Sorry you lost your chat . Hope you slept well last night.
Almost lost my chat this morning.
Left chat to find a picture and when I came back could not post the picture.
I always copy and paste the chat before I leave…just in case.

Happy Memorial Day. Remember and Honor. A rainy start for the day with sunshine in afternoon. High temperature will be 72°. A nice afternoon for those having picnics We watched the end of PGA golf⛳ and last night some poker shows we had on tape. We use to host family poker nights. So much fun and laughs. Used real poker chips. Hot dogs and sauerkraut in crock pot a favorite and sloppy Joes too. . Fun memories. Today I will do some cleaning I can handle…..clean the toaster, inside refrigerator and stove top burner drip trays. Grilled Swiss cheese w/tomato… Read more »

On summer nights, my mom used to play card games (Canasta or Tripoli/Michigan Rummy) with me and my neighborhood friends on our back screened in porch. Just this Mother’s day one of those friend’s commented when I posted a photo of my mom that she gasped when she saw it, loved my mom, and fondly remembered those card game days.

How sweet that your friend remembered card games with your mom. My mom loved family poker nights….she was pretty good at playing poker too.
Chris I see many “likes” from ” Guests” is that you? If not….. I wonder who “Guest” is….wish they would join us.

Chris, my Gramma was a big card player; she, her sisters, nieces and other family members would play every Friday night; they took turns hosting and those are the games they played, Michigan Rummy being the far and away favorite. Of course it was, Gram was a great poker player, playing for pennies/nickels, had no tell and always came out ahead. Thanks for the memory jogger 💗

I remember When my aunt & Uncle visited from Michigan, them and my parents played Michigan Rummy and Canasta to all hours of the night.. Card games were big with us growing up,, We would Rummy and ,Hearts with my cousins and when I would go to Ohio to visit we would always play card games.. thanks for the memories.. We are big board game players when our immediate families get together…so fun…

What’s funny is that my dad thought games of any kind were a waste of time, though he loved watching TV. So he never joined us and shared in those memories with us.

that IS funny…I think tv is more of a waste of time…with games you are spending time with people and they are fun. My parents played euchre some nights and my mom played for years with relatives on her side…they don’t do that as often now and she misses it.

Church and we had three baptisms at church today. We have a baptism pool behind the area up front just for this purpose. We used to go down to Black Lake for our baptisms, and I kind of miss that. Each person gives/reads their testimony beforehand. Anyway the pastor’s twin daughters got baptized so that was kind of emotional. Then off to pick up steaks for dinner tonight (the assignment I was given). Got home and didn’t do much useful this afternoon. We got together with DBIL & DSIL to play Bocce ball. Never really had played that before. I… Read more »

I remember Gramma calling Memorial Day Decoration Day and it was always May 30th. The Fed deciding it should be a 3-day weekend removed the somberness that Memorial Day deserves. 😔
Didn’t feel like watching the war-stories on TCM today; glad Hallmark had the 3-episode Matchmaker series on with Danica McKellar — murder and mayhem; may as well have watched the war-movies 🙄
