Fried Crappie? Sounds interesting. You're dinner makes me hungry for tomatoes. I miss having a garden. Glad your dad is better.
We play chickenfoot all the time except we call it Mexican Dominoes. We're all ruthless at that game. My own MIL will crush and destroy her small grandchild just to win. We always have a good time playing that game, except when Grandma makes Jonah cry. Grrrrr...
Oh, yeah. Today is Juneteenth (June 19th). :^DI used to play Mexican Dominoes as well. Very similar. I remember when I was introduced to Chickenfoot by my parents. Mom loved that game.
Usually when a group of Meek's get together, a game of 42 breaks out. This must be a first. Of course, had we stayed longer and/or had it been a bigger group of us, I'm sure it woulda happened.
