KING OF ROUTINE, GAME NIGHT

My sister in law Pampering Pap's Pampered Riding Mower

My Father-in-Law would have been 86 years old today!
He left us with special memories of a caring husband and father. I will never forget how well he took care of everything he owned, especially his riding mower. Actually, he was the king of routine.

In the fall he completely emptied gas from the mower and filled the tank with paper towels, removed the spark plugs, greased the fittings, removed all fuses, waxed the entire mower and even covered it with a blanket! His daughter Jeanne took over putting the mower to bed after his death in 2011. (above picture) He is missed. (I hope my riding mower doesn't see this blog.)

We are looking forward to Game Nights in 2018!

Caleb Man and Hannah Banana

These are pictures of a game night a few years ago with two of our grandkids. We enjoyed TREATS and TABOO, LAUGHS and the board game LIFE.

The game Taboo is a word game and got a little crazy since the hour glass didn't allow much time to guess many words. Even though Caleb is 8 years old he gave terrific clues to his Nana.

The Board Game known as LIFE was originally created in 1860. It simulates a person's travels through his or her life, from college to retirement, with jobs, marriage, and possible children along the way. Our banker Hannah Banana did a great job counting all of our money. In the end, each of us made more than ONE MILLION dollars!

QUIET GAME NIGHT

Thought we would be spending a nice, quiet evening with two of our granddaughters. Instead, we had a wild and crazy time with two fun loving, incredible and competitive Monopoly players. Summertime and AveryLady are special.

SPECIAL TIME WITH SPECIAL LADIES

Since we have 12 grand kids, game nights are important. The nights provide a "one on one" alternative to times with the entire tribe. Special things always happen. Tonight one of the girls said, "I've never played this game before, but went on to beat the socks off of us." She insisted on taking the score sheet home and it will probably end up somewhere on social media.

Banana and M&M

Another game night next week...with AveryLady and Summertime. Can't wait! Love these special evenings!

LOOKS AREN'T EVERYTHING, GAME NIGHT

One morning last spring I took this picture of a 15 year old pear tree in our front yard. It was beginning to blossom on schedule - which got me to thinking.

ANOTHER GAME NIGHT

Two professional soccer stars visited with us last evening for treats and games, and a movie.

"TATE MAN" soccer skills are enhanced by his VERY COOL HAIR

"BECKETT MAN" soccer skills are enhanced by HIS CUTENESS

Since we have 11 grandkids (soon to be 12) these game nights are important. The nights provide a "one on one" alternative to times with the entire tribe. Special things happen, even when picking them up and taking them home. Last night on the way home it sounded like an American Idol audition coming from the backseat in the truck.

One more game night next week with AveryLady and Summertime. Can't wait! Love these special evenings!
