HillBilly golf, Friends and Good Laughs

These past two weeks have been crazy, crazy. There is so much happening at work, and time is going by so fast. I am thankful for the weekends when they come around because it is a time to relax and be with the family I love and the friends i adore.

This past weekend all we did was sit and catch up on everything with everyone and especially with our Grandparents friends from Illinois. I love having them here, but the time goes so fast when they are here. Friday night we had our annual get together bon fire and cookout with them. That is always fun. Of course we played corn hole, laughed and ducked when we got to close to each other. Good thing there is no video cameras around when this is being played.

Saturday was a girls day with mom and lots and lots of ladies. We had about 15 at my moms for a stamp party and card making day. It was fun. Lots of laughs and projects being planned for the come and make what you want day in the near future.

Today, Sunday, was just the day of relaxation that we all were looking forward to. Of course we went to church, mom and I ushered, I taught Sunday School for 1st-4th graders, and then we all split for the afternoon and had wonderful naps. i can't remember the last time I took a nap in a long time.

Sunday evening came and we were all together with my grandparents and Frank and Alice and we played hillbilly golf. Yes, Hill Billy golf. It is fun! If you have never played you must.
All the game is, is three rungs of PCP piping put together. The top is worth 3 the middle 2 and the bottom 1. Each team gets six golf balls stringed together in two that you throw and try to wrap around the pipes. The first team to 21 without going over wins. Well Matt and Dad would have won, but dad landed on the wrong rung and had to go back to 20 pts and try for one each time. they were getting one each time, until either Grandma and I cancelled them out. Needless to day we caught up and only needed two pts. Grandma was up and her last two throws were one pointers and we beat the guys 21-20. Yep the girls won. We laughed each time, because you think you have the golf balls wrapped around the pipes and then, they fling off or like I did, knocked mom's off one time. OOPS

This week is filled with many things at work and home. I am back to playing tennis and won all three games last week. I still got it. and am happy with that.That's about it. until next time...have a good week
