Crazy Kitchen Ladies
Over the next three days, my mom and her trusty sidekick, Kerry, will prepare food for over 550 people. That isn’t unusual for them. They can crank out food more than that old guy from Tennessee who had that cooking show on PBS when I was a kid. I don’t remember his name, but he […]
Gotcha!
We have many events at the golf course. I think my favorite type of event is when we get to seriously surprise someone for their birthday. Our set up is perfect for surprising unsuspecting victims. Even those who are most suspicious. The usual method involves someone in the family asking another family member to play golf. […]

Tasting Till They Drop
A few weeks ago, we hosted our annual tasting for all of our couples who plan to hold their receptions at our place this year. Of all of the events that we host, I think this one requires the most amount of preparation time. Our couples are allowed to request foods that interest them. Each couple […]
Recovering Chairs Revisited
When we last left off our super hero, Jason, was busily removing staples from the backs of the seat cushions preparing to put on new material. While I was having fun in Florida, Jason and Theresa stayed back home to man the fort. It wasn’t because they didn’t want to attend the golf conference, but […]
Chairs. Jason’s Nemesis.
This is a public service announcement. If you’re one of those people who leans back on your chair, so that it’s on its two back legs. Break the habit. Seriously. Your mom will thank me. Businesses and school custodians will thank you. Chairs all over the world will thank you. We have about 250 chairs […]
Back in the Saddle
I have taken about a month of a hiatus in writing blog posts. It definitely didn’t have anything to do with lack of activity around the golf course. Probably because there has been too much activity. Here I am, though, back in the saddle and ready to bring you lots of information about all of […]
I Heart Quinceañeras
My title at the golf course is the Wizard of Fun. When you’re in a family owned business, you get to make up titles. It compensates for the long hours. At least, that’s what I keep telling myself. The Wizard of Fun title best describes my job. I’m in charge of all the fun. I […]
First Wedding of 2013
Our first wedding of 2013 was late this year. That actually worked out well because the weather hasn’t exactly been all that great this year. The only trouble with waiting until late April to get started is that our staff didn’t have much time to dust off whatever skills they had forgotten since last year. […]
