Another glorious day. We want to see an art show, so we'll be inside part of it, but oh, well. I made falafel last night for the first time, and it was delicious. I bore myself so thoroughly with my cooking, so that little effort to come up with something new is appreciated, by me. Hey, if you can't appreciate yourself, who will? I talked briefly to my granddaughter on the phone last night. She was too excited by the board game I'd sent her to want to speak with me. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot. Anyway, I was pleased by her enthusiasm. I sent Uncle Wiggly and also a game involving robin's eggs. She's at a great age for board games now, though still needing someone to read her the rules and play it through with her a couple of times. In my era, without computers etc, board games were a major part of our leisure time, and we had games set up for days on end. I still have a ton up at the cabin, where there is no TV, DVD player, computer hookup or any other way to isolate yourself. We play Boggle, Scrabble, Bananas, Monopoly, Clue and card games like Spit and Hearts and Gin Rummy. I look forward to it.
With just my husband and I board games aren't much fun, but we do play Scrabble. He loves Suduku, which is solitary. Sometimes I do crosswords, but I prefer those with another person. So games are a treat these days.
