The Newcomer's monthly outing was to the Rural Hill Amazing Maize Maze on Friday. The Maze is the largest one in the southeast - a seven acre corn maize with over two miles of interconnecting paths. Many of the paths were dead ends and we found ourselves going around in circles many times! It was a lot of fun though. There were nine of us so we decided to split up into three teams and see who finished first. (guess whose team that was!!!!) We were given a game board and had to find 12 mailboxes that held map pieces in the maze and tape them to our board. As you find more mailboxes you slowly build your map and find the way out. It took us an hour and 45 minutes and we walked almost 3 miles!!

| The group - hot and tired! |

| We sorta cheated - we couldn't figure out how to get to the path we wanted to so we cut through the corn!! |
 |
| Ahhh - the path to get out .... we think! |

Wednesday was Jeff and Darcie's my (son and daughter in law) ninth wedding anniversary. I can't believe it's been nine years!! The day they got married we woke up to rain in the morning but shortly before they said their vows in an outdoor ceremony, we saw the most beautiful rainbow. I'm sure they've had moments that weren't rainbow moments over the years but their love has grown stronger and they are happy. That's all that matters. Rainy wedding days are supposed to be good luck. Guess it was for Sonny and I since it poured on our day .... 40 years ago! Wednesday was not a rainbow type of day though for Jeff and Darcie. The night before the water softener that was in their garage exploded as Jeff was trying to add salt to it and dumped gallons of water in the garage and into their kitchen. It ended up costing them an unexpected $2,000. Sometimes you get rainbows; sometimes not! This is the card I made for them using that great Owl Punch. How do you like it?
