Friday.... Games people Play

So, for today:

A good friend Marian who lives in the frozen tundra of Pennsylvania taught us to play ‘Mexican Train’, a Dominoes ame.  I thought Dominoes were just set up in designs to knock over the first one and watch them fall in design. If you play the game you know you need some flat space like a nice dining room table.  Well we did no have that in the coach, so we modified the game some, but we still enjoy it many evenings.


Mexican Train set up..

Then there is trivia.  Sherry and her two sons J Jr. and Mark have a ball over the phone playing the daily trivia game.  JJ and Sherry take turns guessing if they do not know the answer.  By doing that the guesser may be wrong, but the other gets it right by waiting to find out the real answer.  Mark tells them they are cheating.  LOL

I do not get involved in trivia, I don’t know enough trivial stuff. LOL But my family has a blast with it.

AS  a kid I loved Monopoly, My sister and I played together so we did not have a banker.  I cheated a lot by taking two fifty dollar bills when I was supposed to take one.



I also liked Sorry. Playing cards was never allowed in our house, they had to do with the devil. So, on a cruise in the USMC my Buddies??? Decided to teach me to play poker. After losing about a half month's pay, I had learned all I EVER needed to know about Poker. (Daddy might have been right!!)


LOL  I played for pennies a few times aboard other ships, I was never good at it. LOL

But today my favorite game is Mexican Train.  Do you pass time with any games? What is your favorite?

I enjoyed playing Easy Money and Payday
with my Mom and brother
at the kitchen table
we all played the card game Crazy 8’s
when we went up north on vacation
my Mom would say
“Who dealt this...?”
(she didn’t swear though)
made me laugh every time

I’m struggling with the game of life 💔

The game of life is difficult to play. It requires faith, trust, love and kindness amongst other things. Qualities that are difficult to find these days and hard to acquire and maintain for oneself.

God bless.

I don't like Monopoly - too long of a game for me. I have a short attention span. I like cards like Uno - Phase One - Gin Rummy - things like that.
