Cornhole Boards IV

Even with the hustle and bustle of the holidays, I was able to complete another set of cornhole boards. This set was for our good friends Andrew and Em Garvett. Andrew graduated from Virginia Tech, and Em graduated from Auburn (WAR EAGLE!!!). This was the hardest paint scheme for me so far, but I must say, I think it turned out pretty good!! Hopefully they enjoy playing as much as I enjoyed making them. I have another set of boards that I will begin working on shortly. What paint scheme will they be?? You'll just have to keep checking back to see for yourself!!

Cornhole Part III

Here are pictures of the third set of cornhole boards I've made. These particular ones were made for the parents of our good friends Em and Andrew. Her parents live on the water, down in Florida, and we thought a nautical theme would be appropriate. We pondered for several minutes, and decided to spell out their first names using nautical signal flags!! Personally, I think they turned out pretty good (except for the big chunk that DHL put in them during shipping)!!

Another Successful Year

Last night, we hosted our 10th or 11th annual Christmas Party, and it was the 6th or 7th year for our Teddy Bear Parade.



In lieu of bringing gifts or other food dishes, we asked out guests to simply bring a NEW teddy bear to be donated to the local fire station. From there, they travel with the emergency personnel and are donated to children they come across who have been involved in a tragedy or crime.



This year was not a let down, and we already have 40+ bears to donate, with several more to come!! Thanks to everyone who donated bears this year!!

What's Wrong With This Picture!!

I won't mention any names, but this was taken at a retail store (let's just call it Mal-Wart). How long will it take for you to find the error in their ways??

What A Finish!!

Down by 11 points, and needing 4 bullseyes to my opponents 3 bullseyes, I stepped up and threw the best finish I could ever throw!!! Not sure if/when that will ever happen again!!!

Best Cricket Game??

Today, Rookie and I threw one of the best Cricket games I've ever been a part of. We threw one triple each round, and closed everything in less than 8 rounds. We joked about getting no X's, and that's just what we did. He finished with a double bullseye for the win. It was a crushing defeat for our unnamed opponents, and a game that we will remember for a long, long time!! Nice game Rookie!!

Monster Golf

Yesterday afternoon, my nephew celebrated his 7th birthday at a place called Monster Golf. It was quite a clever idea ... get a large retail space, black out all the windows, replace all lights with black lights, paint everything in glow-in-the-dark paints, and then build a putt putt golf course inside!! They also had two party rooms for hosting birthday parties. It was actually pretty fun, and I think all the kids had a great time. Now, it wasn't one of those fancy putt-putt golf courses with waterfalls and windmills, but I assure you it was just as tough. Between the games, the golf, the pizza, and the soda, all of the kids had a GREAT TIME!!! Here's the best picture I could get with my iPhone (remember, it's very dark in there)!!!
