oh no.

today starts the FINAL weekend before that dreaded,  oh-so-LONG national hockey league / nhl season begins.

sigh.

i've noted before: the boys @ the rikrak home are hockey nuts. fun hockey playing (that part i like!), 24 hour a day hockey updating, hockey news, hockey stats, hockey reading, hockey role-playing, hockey strategizing, hockey cheering,  hockey costumes, ... it's pretty much all hockey craziness, all the time....

(i know... that's NOT very canadian of me, is it?!)

in good news ... only 9 1/2 months til it's over!

have a glorious *last weekend without hockey* cuties!

who's with me?

my favourite things: croquet

the croquet party by sugarlily

..............

woowee have we ever been enjoying backyard croquet parties since a new set arrived on my birthday! (thanks cutie!) 

i just gosh-darn love playing:  outdoors, laugh-y, partially strategic, partially flukey, no-athleticism needed FUN!

ever played? 

{if no - hurry out to find a set!}

as a bright spot in my otherwise non-illustrious sporting career: i'm proud to tell you that once upon a time mr. rikrak and i were 2-term croquet tournament-among-friends-champions!  we USED to have the trophy to prove it! {darn you, jm, for de-throning us!} :)

alas...i'm sorely out of practice! 

off to the lawn to rediscover my prowess!
