What did you do on this blessed day?

We did some driving around this morning, to get some fresh air and enjoy the beautiful day. Here are some pictures of our morning. Just look at all of the glorious things we encountered! God is so good!

James 1:17 Every good and perfect gift comes from above.

Have you ever seen a sky so blue?

A family of Canada Geese - just look at those fuzzy little ones!

The first BLUE eyed horse we've ever seen! Gorgeous! We
stopped along the road side to feed them.

Listening to it, it sounded like a Tern.

When we got home to our bird book, we discovered it
is a Killdeer. Fascinating markings!

Simple and Affordable Fun!

Texas Horseshoes

This is such a fun new twist on horseshoes! Click here to see the rules of the game and how to make your own game.

My husband made ours with relative ease and at a low cost. It is a great game for picnics, summer evenings, when having friends over...even the kids can play! Texas Horseshoes can be used as a wonderfully fun math lesson too, without the kids even realizing it. : ) It's portable, so throw it in the car and take it to an outing where everyone will enjoy it!

Tips from us:
#1 Our dimensions are different from those at the website I'm sending you to, but you can choose for yourself which one you like best.
#2 We stand ON the board when we toss our washers, unlike the folks in the picture at the link I attached. See Rule #2 on their site.
#3 We spray painted 3 washers green and 3 red, so it is easier to keep track of each players washers. Obviously, choose any color you like.


Our dimensions are:
Each board 4 ft x 1ft x 4" high, 2x4 with 1/2" plywood deck
Each hole 4 inches in diameter, spaced 1 foot apart (3 holes on each board)
Each washer is 3.5" in diameter, with a 1.5" center hole
Top each deck with low pile indoor/outdoor carpeting
Have fun! We know you will.
