Lindenwood Golf Club – Canonsburg, PA
On Monday, day 18, I drove 410 miles from Terre Haute, Indiana to Washington, Pennsylvania where I was greeted with a smile by my host Nancy Bielawski and her sweet dog Callie.
Nancy and her husband Roman were kind enough to invite this stranger into their home for two fun days of visiting, golfing, and sightseeing.
On Monday evening, we enjoyed a lovely dinner in their indoor/outdoor sun-room then moved outside to enjoy the evening in front of the fire pit on the deck.
Roman enjoys experimenting with mixology and made me some samples of various whiskey drinks. They were all great but I was partial to the one with blueberry in it. My brother Clair, an expert blueberry grower, should be proud of me for that. I can't even begin to remember the names of them but I know I enjoyed them. I guess you can see from the picture I am more than a 2 fisted drinker. I've always been a bit of an overachiever. LOL
On Tuesday (day 19) Nancy, her friend Val and I played golf at the Lindenwood Golf Club. What a lovely and interesting course. We didn't get any birdies but we compromised and enjoyed some of those "par shots" I've mentioned before.
In the evening, Roman drove us into Pittsburgh to enjoy a lovely dinner out on the Patio at the Hard Rock Cafe then a ride up the Incline to the top of Mt. Washington to enjoy an amazing view of the city.
I had an awesome time in Pennsylvania with my new friends, Nancy, Roman and Callie.
