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
