Happy Sunday everybody. No rain today, but lots of breezes and chillish temperatures. We celebrated Jody's birthday today, his actual birthday is tomorrow, but tomorrow is Monday, and, well, you know. So, we had a great time, lots of friends and family (the families you make, not the families you are born in to, necessarily), and it was a lot of fun. I totally recommend the Central Texas Olive Ranch, just east of Walburg. There could not be a nicer venue or bunch of people than these. This is a group photo of us, minus Jim and Rene who had to leave early to make another gathering. Lots of niceness out here on the Edge of Nowhere. The question is, where's Norm? Enjoy!Links -- Noun. 1. Scottish: sand hills especially along the seashore. 2. golf course. I met up with my brother and his friends on the links for a round of golf.
Did You Know? The game of golf originated on the sandy hills of Scotland, on a type of terrain known as links or linksland. Eventually, links developed the meaning of "a golf course built on the coastline," which eventually broadened to include any golf course. Links is derived from the Old English word hlincas (the plural of hlinc, meaning "ridge"). Recorded evidence of hlinces (a variant of hlincas) goes back as far as 931, but links in English only to the 15th century. Britain has a number of old-fashioned links courses (built to resemble the Scottish landscape and located on the coastline), and there are a few in the United States.
