Back again with another great day!
After spending a 2nd night at Tom's sisters, we headed back to the first day of the Fedex Tournament with a fresh loaf of zucchini and blueberry bread.
When we arrived at the tournament, Tom grabbed the camera and we headed to the bus to take us to the course.  When we went to get on, Tom was told that cameras were not allowed but cell phones were. Back to the car to leave the camera. It was still a little chilly so Alice grabbed her fleece to keep warm.
Once at the course, Alice decided that her fleece was not needed so we left it at the Birdies for the Brave hospitality tent.  We then went to the 18th hole, Mickelson's 9th of the day just in time to see him birdie the hole. We then headed over the front side to continue to watch Phil's round.  When Phil was walking down the 2nd fairway, close enough to us, Tom said to Phil "Light it up Phil" to which he gave the thumbs up and then Tom said, "Brady isn't the only story in town" and Tom got a smile and a 2nd thumbs up.  Phil then birdied the hole and again on his 13th hole.

When the round was finished, we decided to head down the road with the next planned stop to see a high school friend in CT. Before we left, we had to go back to the Birdies for the Brave tent and pick up her fleece and grab some water.  When we got there, they were just unpacking the Fedex Cup trophy so we got the opportunity to grab a cell phone picture.

Here is Grammie with her first place trophy for her "Best Quilt Design".

Actually this is the Fedex Cup Trophy which was making it's way around the hospitality tents.  Just think, no fleece this morning and we wouldn't have had this opportunity.

A bit down the road and we stopped for a quick visit to see some friends in North Attleboro. Jerry and Lea showed us some pictures of the Canyonlands that we  eventually hope to see.

The green River in the Canyonlands.

A short way from their house is a place that our kids have visited before.

After a short visit in NA, we continued into Connecticut where we met some other friends, one who was Tom's high school classmate.  We stayed there for the evening and got to update each other with goings on in our lives.  They bought a wonderful older house and over the last 2 years have made some functional changes but have kept the house substantially the same.  Having grown up in older houses, we miss what they had for great living spaces.  One of our grandchildren will appreciate their choice of decor.

Tomorrow,on the road again.
