Welcome back TO!
Early this morning, Sue loaded the car with four college guys and all their luggage. The rain made the drive a little longer than usual, but she returned, John cleaned the cave and all was settling down.
Then came the phone calls. "Mom, my flight was cancelled! Sean Ferg's was delayed. Papi is on standby!" Only John Rabb went out on schedule.
We received late word that Sean and Whitey both made it home.
The comedy came under duress. TO spent 10 hours at the airport only to return for another try tomorrow. Let's hope all goes smooth and on time tomorrow!
We played capture the trailer, then hyper ball before we decided to do a Civil War battle.
We lost Sean Ferg with a shot to the chest.
Then an all out war ensued after the last man was down. 
The Heritage Club is a fine course that plays tough - 130 slope from the middle tees. The cool weather made for a brisk outing. We walked the back nine.
And the balance of the crew went to work on the big pine tree.
There are perhaps a thousand lights on that little tree.
And a thousand more on the bushes out front.
Sue did all the heavy lifting and the boys came together to lend a hand. Yes, the bag of potatoes was very heavy! 
The race was on! Who can peel four potatoes the fastest? Chad was out to an early lead... then Dave joined in the competition... and Whitey knuckled down to come through with a narrow victory!
Chad added the gourmet touch to the taters and whipped up a tasty mash.
With nine potential carvers in the group, we turned to the customary flip-off to determine who would carve the turkeys. Now please keep in mind, this is an Oswalt tradition that goes back several decades. John and I are proud to maintain a perfect record in the flip-off as long as Uncle Bill is involved. But this year Bill was not in attendance and we had two turkeys and several rookies of the knife. So the flip-off goes like this... all nine flip, odd man carves. It could take many rounds to get one odd man out of nine - the odds are one in fifty-eight. We got our two carvers in just three flips! Incredible!!!
Sean and Tommy were our carvers - rookies no longer!
Bill was hard at work outdoors. The place looks great!
And the beach.
Even without the boat in tow, the ol' Jeep didn't want to climb the hill. You bet, Rip and I towed that home too! So now I feel that I have worked a bit as well. 
The green jacket goes to Statmaster Rob with a net 186, 26 strokes under par that was anchored by a first round 79, net 52. The Statmaster is honored to have his name added to the Pechal plaque.
And all of the Pechalheads had a great time...
