Have you ever played
Horseshoes ? yes - have stakes up in our yard to play Croquette ? yes - many years ago Badminton ? yes - also many years ago but may have to see about getting a set for the back yard
Bonus Question:
What is your favorite outside summer game ? I don't know what you would want to call it but it involves tennis balls hooked together on a lace that you throw at a ladder with 3 rungs and each rung scores different points. Each team gets 3 sets of balls to throw per turn. Some people have this game with golf balls instead. I think most around here call it Ladder balls - but we call it dingle balls sometimes.
Extra Credit Question:
What is your favorite thing to take to the beach or pool ? ME Bonus Extra Credit Question:
If someone you knew really well was "redolent" in a "not so good way", would you let them know ? Probably not. If it was body odor, I may hint. But around farming country there are MANY that walk around smelling of cattle and pig manure daily. I sometimes wonder if they even realize how bad it can be!
Have you ever played Horseshoes ? yes Croquette ? yes, but I don't think we knew what we were doing, just made it up as we went along,LOL Badminton ? Yes, I played this when we had our Christmas get together (that's in summer here)
Bonus Question:
What is your favorite outside summer game ? Nothing like a game of backyard cricket. I am a mean bowler, I played on the womens team for my town when I was at school.
Extra Credit Question:
What is your favorite thing to take to the beach or pool ? LOL sunblock! I burn very easily. A towel is always good, gotta have the sunnies (sunglasses) and some music.
Bonus Extra Credit Question:
If someone you knew really well was "redolent" in a "not so good way", would you let them know ? That depends on who it is, if it's a family member I'll tell them. If it's somebody I am only aquainted with I wouldn't, I would just get away from them ASAP. There's just no nice way to say it is there?

What is your favorite outside summer game ? how about sitting by the pool with a drink in hand to see who can drink the most
Extra Credit Question:

Oh I see. That is a tough one. No, it is tough, really tough. I was in this situation with someone who doesn't use deodorant. Oh it was awful. the whole house smelled like underarms pits. We had stayed over night and i brought my febreeze for the sheets but that didn't even make a dent.
Still couldn't say anything so we just don't go anymore. I can't.

Does anyone remember lawn darts? Those were fun. I think they stopped making those for "safety" reasons. Too bad.
What is your favorite outside summer game ? Volleyball and Frisbee.
What is your favorite thing to take to the beach or pool ? A book and suntan lotion.
If someone you knew really well was "redolent" in a "not so good way", would you let them know ? Yes I would tell them as long as I knew them really well. It is a very sensitive topic so I would only say something if they could fix it. If it was some kind of health issue I wouldn't say a word. I used to know an older couple who used cheap perfumes instead of bathing. Talk about Yuk.
International Pickle Day- Yum. I love the old pickle barrels.
National Spam Day (the one in a can not the one in your inbox ) Oh no, I don't think I can do Spam.
Good morning to you...Good morning to you.... Good morning "? of the day" Peeps...

Bonus Question:
What is your favorite outside summer game ? I would have to say tennis and then horseshoes!!
What is your favorite thing to take to the beach or pool ? A tall glass of Ice Tea and a good book!!
If someone you knew really well was "redolent" in a "not so good way", would you let them know ? I think it would depend on who it is, even one I know really well.... Some individuals in my life are sensitive and I know it would be a good thing not to say and just let it be.... Yet there are some I could say something to and know they would not take an offense!!
