull Lake.

Along the way we stopped and saw one of our old neighbors Jeff and Lori Iverson.  We tied up on the dock and chatted for quite awhile. After cruising in the pontoon we headed  to Nisswa Lake for a little floaty swim time.

Loon. 

I love the old Texaco sign.

Zorba’s Gull Lake, you could almost feel the COVID-19 coming from it. 

When he isn’t the mayor, he is the captain. Which made me Gilligan on this three hour tour.  No one was injured.  We tied up at Iverson’s without wrecking their dock and we successfully filled up the pontoon at the Narrow Straights Lodge.

After the boat we showered, practiced our chipping (TB and EB), read and stared blindly at the wall wondering why golf is so hard.

Finally we decided to order dinner from the famous Rafferty’s Pizza

The pizza didn’t stand a chance.

After dinner it was books and games.  We ended up playing some Scattergories.  It was pretty impressive that at least a few times everyone had there own unique answers.  Finally everyone decide to head for bed.  A great weekend with family and friends was had by all.

In the end we live in uncertain times but what we do have is our family and friends.  Which is enough for me.  Not sure when our next adventure will be but when we do I will let you know.
