Mellow Yellow Monday

My dad's side of the family plays a card game we call "Oh Nutts!" more popularly known by a different name that some may find inappropriate... ;-)
 My maiden name contains the word "nutt" so my dad & step-mom or my grandparents (I forget which, silly pregnancy brain!) changed the name of the card game to match our name lol. We get together and play once a month in the cold weather months because my dad and step-mom sell Italian Ice at festivals over the summer and that is the off-season. Whoever wins gets to pick their favorite package of nuts as a prize and they also get to take home this lovely trophy my dad made.

Isn't it great? My brother found the bobble head on ebay and my dad made the base and had the engraved plate made.

I won once and got to bring the trophy home and then the last time we played before the Italian Ice season started, Jim came in second to a "guest" out-of-town player, so we got to bring the trophy home until the next game, which I think is in December (the trophy has to stay with family and be in Ohio)!! So Mr. Peanut gets to live with us for a while. Don't you wish you could have one too???

This photo is from a couple days ago. We had another frosty morning and a beautiful sunrise. Check out more photos featuring the color yellow for Mellow Yellow Monday at the link below.

#32 - Mellow Yellow Monday - Sunrise

The sunrise from our front porch this morning. I thought since I ended January with a sunSET, I would start February with a sunRISE. Ooooh am I clever or what? lol
