Random Pictures

 

 I really don't have much to blog about today so I'll post some pictures from other years. I know I always like to see the pics that others post. So here goes....

 I look tired on this picture but I don't think I was. I just look that way :)
I'm wearing a festive apron that my sister made.

Here's the table all set with my Old Country Roses china and the Advent wreath on the table.

Grandad and grandson M playing crokinole. I wonder how many are familiar with this game. Here's what the 'net says about it.

Crokinole is a Canadian board game that uses little wooden discs and a wooden target called a crokinole board. The objective of the game is to flick your discs into the center hole as much as possible. ( or to knock your opponents coloured discs off the board).

 Crokinole is often believed to be of Mennonite or Amish origins, but there is no factual data to support such a claim. The reason for this misconception may be due to its popularity in Mennonite and Amish groups.

We've had this game for many many years and amazingly we still have all 24 discs ( 12 beige and 12 black).

Thanks for visiting today and thank you for your comments.
