Greatest Game Ever Played

An incredible, but true, underdog story about a twenty year old amateur named Francis Ouimet and his ten year old caddie named Eddie Lowery at the 1913 U.S. Open. This poster was created using a real image of the two walking up one of the fairways at the 1913 U.S. Open. The image was selected as the logo for the USGA 's Centennial celebration.

"Mr." Ouimet won that Open beating Harry Vardon, whom many consider to be the greatest British golfer in history even today, in a playoff.

Ouimet and Lowery's stories were only beginning and are incredible in themselves.

Link to Francis Ouimet's story with links to all the other players found at this site. Please follow it and learn more about these incredible men.

All this was kick started by the Disney Movie called The Greatest Game Ever Played starring Shia LeBeouf of Even Stevens fame. Shia did a great job in this movie. The movie was is a good one to watch if you did not. Inspiring.


Well with all the rain stopping for a few days then I might be able to get the lawn mowed and the gutters clean. We will see how the weekend goes.

Gwen got in Colorado, thru Ebay, Elizabeth a cool car bed for when she no longer need the crib. Meaning when she no longer can be contained by her crib. Until then we do not need her coming to wake us up when she gets up. :) We will have to post a picture of the bed. Elizabeth loves it.

Emily had Emma Schmidt over for a sleepover and the two had a good time. Went swimming the next day. Tali will be coming over for a sleepover next Friday while Ruth and Rich are on a cruise to Alaska.

The girls can now go get their favorite cinnamon rolls again. After their friend Sam who owned Cafe Alegra closed shop they could not get those cinnamon rolls anymore. When Bryan and Patty Booth (of Coffee Booth fame) opened up a cafe on DP road Gwen asked Bryan to see if he could get the cinnamon rolls. Sure enough they serve breakfast and Bryan was able to get the cinnamon rolls.

The Booths are also going to try to serve Hot Meals for the LA school system. This is good news for Emily since she likes to eat hot food at school and they will try serve a Hot Meal every day at the schools. Good news for us since we run out of things to send her that are hot and will stay hot. Right now the Booths have contracts with three or four schools and are working on more. This will keep them busy. Bryan will not have time for working on cars anymore....we will have to find a new mechanic for our cars.

School starts this coming Wednesday the 16th. Hard to believe Emily is in third grade.

It is going to be a busy week coming up.
