Mandi, Paula and I visited the Union Country Club in Dover the last night Mandi was in town....Tuesday. It was very nice. Unfortunately the girl who could anwser all our questions was not able to attend our meeting. We did get a few questions answered and got to see the facility. It is bigger than Lakeside and we all agreed it had its pluses. Yesterday, Paula called to report that when comparing the two places, the club was quite a bit cheaper with more to offer. Soooo....it is now up to Mandi and Jeremy to decide. The girl said that the ceremony could take place on their patio or they could use the gazebo in the garden at Warther's. I called Linderlou to ask about it since she was a Warther. Nice to have friends in the right places...lol. The only problem with the club is that the date they had chosen 7/9/11 is the day of the clubs biggest golf outing...wouldn't you know it! So if they choose to go with the club, it will have to be the weekend before or after this date. We pretty much decided that this summer is not a good idea since Jeremy may be getting a head pro position somewhere which would require them to move. I also think Mandi will feel that she has more time to plan details if she has this summer to do that.
Pat and I will spend a quiet New Year's Eve. Oh, the first of the three litters of puppies have been born. Shingleoak.com is the web site if you care to check them out. Of the 5 pups born, 4 were boys and only 1 girl.We will be getting a girl this time. Anxiously awaiting the arrival of the other litters. One of the dogs due yet is Brody's mom and I would love to have another one of her pups since I love his disposition and personality.
Happy New Year to all

UPDATE:the official date has been set. July 16, 2011 reception at Dover County Club. Not sure of the time yet or place for ceremony. More to come :)
