I guess I should mention this is for the 1st Challenge of the race. It could not have worked out more perfectly for me with the tears and the brads I used for their Petanque balls!! Thanks Deb!

This was a photo taken at one of our family reunions we have every summer, end of July. My husband was in the process of teaching my family the european game of Petanque, played with metal balls. It is similar in some aspects to horseshoes, but much more difficult as much more precise and your target is not only smaller but moves.

Journaling: Petanque is something like playing horseshoes only with balls of metal. Uncle Pat is great with horseshoes, but Michel is great with this game. Of course....it is a game played in France! Carey my brother, is just planning on winning!
