Just Add Family

4th table runnerWe’ve been getting ready for The Family…the reunion.  We can now stop getting ready, because they come today.  I haven’t seen one sister in a year, the other sister in two years and one brother in three years…and that is the longest I have ever gone without seeing them.  It is one of the higher prices to pay for moving here.  I am so excited to see them and collect some a lot of hugs.

A good deadline as well, to finish a few projects…like my flag made from an old row-boat floor board.4th porchThe picnic table gets an overhaul as well.4thpicnic tableMaking a few bags to share..feed bag1

My Sweet Friend was telling us how much fun they had playing ‘corn holes’, so I asked My Loving Spouse, if he could just whip a few up…which he could…because he is handy and giving.corn hole

…and it works…it is fun…and he beat me….I strongly suspect a re-match.

corn holes…now just add family!

    Those are the fanciest corn hole games I’ve seen yet! Can’t wait to play your “loving spouse” and take him out! What a lovely weekend you provided for your family – I’m sure many great memories…..

      Oh, Judy!
      The corn hole game was such a HIT! Laughter and fun! Moved around for the shade and it was wonderful! Thank you for the recommendation and we look forward to your being here to have a go!

    I can’t believe your Loving Spouse beats you…

      I am sure it will be the last time.
