Golf Widow


My husband David belongs to a golf league that begins each April
and continues until almost November.  David and his golf partner
Wayne, meet each Thursday after work with other guys and play
at a golf club here in town.  Now that makes me a golf widow
every Thursday night.  Do I mind?  Not at all!




It's my night to do as I please.  So I make it a girly, relaxing type of
an evening.  This afternoon I picked a few flowering branches and 
put them in a crystal vase.  I draped a table cloth over a TV stand, 
and made a setting of some of my favorite plates, stemware and
flatware.




I always serve myself something I love.  Tonight it will be pan seared scallops,
a baked yam and some steamed broccoli with a glass of my favorite red wine.




I will take a bubble bath, get into a comfy robe and slippers ...





and watch season 2 of the Mary Tyler Moore Show.
I may be a golf widow, but I am enjoying my "just for me" time.
I wonder what I will do next week???

Happily Joining ~


Bentley likes being a golf puppy too because he gets 
a little extra spoiling.  He will be having lamb and rice a
any baked yam and broccoli and lots of cuddles!

Big Hugs,
Susan and Bentley

  1. Sounds like the perfect evening. I love the flowering branches you brought in. The colour is amazing and they look beautiful in that vase. We don't have any flowers yet and tomorrow it is calling for snow. Can you imagine having snow this late? It is so annoying and confusing for our poor birds and wildlife. Hopefully it will be the last of it. Enjoy your evening. It all sounds wonderful right down to the wine. Tell Bentley Kane loves yams, too. Hugs, Deb

  8. You just make everything look so beautiful, Susan, right down to the TV tray! Love the dishes, so beautiful - and love that cabinet in the background! Enjoy your Thursday evenings alone with Bentley and MTM (Oh I dearly love that girl ... just finished reading Rhoda's biography ("I, Rhoda") and it provided lots of great insights into our girl Mary, too. Big hugs to you and Bentley ~ Mary

  10. Sounds like a perfect evening, Susan. A little "just for me" time is what we all need. Fun to see more of your home. I'm scanning those bookshelves and see lots of fun things ~ like those miniatures.....and is that a little fox to the side on the second shelf? Pretty cute!

  13. I'm in the same boat with you, Susan and Bentley. I need to make my golf widow times more special. I have a beautiful tub I never get use! I have tried to take an interest in golf as we live on a wonderful golf course but I just am not interested. I would rather craft than golf.Your evening sounds wonderful!

  22. What a lovely way to spend the evening! I am amazed that you make such a nice dinner for yourself because I do "lazy food" when the hubby is away. Give Bentley some snuggles from Chloe and I!

  23. Susan, you sound just like me. On my widow days, I do EXACTLY the same thing, right down to my favourite glass of wine, bubble bath, yummy food and candle light. I enjoy my me nights. Chico enjoys my me nights too. Now that he's a little older, I give him a little cheese and tiny bites now and them. Oh I wish I lived next door. We could have widow nights together ;-)
