Daddy is 27!

Jamie turned 27 on Friday.

We had his party at the house on Saturday. Crabs, beer, swimming, and corn hole. It seemed like everyone had a great time. We've got plenty of beer and baked beans left, but that's about it. 

Jamie is a huge seafood lover. He loves crabs, fish, and shrimp the most. I, on the other hand, don't like seafood at all. I don't know if it's the taste of everything or if it has to do with the texture of most of it. (I'm OCD when it comes to textures of things.) I won't eat jello for Christ's sake (unless it's a shooter). I won't eat pancakes with syrup because it makes the texture of the pancakes unbearable. I LOVE pumpkin pie, and I make it from scratch every year, but I will only eat one or two peices, because of the texture. 

Jamie and I are thinking about making corn hole boards and selling them. He'll make them and I'll paint them. Corn hole is a very popular game around here. They have corn hole tournaments at a local restaurant on Thursdays and even have specials on food when the tournament is going on. Corn hole boards sell for $120.00 a piece at the local hardware store and you need two boards to play- so they're making loads of money. I figure if we make two sets and sell them for $100.00 a set, we'll make our money back on those two, plus some. For those of you who don't know what corn hole is:

"Cornhole, also known as bean bag toss Bean Bag Game", corn tossbaggo or bags, is a lawn game in which players take turns throwing bags of corn at a raised platform with a hole in the far end. A bag in the hole scores 3 points, while one on the platform scores 1 point. Play continues until a team or player reaches the score of 21."

Anyways: I've also been thinking about selling Discovery Toys. I grew up with them and they're great learning toys. I just have to find a way to come up with the moneys and get a couple parties booked. If anyone is interested, PLEASE let me know!

With oceans of love and a kiss upon each wave,
