I still remember how my uncles used to spend Saturdays in the back yard playing while all the cousins would either play their own game or run off to the park :) Good times....Thoeriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00171041574929701812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-52773987947098590102016-03-09T18:31:49.373+10:002016-03-09T18:31:49.373+10:00Cooler weather - relish!

My husband won't play games so my Scrabble game sits in the closet. It just isn't the same to play alone. Blessings...

I even used it in my classroom when we talked about probability. We also played a variation of dominoes called Mexican Train. We learned it from a British couple, and played it a lot during our camping years, and on the road. I haven't played in almost six years, so ... the rules are fuzzy - I get that! <a href="http://mexicantrainrulesandstrategies.com/" rel="nofollow">Mexican Train Rules and Strategies</a>. When we played just the two of us, we often only used up to 9, but when we played teams with friends, we played the full set of 12.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-322353075713101222016-03-09T07:55:44.533+10:002016-03-09T07:55:44.533+10:00how to http://www.domino-games.com/domino-rules/...how to http://www.domino-games.com/domino-rules/domino-basics.htmlKathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14924620301581918273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-9519927298422853412016-03-09T05:19:09.112+10:002016-03-09T05:19:09.112+10:00What a nice little get away.

They taught my siblings and me how to play. Sadly they are no longer with us except in our hearts.

My eldest g.daughter was, I believe, the first girl to be born in three generations of her father's family - it caused quite a stir. Will you be sparing a moment, eventually, to design a welcoming 'Postcard from Heaven' for your new g.child is born?? That would be something to treasure. Val.E.V.E.

She is beautiful and sweet expectant mom, and you are beautiful and sweet expectant granny. <br /> The domino was the my grandmother´s favourite game, the mother of my mother. She teaches to play all the grandchildren. It is a nice memory.<br />Águedahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01714678030947878082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-72120825026753736892016-03-09T02:58:36.290+10:002016-03-09T02:58:36.290+10:00Good Morning Jenny!

Glad that you are getting cooler temperatures and rain. It has been raining here quite a bit this winter season and we have needed it desperately. I hope that you and Blossom continue to have splendid times together preparing for the baby.

I remember my own daughter and the excitement of waiting with her. My first was a grandson! I smocked many little outfits and helped sew things for a nursery, my hands were very busy. Lucky for me, she had a girl next! You never saw a grandmother sew so many cute outfits. If you want to smock, I've got plates I will send you! Of course my favourite magazine that I bought was right there from your own country...Smocking. I've got at least 12 of those issues. Since they are all in college, I think I could part with a few of those...for my dear friend! By the way, I kept a puzzle going when grandkids would come. It took awhile, but it is the best way to talk. My daughter lives far across the country from me, but I when I go to visit her there is alway a puzzle waiting. We talk and talk while we put that puzzle together!<br />Dorisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-91664554862083891232016-03-09T00:14:51.724+10:002016-03-09T00:14:51.724+10:00Blossom is beautiful just like her mom!

I miss the simpler life when we played cards and board games and put together jig saw puzzles. No cell phones to watch every minute in case someone post what they must share with the world at that very minute. A time when family drew together. This was a nice post.<br />xx, CarolCarol- Beads and Birdshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11062821517519300477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-28936699280980663082016-03-08T17:44:30.135+10:002016-03-08T17:44:30.135+10:00Such a lovely day and Blossom is looking fantastic...Such a lovely day and Blossom is looking fantastic.
