Yesterday marked the last day of Game & Puzzle Week. One thing we haven’t done in quite a while is play cards on holidays. It’s hard to get everyone together with enough time to play, and there are other things that make it challenging. Plus we usually just enjoy talking and catching up, since health issues and concerns keep us apart a lot.
Apparently, even the world’s earliest civilizations created games to play. I found this public domain photo of a Pompeiian mural that shows “an innkeeper throwing two brawling backgammon competitors out of his establishment.”
Some things never change. As Lynne and I well know, backgammon can definitely be a mood! Happy birthday to you, Lynne, and may you make lots more game memories to laugh about.
