#8: Sand, trees and double teradactyls

"They call it GOLF because all the other four-letter words were taken" ~ Unknown

And golf I did during my vacation work trip and the vacation that started as soon as I drove into town and then out an hour later. With this week I marked off 1 entry on the ole' Dirty 30 list.

#8 Golf 3 new courses.....CHECK

Course #1: Billings Par 3 - This course was super fun and pretty quick, I wish we had one in Rock Springs for after work golf outings. All the holes are par 3.......and I didn't get a single par.



Course #2: Thermopolis' Legion Golf Course - A little 9 hole course that I really liked. It has beautiful scenery and the course isn't too tough...I didn't lose a single ball in the water! It was my first time golfing solo and my best round ever. I vacation golf so I had a couple little "cheats" but I golfed a 48!



Course #3: Montpelier Idaho Golf Course - Another little gem 9 hole where I followed up my best round of golf with one of my worst. The course was really pretty and not too hard. If you are ever in Montpelier, Idaho, go here! They are super nice and very accommodating. I do recommend a cart on this course, especially if you play as poorly as I did or maybe because I got so extreme on the lake the day before. Whatever, get a cart, its hot. Music Man, Little Sister and Little Sister's Boyfriend all played.


 

Now in our hurry to get packed up and get to the lake, Little Sister and I both forgot our golf attire. We were a little worried that they wouldn't let us on the course and if they did that we would look like idiots in our basketball shorts and tshirts. Around hole 4 I no longer felt bad about our semi-not appropriate golf attire when I snapped this picture of a guy golfing shirtless....not appropriate golf attire guy! but thanks for making us feel better about forgetting ours!

    Hehe...your basketball shorts were probably too classy for this place! Hilarious! I need you to come give me lessons. It's on my bucket list to play par on ONE hole. Just one.

CARRY! On Monday my phone rang with an unknown number, I don't usually answer these, so I guess since I was really over the place of employment project I was working on I decided "what the hey" "Hello" "Is this Jennifer blah blah blah?" [ah, crap] (see here how I'm protecting my PII) "Yes, it is" "This is the Sheriff's Office, calling to tell you your concealed carry permit is in" "Great!, I'll be out to pick it up today!" And now, I am officially licensed to conceal carry......and put a rush on that Dirty 30 list item to find a pretty gun and a super cool shoulder sling! And yes, PII....that's what working for the federal government will do to your blog.

What i'm loving wednesday: winter

Image
[Linking up with Jamie at  This Kind of Love for What I'm Loving Wednesday!] One kind word can warm three winter months. ~Japanese Proverb I'm LOVING..........Winter I love winter! but I hate shoveling snow. As it snowed around here (finally AND 2 days in a row!), I thought about my hatred for shoveling snow....I think if it were either light before I went to work or after I got home, maybe shoveling wouldn't be so bad. So snow and winter go hand-in-hand, how can I love winter if I don't like shoveling snow?   Playing in it of course! Christmas markets, throwing snowballs, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, sleigh rides, hot tubbing, cabins and fireplaces, hot snock-o-late, big snowflakes, crisp untouched fields blanketed in fresh snow. It's a clean slate and I love it! Have a great winter and enjoy all it has to offer! Here is a picture I took a while back my way home from snowboarding at Beaver Mountain, Utah (a great little ski area btw). This is...

Losing the farm

Image
When I tell people I work for the Farm Service Agency, I either get a knowing nod like "oh you are one of those government employees" or I get a "what do you actually do?". I've started leading off with working for the US Department of Agriculture because most people have actually heard of that that. We are a small agency within USDA that administers the farm subsidy, disaster and some insurance programs of the Farm Bill. The farm bill is made up of 15 different titles addressing different areas. The 15 titles or parts of the Farm Bill are , the ones that are bolded are the only ones that I directly work with through FSA. Commodity - provides income support to growers of select commodities Conservation - provides funding for farm environmental stewardship thought programs that improve management practices, retire less productive land and protect natural resources Agricultural Trade & Food Aid - funds US agriculture export a...
