Activities

I also enjoy many different activities. Playing cards has always been a major pastime for me. I started playing when I was very young. I remember learning pinochle when I was 7 and it is still my favorite card game. I could play cards for hours, because it is so enjoyable. Euchre, Cribbage, Casino, 500 Rummy, Honolulu Rummy, Oh Hell, and Golf are also some of my favorite card games.

I also am somewhat of a social director in a couple of circles. I arrange and schedule a monthly poker game with some friends. We rotate turns as host and have a great time. Since I was president of our high school class for four years, I also plan and schedule our annual class reunions. Ours is a potluck, with live music (yours truly on drums) and lots of laughter. In 2018, we invited some of our former teachers. It was quite the time.

Board games are also a wonderful way to enjoy friends and food. You will find me where there is laughter, mocking, and food! Some of my favorites are Monopoly, Balderdash, Scattergories, Clue, and Life. Hard to beat the classics that we played as a family when I was young.

For years, I wasn’t much of a reader, but now read every night for 30-45 minutes before bed. I love books about espionage, conspiracy, and intrigue. There are so many great authors.

I also love jigsaw puzzles. Though I haven’t worked on one for a few years, I so enjoy putting on some nice music and working on a puzzle. Speaking of puzzles, I also enjoy Dell variety puzzle books. There are so many different games.
