Family Game

Gramma with Bee & Boo

Last night we had my m-i-l over for supper, and invited her to stay afterward for a game of Mexican Rummy. First hand: 2 sets; Bug(13) was out before I could even pick up my cards! Second hand: 1 set, 1 run. Continued...

3rd: 2 runs

4th: 3 sets

5th: 2 sets, 1 run -- Son(9) gloated that he was dealt a perfect hand and would be down so quick it would make our heads spin. Didn't quite happen. Couldn't get the "one card" he needed, so most were down before he went out.

6th: 2 runs, 1 set

7th: 3 runs, all different suits, must lay all cards down, no discard -- Gramma (m-i-l) won!!

Shocking thought -- do you realize how few American households were likely to be enjoying a multi-generational family game last night??  What a loss.  Such a simple joy!
