Love at 1st Site
It seems like yesterday that I
was running around, acting
like a crazy teenager, partying
and having fun. Oh yeah, excuse
me…that was esterday, but
I’m a mature grandmother now;
and it is the most natural love
I’ve ever felt. My beautiful daughter
Tonyia had a baby boy and I
fell in love instantly, crying and in
awe of his need for my daughter’s
affection.
Tyler Christopher Fulghum was
born July 18th at 6:05 PM weighing
in at 7lbs 13oz and 19” long with
a full head of auburnish hair, and
little baby ears, thank goodness.
I was there in Greenville, NC awaiting his arrival for two weeks and a day,
and even with all the anticipation had a very tranquil bonding time with my
|
daughter. She said it probably was the best quality time we spent since she
had left home. It was the most amazing heart-warming experience I’ve ever
felt I will never forget the overwhelming emotions; only loving grandparents
can truly relate.
You may see a North Carolina Golf Central soon, (just kiddin’ Shannon).
Enough of that nonsense, I always hope that our reading audience appreciates
me sharing my personal experiences (I actually have had positive
feed back). None-the-less we try hard to cover a variety of golf events and
functions as well as some that just revolve around the golf lifestyle.
Feeling better having that disclaimer, I was invited to Cooperstown, NY
for the Baseball Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony. It was my fourth visit to
Cooperstown and I will have to admit that in all my travels it is one of the
most “Mayberry RFD” kinda’ places I’ve ever embarked on. It is quaint, small
town charm, meets FuFu resort and traditional Main Street ambience all in
one. They call it The Village of Cooperstown. My boyfriend Keith Kraham lives
on the fifth green at the Leatherstocking Golf Course at the historic Otesaga
Resort. It sits on the bank of the pristine Otsego Lake and we played the
course Friday before Hall Of Fame weekend and, of course, were stalked like
celebrities (thanks to Keith’s striking good looks and jock like build) by the
baseball fans trying to catch a glimpse of their favorite players. Later, down
on Main Street, we had a bite at Doubleday Café and spotted a couple of
fun lovin’ souls sitting on one of the many benches on the tree lined blvd.
We made a move to go chat with these gents, sports agent Tim O’Neil and
famous third baseman Graig Nettles. Keith, being a local, suggested we head
over to his friend “CB’S Cooley’s Pub for some adult beverages. This is where
we ran into one of the all time great relief pitchers Goose Gossage. He was in
town signing autographs and jumped behind the bar to pour brewskies.
Well… the rumor is he will be in The Hall next year. He has my vote!
See you there!
