The boys did so good!!!

This isn't really a stitching post, rather a proud moment post...

At the recent Junior College Golf National Finals in Chautauqua NY,
 the Sandhills Community College golf team along with MY SON came in fifth in the US!!~~~  How awesome is that??? With only thirteen teams even qualifying, I told them if they came in dead last, it was still an honor to get to be there..... 

We are all so proud of them and their outstanding accomplishments!!

Phillip is second from the right...






Western NY is just beautiful this time of year.,..I even wore a sweatshirt one morning on the course...

While my DH and I were there, we managed to hit a couple tourist spots up in
 Buffalo and Niagra Falls ...
What is going to Buffalo NY without going to the Anchor Bar "Home of Buffalo Wings"?
Their roof proudly displays the ad....




And, of course Niagra Falls was a picturesque as always...





In parting, I will show you a few of the many, many beautiful lake homes at Chautauqua..Perfect for weddings, reunions or just a slow easy day by a beautifully scenic lake.......





Truly a wonderful way to celebrate our 31st anniversary along with supporting our youngest son..

Happy Stitching from North Carolina,

Faye

Loved seeing the photos of the falls and the Buffalo wings. I was born and spent the first five years of my life in Buffalo, so weekend trips to the falls were a huge part of my growing up years :)
