Somehow, I got very confused and wrote two entries for Thursday. Since I added some new info the second time, I will keep them both!
Thursday, February 10 was a designated as the golf day for our visit. Daddy and Tommy left fairly early for their tee time out at Hickam. I played on my iPad, wrote postcards, and waited for Barbara's various appointments ( sofa cleaning, new drapes, and bathtub refinishers) to show. None of them did so she called everyone, gave them a piece of her mind, and rescheduled! Then she and I left for Ward Warehouse, our traditional shopping heaven! We had a really good time and I got lots of souvenirs bought!
Daddy and Tom did not have as much fun on the golf course as we did shopping. Both of them were having an off game and then Daddy managed to injure his left hand. He had new grips on his clubs and, while swinging, he hit the ground before he hit the ball. The grip tore a huge hole in his palm. Luckily, they were playing with a third year medical student, who was just finishing an OB/GYN rotation in Hawaii. He had decided to play golf on his last afternoon in the islands before heading home to New Jersey. Between the vet and the doctor-to-be, the bleeding was stopped and the hand was wrapped. (This medical student is a West Point graduate; Tommy and Grandpa had been very impressed with him, even before he had to put his first aid training to use!) I avoided Daddy's bandaged hand in this picture of him in his back-to-back state champs shirt!
