My kids absolutely love them. We used to play spoons in my family but it got down right wicked! My childhood memories are cluttered with card games over the holidays at Grandma's. I learned how to play hearts with my uncles and shot the moon my first try! Beginners luck I'm sure - or probably my uncles all giving me a confidence boost! ROFL. How fun to have a family tournament! Thanks for dropping by and for taking time to comment! My hubby shared the newest release info on the <a href="http://www.blakeschwendiman.com/blook/2006/09/harry_potter_order_of_the_phoe.html" rel="nofollow">new Harry Potter movie</a> this week. Have you seen it? At least he's making good use of those hands of his during the day. *wink* Hugs, Holly Isn’t it a total blast to rediscover the simple games of the past?

Gin....as in rummy, not being driven to the wicked drink. My youngest is 9, oldest is 14, and this was something all of enjoyed playing; we even had a tournament with my sis's family, and my son and hubby made it to the semi-finals. Dad brought home the "big prize" (bragging rights). I think they like the face-to-face time, not just playing cards. Rediscovering this game of my youth has been a delight I never expected.

My daughter becomes very moody and unreasonable when she has a lot of suger (sugar crashes), so we bring in our own sugar free snacks then sometimes buy her popcorn so she can have her salty as well. Thanks for commenting on my puppy blues post, have a wonderful day!
