 Ma doesn’t allow cards in the house.  That is, cards with kings, queens and jacks.  We have a card game called Authors that we play a lot.  Each card has a picture of some Author such as Dickens, Mark Twain, Longfellow etc.  There are four pictures of each author with three of his works written under the picture and at the top.

As an example we will say you have three pictures of Mark Twain in your hand.  You still need Huckleberry Finn to make a book of four so you can lay them down.  When it is your turn to play you will ask one of the players for Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain.  If he has it in his hand he will give it to you and you have a book to lay down.

Sure, lets play a game or two.

Well, you sure did have beginners luck but it was fun.  Now we’ll have an apple and donut and get ready for bed. 

Yes these are good apples.  They’re Jonathan.  Pa buys a barrel of them every fall
