Although my family does not want their smiling faces featured in my blog, they are a large part of the cheer in my life. My husband and I had the chance to enjoy a whole evening doing nothing but eating grilled tiger shrimp and playing gin rummy last week. Given his recent work schedule, that was a big treat! Long before electronic entertainments were a distraction, card-playing was a big part of all intergenerational events in my childhood and passed the long winter evenings in laughter. Cards are not a big part of my husband’s childhood memories, but I am slowly converting him to the charms of smiling sweetly at your spouse, while soundly demolishing any chance they had at winning…” Gin!” “….Again?!” 😉
