A Narrow Escape

We had some crazy weather here in NH on Friday night. Severe thunderstorms paired with winds at 55+ mph didn’t mix well with the repairs being made to Portsmouth’s North Church Steeple. The entire steeple and the scaffolding came crashing down at about 6pm. No one was injured and my car narrowly escaped being completely totaled. Check out the video on this newscast. My car is BEHIND the Jeep that was ruined and next to the black truck.

This Old House… is MINE!

Hello All,

I thought I’d drop a quick note to let everyone know (if my mom hasn’t already) that I recently purchased my first home. Unfortunately, I don’t have a digital camera otherwise I’d post a picture. I may be able to send one to Gary or Larry to post by emailing from my cell phone. I never seem to have much luck with the picture posting thing. The best part, however, is that my new address is as follows:

Shannon Hill
31 Hill Street
Dover, NH 03820

How about that!

Eagles

I know, where have I been? So I haven’t been on the blog in a while. Sorry, not my thing.

Anyway, to catch up. I have had many eagles, but only 2 full shots into the hole and neither of them did I see go in the hole. The first was #10 at Chalet Hills where the green is elevated and no way you can see the ball go in the hole. I believe it was 150 yards uphill with a 7 iron. The other was #1 at Old Orchard CC in my league. I stiffed an 8 iron just past the hole. It backed up slightly and stopped a couple inches from the hole, or so I thought. I turned and put my club in my bag, turned back around and the ball was gone. It had been sitting on the lip and dropped when I turned my back.

As you may or may not know I am back in possession of the shirt. I kicked Ron’s ass (low net for all 6 rounds at Battle Creek). Wally and Ron tied for 2nd after Saturdar’d 36 holes and Ron won the tiebreaker to play the 18 hole match play Sunday. I believe the final was 5 and 4.

Last night was our graduation party for Nick. Most of the local family attended. It was a good time. Nick will be going to Harper for at least a year. Will see after that what he wants to do.

Since it’s been so long since I’ve been on here I did want to send a picture of the course we played in Nevada. Unbelievable course. I haven’t added any pictures before so here goes nothing…
Forget the pictures. Don’t know what happened to my disc.

Larry, hope your knee doesn’t become too much of a problem. I did have my knee scoped once and played golf about 10 days later. No big deal. Good luck.

Well, goodbye everyone. I’ll be back soon. Maybe I can get some pictures of the graduation party together.
