Checkers

This is my nearly finish newish project. We have been picking up games to put in the motor home. We found the big size checker pieces at Goodwill but it didn't have a price on the bag. When checking out we asked the price & one lady said there is a rug that goes with it. She went to look for the rug & get us a price on just the pieces. Well some one else check out at the other register & she had the rug. We offered her the pieces & she said no she just wanted the rug. She was paying $1.99 for just the rug & the lady came back & said it would be 99¢ for the pieces. So if we could have talked to the lady with the rug we could have worked out a deal with her. Oh well Goodwill got an extra 99¢ for their work. I have since found I had a piece of heavy fabric that could be used for the "board". I marked off squares & have now painted them. I had to do the painting in two steps as I ran out of paint. I just finished the last of the painting. You can see the tape is still on. Now we can play checkers if we want. I also thought this bigger size would be fun for the grandkids to use too when here.

Twin?

I thought maybe I should post pictures of both our black dogs so you could see how Betsy's size is compared to Abby's. It is hard to get the two of them to sit still long enough to get a good picture. I was trying to bribe them with a treat then they kept looking up at me & moving closer to me. But here is a picture that will at least give you an idea of her size. Soon she will be bigger than Abby. By the way Betsy is the one in front.

This lower pictures is Betsy's way to get our attention. She also rings a set of bells on the door when she wants or needs to go out.
