Wednesday… WE MOVED, now getting set up at Son Mark’s home. now GAMES

 Today’s picture:

 


Now for today:

When we lived full time in our RV, we never left anything behind, BUT, Traveling as we do now, when we leave a homebase, we forget somethings.  So far I have missed an extension cord. No big deal, Mark has many here at his place.  The other thing we now are missing is our dominoes.  WE have enjoyed our modification or Mexican Train, and played it regularly.  Sherry even played the game with Elle and Jack Jr. at times.

Friend Marian of Pennsylvania taught us the game of Mexican Train and we have enjoyed it. Our set is in NC as I type, but we are known to double up on somethings, so I just sent Mr Amazon an order for a new set that we will leave in the motor home.



It has been a long time since I shuffled a real deck of cards.  We did play solitaire with real cards but now Sherry and I play about three solitaire games on the laptop and tablet most nights.

Do you enjoy any games?

Since we do not watch TV, we do enjoy the computer time with card games. I refuse to try any of the millions of new games.  (I just smiled big time.)  That is because at Walmart yesterday looking for dominoes, they were actually hard to find due to the hundreds of games I have never heard of, on the shelves.

 

You see I remember checkers, Monopoly, Sorry and a couple other board games (I cannot even think of more names now.)

 

WE talk about watching some movies on the TV, but the funny thing is, we do not know how to work the TVs.  WE are used to something that receives signals on an antenna and has an on/off switch.  LOL

Sometimes when our sons are around they will turn on a TV, and show Sherry how to find channels.  However, it is so far in between times, we forget. True dat!

WE KNOW, yes we know, we are numbered in the few who doesn’t turn on the TV.  WE do have two in this RV and at least two back home. Son Mark leaves his TV on 24/7 and sleeps in front of it.



I don’t think that not watching TV is inherently good, it is that due to my hearing we, over time, just gave it up.  I cannot read fast enough for closed caption.  I guess it is just me, but it seems that EVERYONE on TV talks faster than I can hear!  LOL

Games people play was a great song by Joe South with great lyrics. See:

God bless.
