Thank you, Doska!

I'm pretty sure I saw some of their stuff on youtube...

Absolutely!

Thank youi, Ann! I love it here in the 80s...Excellent Eighties!

Wow! Thank you, Michele! Yes, I am blessed with wonderful friendships!

I also enjoy old barns. There's a TV show:Barnwood Builders follows Mark Bowe, whose West Virginia company purchases old barns and log cabins in order to reuse the hand-hewn logs in modern housebuilding. You might enjoy it. I think it is on HGTV or a channel like that. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3286608/episodes/?year=2017

Thank you, Corrie. I celebrate all month and sometimes longer. You are not late. You're helping to extend the celebration!

Thank you, Cristina. Thank you for the quote. I see its use in another layout!

Thank you, Mary. It is a pleasure and honor to join you.

Thank you, Julie.

Thank you, Susan. I should have more time by the end of October. I had 4 birthday celebrations. It was great!

I didn't read the directions carefully but here is my take of the challenge. Jerry and I play with each other once a year or once every 2 years. (He lives in Georgia; I live in VA.) We have learned to play together and do pretty well. This photo is from last week at the Georgia Golden Olympics. We competed against 70-75 year olds and were undefeated. We won the gold medal for the age group 80-85. This was our first 80+ tournament. We hope to competed in Des Moines, Iowa next year in the National Senior Games.

The Ole Country Store has long been a favorite. We had spent a week in Georgia where I competed in the Georgia Golden Olympics. We passed right by the Ole Country Store on the way home so we stopped for one more adventure before arriving home. Lunch, ice cream and a walk by the lake...perfect end to our trip!

A nearby community invited our women to come to their courts for a tournament. We played a round robin...meaning each team played against each team...and had a great time. Each layout features players from each community. Our team had more than the required number of players so we took turns playing. Some of the host ladies come to play at our gym so some of us already knew each other. Template 05C and 05D by Billie Irene at Digital Scrapbooking.

For my 80th birthday my friend, Michelle, came up and the 3 of us went to Skyland Drive. It was a fun day with good food, ice cream and the best of time spent with friends. Template from Lab 14-09. Word art from Creative Fabrica.
