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:

I play a computer game called Capitalism about building a finance empire and buying stocks and shares and opening shops and factories etc ....
God bless.
We learned a version of Mexican dominoes, with a regular pack of dominoes, way back when we were first married. We used to play rook a lot during that time as well. Rick likes playing hearts on the tablet. Hope you both are doing well, take care, Sheila Y
I have never heard of Mexican Dominoes. I like regular dominoes. I watch too much tv myself - but only at night. I work in the morning. Then I am on the computer. In the kitchen and at night instead of games we watch tv.
We love to play Mexican Train , so fun!! We enjoy game night with David and Liz every so often.
I've never played a dominoes game, but have to confess (that) I'm addicted to the NYTimes daily games -- Wordle, Spelling Bee, Connections and Strands. Unfortunately, Tom's not interested in any form of board game or cards.
As far as TV watching? Unless we're going somewhere, ours stays on 24/7. Tom watches sometimes all night from his recliner, but at least he directs the audio to his hearing aids. I hope this cold weather doesn't impact your enjoyment; it's supposed to turn bitter here in the next couple of days.
