backgammon

Backgammon is a game I played as a kid and then didn't play for many many moons until this year. My mom gave me an adorable travel set earlier this year that she totally scored on at her local Flea Market, Howard's* for 2 bucks! I can't even begin to say how far that $2 has gone and is going. We play almost everyday and it's so much fun! We one day aspire to figure out and use the doubling cube. Haha!

This game lives on our kitchen table. We play almost everyday. It's so much fun because we are even-steven on skill level and that makes it all a matter of 'luck of the dice'!!

*Howard's Flea Market in Homosassa, Florida is where Mike is from. He was all by himself and that is one of the most precious days of my lives; finding that little guy. What a firey little blessing he is. Talk about a flea market find!

a special sorry package

Very recently my honey bunny and I spent the night at one of his besties house for the night. We had to use his truck for an errand whilst we were there. Once we got home (about a 2 hour drive) low and behold, we realized we had the bestie's truck keys, whoops!! So we packaged them up quick in a priority mailing envelope and seeing as how it was a flat rate envelope we decided to make him a super special sorry package! One of the first things we made for it was a buch of jalapeno peppers with little labels on them that said SORRY!. We thought we were just so clever and so funny and we just knew we were going to get the best reaction. We did not. Look at our SORRY! peppers....aren't they just the cutest sorry things you've seen?!?!?
