Blue Nettles

Yes, Kay, my birthday has been on October 29th for 46 years now. Thanks for the birthday wishes. We had a nice weekend. Driving through the wine country out to the coast. Then just relaxing and looking out at the ocean. I thought of Dad when I received the birthday card from mom. (Thanks Mom!). At the inn we stayed at, there was chess board inlaid into a table. So Whitey and I set it up to play. That was his sole entertainment when he went down the Amazon years ago so he got pretty good. I had not played at least 15 years or so. But it all came back to us. I was very proud of myself (and I think Dad would be to) as I remembered all of the moves. And I won 2 out of 3 games. Wow - that game takes a lot of brain power though.

Does anyone else play any of the games Dad taught us? Cribbage, chess, poker? Just curious.

Love to everyone,
Max
