“It's spring fever. That is what the name of it is. And when you've got it, you want - oh, you don't quite know what it is you do want, but it just fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so!” ~Mark Twain
Mr. Twain said it right – and spring fever definitely has a hold of us here at Serenity. Today we decided to play a game indoors that was traditionally designed to be played outside!
This afternoon a few of us took some time to play Ladder Golf. It is an interesting game that involves two golf balls tied together on opposite ends of a rope. Players then throw the tied balls at a “ladder” and if the roped balls wrap themselves around a ring on the ladder, that person earns points for his or her team.
It was a blast for all of us to watch each other earn points for our teams – and there was definitely some competition! The first game the Blue Smurfs won, and the second game the Green Beans were able to come back to win! It was quite an exciting Friday afternoon!
Take a look at these pictures to see the fun we had. Above is Sandy who is throwing for the Blue Smurfs. To the left is Henrietta who is about to win it for the Green Beans, and to the right is Bonnie throwing for the win for the Blue Smurfs!
For the past two years at Serenity, we have decorated our own heart-shaped sugar cookies to treat ourselves at our annual Sweetheart Supper to celebrate Valentine's Day. Icing, sprinkles and unique designs is all we needed for success. We had cookies in purple, pink, red, green, blue, yellow and even cookies with a little of each color!
