I knew as soon as I taught him to play Cribbage, Beau would become obsessed! He tracks EVERYTHING and has a notebook that shows our wins and losses and any outstanding hands. I have been in a Losing Streak like no other I’ve ever had, so he’s enjoying it greatly. The worm will turn!
In the Army it was Euchre that we played on breaks and in the evenings. He already knows that, as it’s a must to play at his various hunting camps. We play with his brother and his wife when we get together. Tammy & I always win. Always. :)
Ha! I have lived in the Midwest now about 35 years. I didn’t learn how to play euchre until about 8 or 9 years ago, when I discovered that some of the women in the neighborhood played once a month. We barely knew a soul, other than a few neighbors and some people at church, so I was desperate enough to want to learn the game. As empty nesters, you have no kids in the school system, so it is harder to meet people. I jumped at the chance to become a sub for one lady that overwintered in Florida. Then her husband got sick, so I became a permanent player, and she became one of the substitutes. The ladies tell me I picked it up quickly, but that’s because I practiced with a game app to sort it all out. I do win fairly frequently, but not always.
Side note on the birds, Mrs. RB Grosbeak just showed up at the feeders, so I’m guessing Mr was here on Saturday after all. They both seem very hungry.
