thinking of maxine

my friend, maxine, is ninety four and a half years old. she is the queen of all games. whenever we play together, she wins, hands down, usually by a two hundred point lead. :-)

most evenings super snark and i play games. there's more back and forth with who wins when we play together (which is nice for me b/c that means i'm not always the loser).

anyway, this list is for maxine and mema. since it's tuesday, it reminded me that if i were back in foco, we might just be finishing up dinner right about now and getting ready to play some game that i would lose horribly at.

top five retirement games:
*fifteen
*mexican train dominoes
*mancala
*rummy
*chess

(and scrabble is a runner up...since it's not super snark's fav game in the world...and also b/c we don't have it with us to play anyway.)

yay for all the people who love to play games in this world (no matter how old or young they are)!
