Canasta
That's right - Canasta. John and I decided to go get a game this weekend and after shuffling around the game store came out with 2 decks of cards and a book on card games. We spent a joyful Saturday trying to decipher the "official rules" which are horribly written and not meant to be used as a "how to play" book as advertised. We were triumphant (at least until someone who really knows how to play comes along) and now have a new pastime.
It's really quite sad that social things such as boardgames and cards are so out of the ordinary now. People don't get together to play such games anymore and I for one say bring it back - bring back the game day!

Hi Robin,
Canasta huh?? Sounds interesting. Our older retired friends are playing cards constantly. We opted for more parenthood instead. Don't get me wrong, we'd love to play cards "sometimes", just not all the time. :)
Anyway, maybe we'll brush up on canasta and when we see you, we can play. We have to compete with the kids---they're almost immediate experts at just about any game. Watch out now that they're all learning to read. We don't stand a chance!
"Simple pleasures are the best"!
Love mom
