Game Night Every Night

I come from a family of game players. Canasta, Dominos, Boggle and Yahtzee were big competitions in our house. Big Guy’s family played a mean game of Pitch. My FIL and I were ruthless players against Big Guy and his mom.

As the years progressed, we played less often especially as our parents aged and could no longer be active members in the game. Unfortunately, our parents are no longer with us, but we are finding our love of the games again.

Going through boxes, I found the directions to play Pitch. Memories of games in the past roared into my head. Then I found the retro Yahtzee game from the 1950’s with the price tag still on the box. Shopper’s Fair asked $.88 for the box of score pads. Again, I was transported back to nights of shaking the dice hoping for a Yahtzee.

We have purposely brought these games back into our lives. Happy Hour is now “happier” with the shaking of dice, and martinis, on the front porch. Life is good!
