What sort of giant games are you making den?

So far we have made: Giant Jenga, Giant Kerplunk (kids game with marbles and plastic skewers), quoits. We already have a game of Corn Hole (This web address will explain it http://www.playcornhole.org/rules.shtml) and a game of horse shoes. DW wants to make  a couple of holes of mini golf. I am trying to talk her out of it

I also have some wooden benches to sand and repaint for seating at the ceremony and a four wheeled two person "bike" to restore for the bride and groom to ride into the reception on. DW also wants me to build an ice cream trolly either as a hand trolly or a bicycle trolly. This will be for the champagne.

Sounds fabulous den. Looking forward to seeing some photos when it's all done. You are going to be exhausted after this wedding. Lucky bride and groom.

Yes Cookie, Parkinson's is the pits - both my Mum & my MIL have it unfortunately.

Wow Den, that all sounds amazing (& a lot if work).

BWAAAAAAA! I wanna go to Costco.

I am culling books and taking photos of Ted's musical score collection with the hope of finding a home for them.

DD, weddings should be fun and your D's certainly will be. Hope you are not too exhausted to enjoy it.
Katie, lucky MIL and rest of family.
Kimmyh, GD recently had the tooth fairy visit.  Tooth fairy was very tired and left a $50 note under pillow by mistake.  Child was delighted and wondered what was so special about this tooth.  Be careful. ,!

We have been in garden all day, building 2 wicking beds.  Exhausted.

Lots of jobs that need to be done Gert.

Chookie the Tooth Fairy must have been VERY tired.

Met DD, SIL and 3 little GK's for a barbie breakfast in Kings Park. What a glorious morning! Kookaburras in fine form, just waiting on nearby branches for the meat to be cooked. 2 oldest GK did a little Easter egg hunt which my DD had set up before they got there. She had been coaching a group of runners in the park earlier.
Very lazy afternoon here.

Wow an expensive mistake chookie. Our tooth fairy is on a budget. $2 for first tooth and $1 for each tooth after that. Ds6 has already worked out how much all his teeth together are worth!

A bit of an emotional roller coaster ride CC but needs must. No one I know has any interest in classical music anything . A lifetime collection and as Ted was an Anglophile so much English music and history. I found a 1966 program from the 3 Choirs Festival that year in Worcester signed by Sir Adrian Boult . We met him on the train going up from London . It was our first anniversary nearly 50  years ago. He loved Elgar. . Lots of stuff I must listen to once more before sending it to others who may love it as he did.

Interesting weekend.
