January 1, 2014 Gamers

The neighbors gathered this afternoon for games and, what else, food! and, of course, visiting.

Not everyone wanted to play, but I explained and showed Freda how to play "Rack-o".  That's a fun game for 2-4 players.

Eight of us ended up playing "Seven-Up" (which has other descriptive, unflattering, names.  It is with cards, no teams, trumps are turned up after cards have been dealt, bidding (what you can catch each hand).  It is lots of fun.

Of course, I like any kind of game.  Winning is always fun, but losing doesn't bother me!  

We left that social event at five o'clock, coming home to get ready for the next social.

Fred and Gay came over with their guitar and mandolin for some singing 'n' playing.  There had been mention of playing cards after music, but The Sugar Bowl had the attention of the men.  

Gay did bring apple dumplings, which were delicious, and added to the evening's great times.

The sun broke through clouds about four this afternoon; and we are looking forward to a sunny day tomorrow.  

I started to say that there was nothing planned for tomorrow, but, that is not true.  There is the regularly scheduled Jam Session at the RV park five miles south of town.
