Cornhole anyone?

Have you heard of this new game? It's the rage, old world horseshoe, 30 year ago jarts and now "cornhole". It's a piece of painted plywood on a couple small one by two's .... OH anyway, I am building one, now painting one and then placing LSU decals on them for Vandy for Father's Day. I have the 6 out of eight beanbags (mine are filled with blackeyed peas instead of corn -- for the south) purple and yellow canvas cloth. So there is a hole in the plywood and you try and throw your beanbag in the hole, points are scored if you get it in the hole or on the board. I'll take pictures, this time I promise, when I am done.
Oh and if you are wondering about the completion of the grilling deck, it's not done yet. lol Gotta go paint and do a commissary run, out of peas!
Have a great day!

Cold cold Maryland ...

Hi all! Addie made it to Germany -- long long day for both of us on Wednesday, but her Dad arrived and grabbed her and then they were on the plane by 11pm. We had enough time to have dinner with Christy and buy a few more "needs" before the transfer. She's traveling now, castle visiting today. I am telling you, I am already missing her texting!
On a lighter note, I am visiting with my friend Michelle and her family in Maryland. It has rained since I got here. We went to Jessica's (Michelle's oldest) graduation yesterday (yes, in the cold rain) and today we get to do a little shopping (yes, in the cold rain)! I'll share my finds with you tomorrow, as I am hoping to make it back through the mountains to get home to Vandy by Saturday afternoon. Not in the cold rain. The only problem I see is, there were A LOT of antique shops along the road. Perhaps, I will be too focused to see them. lol ALTHOUGH, the element will be fairly empty ....hmmmmmmmmmm
