Last night it was:
We were only able to play for about an hour this time. Usually our SuperScrabble games go on for much, much longer. I still won, though. Yay me! I got to actually play the "Q." Usually I get stuck with it at the end of the game.
Tonight we'll be playing Dutch Blitz, which is another really fun game. It's basically the card game I learned as "Nertz" but with a special deck of cards.
I can't remember all the games in the line-up, but I know Yahtzee and Liverpool Rummy are on the list somewhere. Liverpool Rummy is a game one of my cousins taught us all to play many years ago. I have memories of playing that game around my Aunt Shirley's kitchen table, with my mother and various relations from our extended family. No holiday would be complete without a game of Liverpool Rummy. I miss those days.
Oh, I need to end this post now. I've got to get ready for my appointment. I'm keeping the Ravages of Time away today....
A few weeks ago we were at piano practice and I was sitting in her dining room reading. I just happened to look at the shelf on the bottom of her hutch and saw a wooden board with different colors and holes in it. The more I looked at it the more the realization hit me that it was an Aggravation game board! I asked her about it and she got a surprised look on her face that I actually knew what Aggravation was...and yes, that was exactly what that board was. An almost indestructible game board! We could have used that over years! : )
ReplyDeleteAnd I will treasure those memories of everyone playing Liverpool Rummy around Aunt Shirley's table..."I'llbuythat!" : )
Do you know whatever happened to Mimmie and Granddaddy's Aggravation game?
