One Big Happy by Rick Detorie for February 01, 2014

Oh boy! Who taught Ruthie to gamble? My money’s on grandpa.

Aunt Daisy strikes again!

Hmmm there’s a lot of learnin from Summer School in Nevada.

Pet snacks in the “Den” over at Creators reminds me of a funny story. My mother kept a small dish of kitty snacks on a side table in our den/TV room and my X-husband (when we were newly married back in the early 1960s) liked to snack on anything he saw, so I was not surprised to find that he ate some of those (possibly most of a dish- he was not a very discerning eater). He was not pleased when I told him those were for her cats.

I learned cards as a kid, mostly Canasta, Rummy, Tripoli and some baby games, but seldom played poker. We DID play blackjack, too just for fun (none of the splitting or playing on other hands). I still have not mastered that latter.

Oh Ruthie’s been a card player since she could prop herself up on a chair. Family tradition.

I was taught pitch as a kid the a different card game older both had to say something, now an older adult I do not remember as no played anymore.

She may know blackjack, but she also knows how to add.

Good skill to have, too…..
