The winner of the 2007 Masters, Zach Johnson (The normal guy from Iowa)
treated his fellow Champions to dinner on Tuesday using Iowa corn fed
beef and other fixings which he planned with the assistance of Ruth's
Chris steakhouse but the actual cooking was done by the staff at the
Augusta National.

I have a close up of Tiger from a couple years ago....but it is just too
much trouble (to me) to compete with all the crowds for that. And when
I've been able to speak privately with the players I've never imposed to
ask anything of them. I like to think they appreciate that, y'know?
Cameras are *very* restricted there and they can only be brought to the
practice rounds and not into the tournament itself. No cell phones,
pagers, cameras, large purses, walkmans, yada yada yada. I took some
pictures of the course last week before the public trampled it, and then
yesterday I took some fast shots of the courtesy supplied Mercedes Benzs
in the player's parking lot and my simple little lunch.

ObFood-New to the menu this year for those in need of a sweet is the
little miniature Masters Moonpie. They were 2/$1. I almost hated to tear
into the little custom wrapper, lol!

Letsee... a little puce colored jacket, a lavender colored knit shirt, a
very traditional green/white striped men's polo <gift for someone>, 6 of
the wonderful tumblers I give out to folks for as gifts... I think that
was about it? I probably spent close to $800 between the clubhouse pro
shop and the public shop last few years. Mostly on gifts oddly enough?

LOL, I didn't think of that! <slaps head> And I can't do it tomorrow as
cameras are banned now that the tournament has begun. I do have one of
the new miniature Masters Moonpies in the kitchen I brought home, but
I'm too lazy to go photograph it.
I did also bring home about 10 of the collectors cups which this year
features Amen Corner and celebrates the fiftieth anniversary of the name.

I was just thinking about you the other day. We're planning to get
rid of our excess microwave and the cart it is on. I'm not fully in
agreement with this, but we do need to get rid of stuff ;-p I have
quite an assortment of plastic cups, plates, forks, teas and other
assorted items that *belong* in the cabinet of the microwave cart.
The Masters tumblers have now been moved to a kitchen cabinet with
foil pie tins and various lasagna pans.

Then I thought about you yesterday, when I stopped in someplace and
they had the Masters on tv!

So what'ya saying here... you don't need this years cup too?

My latest Master's thrill was driving down Magnolia Lane (gasp!) in one
of the courtesy Mercedes on loan to the players!
It was a almost surreal.

My husband would say I don't;-) I like having a collection of solid
reusable plastic cups. I've got some Mardi Gras ones and other
various commemorative cups too.

That sounds pretty cool. You've got connections :-)
