Moundbuilders Country Club is Moving

 If you read this blog, you know Moundbuilders Country Club is my happy place.  I never thought over 20 years ago I would love a place as much as I love dear ole MCC.  Life on Newark-Granville Road valued the place to teach the kids to swim, have a place to go when I was home with three kids, play tennis, eventually this is where I learned to play golf. It was the go to date night and where we met fantastic friends. We were welcomed and connected to catch-up, share, listen, cry and celebrate. It is where we've lived, a home away from home. We've served to- you get what you put in- Joe is on the board, we've interviewed, oriented, coordinated and planned and refed the swim meets!

The Club is now moving to the Trout Club. We're in transition and we're helping! We know this beautiful picturesque place will become our new home away from home and we look forward to what this chapter brings. Change and transition isn't easy, it isn't without tears and emotions.  Today we participated in some planning and were rewarded with a rainbow!

Please consider being a member if you are not, or want to return!! Ask me about it- I can get you the details.  If you are a member now I hope you'll continue to be part of our MCC family- what will our new name be- to be determined- again transiton and change!

Dates to know:  

Wednesday 10/30- Transition Celebration at the MCC location 6 pm! Live music and a last gathering!

Sunday, 11/10- 6 pm- Member Open House- tours, food, drink, entertainment!

Life on Newark-Granville Road is so grateful for all the family time at MCC!

Out of order, but taking the time to remember...september!

 September...do you remember..dancin the night away, found the love that we shared....never was a cloudy day....a few stand out lyrics from the Earth, Wind & Fire song that connect to my September!

Highlighting so I don't soon forget:

Sept 1 was Amanda Love's birthday....what fun to gather a great group and walk to Station for coffee and gather to celebrate this special neighbor/friend who makes life on Newark-Granville Road special. Life is better when you are friends with those so close, and I know- we've been lucky before and are happy to be lucky again with the Love-Fullers in our lives.  Amanda loves to celebrate others and unite good people all accompanied by good taste and Joie de Vivre, so it was fun do honor her big birthday.

Then we had:

Labor Day at MCC- Seafood Fest and last pool day...my happy place- savor savor- ahh the memories!

Then went to see Sally, as I had the good fortunate to attend the unveiling of the statue for Senator Richard Lugar, DU alumnus and hear Condoleezza Rice speak! The timing worked out as I was able to hold Sally's while stitches were applied to a field hockey injury- she is okay! Love the love of her pals.

Mike Trigg's book reading at Gramercy was on a Thursday and really is important, poignant and just a lovely evening! The next day I flew to Oregon for a full weekend that included vineyard time, Nike Tour and cheering for the Big Red Football team with dear Denisonians! Breakfast with Kathleen wrapped it up- quality Denisonians!

Book Club- its own post

Chicago time for Amanda's solo exhibit at Patrician Gallery in Wilmette, then Michigan girl time- a float in Lake Michigan

Nnew career shift- Joe on his own- thank you Infoverity (picture is Day Two of truly Work from Home)

Then the final Ladies Golf League Outing at the current club location- lucky me to play with Carol and Susan Litwiller!  This group has taught me so much, I've grown to love this sport all the more and grown in my confidence to play and enjoy it.

Then Family Weekend at DePauw- where Denionians unite...we're so happy Sally is so happy and we do love college town memory making!

Then Martha Hit 300- it's own post!

Then Family Weekend and Denison and FLC! We had BRW early as Joe hosted Steve Fruit and Pete Wintoski for golf...this year BRW is more Homecoming and happening in November, Family Weekend a stand-alone event focused on Families- brilliant Julie and so well executed!

Then Clare had a birthday to launch October....future post about October fun with focus on family!

Life on Newark-Granville Road appreciates, savors and celebrate what keeps us moving and happy!

Cabi and Dresden Commercial Break

Thank you for supporting this!!! Dresden party still open!! Cabi closed but if let me know if you have interest or contact Roanne directly!! (sunday 10-6 update)

 I hosted a Cabi party last night- what is Cabi- Carol Anderson by Invitation- clothing sold in homes- hence the invitation part.  I've been buying Cabi since I arrived in Granville in early 2000s....took a break, then loved the opportunity when hosted by Vicki Sugar and our Cabi consultant was her dear friend Kay, who came from Indy.  Kay retires and Roanne picks up to support our shopping!  These types of sales rely on people opening up their homes.  I like to support these women and I like the clothing.  My house was far from clean last night but I tied up, opened some wine (sent sister in law for Prosecco), and said- let's shop and connect! It was lovely.  If I didn't invite you I'm sorry! Thanks to those who did rally to join! September has been a whirlwind of work with some great travel- Sally/DePauw post later!! I've started a list in my organizer/planner of people who love Cabi- new names!  Side bar- communication- again- how to keep up with text, emails, messanger/social medias...I admit to not doing a great job.  How did I do it when tracking high school kid schedules?

AND BONUS- Beth Ann- dear Dresden rep- has added to our fun. She did it at her Cabi show and it worked, so we tried it last night! Dresden and Company- hooray for the relaunch/reinvent of Longenberger and keeping this special Ohio heritage and work going.  There are many special pieces, great gifts, and delicious food items! Take a look....

Here are the shows- Cabi closes on Friday, maybe Saturday, if you miss it Roanne can still help you, and let me know I can help you too.  It was so fun to Facetime with one pal who missed the show.

Life on Newark-Granville road- kicking off fall by decorating the house and myself! Thank you for sharing the fun and support!
