Yesterday we got a phone call from Rachael to check on us and to see if we wanted to play cards and come over for dinner. We love to play, and a chance to break bread with Rachael and Dennis was terrific. We had a wonderful dinner and then settled down to playing pinochle. This last year we four decided to take up this game and really learn the rules and play as often as we could. We have the rules down fairly well and enjoy each other's company, so the game goes on, and the visiting never stops. What fun!
There are some great card games like Canasta, Hearts, Spades, and Michigan Rummy. HW2 and I also enjoy playing Nasty, a card game for two taught to us by Marlene, who is a pro at that game and gives no quarter. Of course, we both like to play solitaire on the computer too, which I do to keep Alzheimer's at bay.
The best thing is the friendships and conversations with the card playing being the excuse to get together. Hopefully, you, the reader, enjoy playing cards, too.
