Saturday Night Golf and Sunday Afternoon Hallmark Movies

Last Saturday Andrew and John came over to the house and we kicked around what board game we would play. After everyone threw in their two cents worth, Andrew talked us into playing GOLF!

Do you see the black monster with the huge gaping mouth sitting there ready to devour the cards? It's actually the automatic shuffler. None of us are good at shuffling the cards except Austin. And actually, he does better than the automatic shuffler! But he's on deployment, so couldn't help us out.

See how my finger nicely frames John in this picture? It lends excellent depth perception to the picture. Wish I could say I did it on purpose. I just have a horrible time keeping my finger away from the lens of my iphone.

Here's Andrew with that concentration look of what his opponent is playing.  

And here is the most beautiful woman in the room!! She's keeping score.

And this is ME! I love the picture Yvonne took. It hides most of what I don't like seeing in a picture of me. Yea!

This is Yvonne shuffling the cards using the automatic shuffler.

John Ortiz won the game! Yea John!

Sunday Tia Bishop came to church again and then came over to the house afterward. Andrew and John were here too, and so was Liam Egbert. 

Yvonne was putting the finishing touches on dinner, I was in my office checking on an online stamp auction that was coming to a close that I was involved in. 

All of a sudden I heard Yvonne say, "No! Not Harry Potter!"

Liam was checking on something to watch on television and clicked on a Harry Potter movie. Dustin chimed in and said, "Yea, we don't want witchcraft do we!?"

Liam then found "The Fugitive", but Tia started chanting, "No! Hallmark! Hallmark! Hallmark!"

By that time I was in the room too. So I said, "Hey guys, you've had your pick before, and since Tia's new, Hallmark it is." 

All the guys groaned and said, "Nooooo!" But they were good sports about it.

Do you notice that Tia has the tv remote in her hand? 

Dustin is one of the culinary specialists on his boat, so he went in the kitchen to help Yvonne make dessert. He made a chocolate chip pie. Yvonne made white chicken chili for dinner. 

Then Liam cracked me up! He told Tia, "Look what you've brought me to! I'm sitting here hugging a pillow, eating chocolate, and watching a chick flick!" We laughed! He even let me take a picture of him in that sad state of affairs. :)

We actually watched TWO Hallmark Christmas movies that afternoon! We'll see who comes over for Thanksgiving after that ordeal! Tee Hee!
