For week 21, Sally asked us to reminisce.
During the past few months, the kiddo has become adept at playing cards. She's been playing Uno since she was four, but lately, she's graduated to Phase 10 and a multi player gin-type game called Five Crowns.
The kiddo's new found love makes me remember playing cards as a child.
When I was about the kiddo's age, my dad, tired of playing Crazy 8s and Slap Jack, taught me poker. After that, I learned Gin and Rummy.
As I grew older, I watched the adults in my family play Euchre. My dad explained the rules and, eventually, I was allowed to play. Oh, that was an exciting day!
Playing Euchre with my grandfather was a favorite way to spend a Sunday afternoon. He loved nothing better than playing cards and shooting the breeze with the other players.
It's been quite a while since Grandpa has been able to play cards. He still teases me, though. :)
Sally, thank you for the trip down memory lane.

I don't know how many of you play Euchre, but it's a quick little game that only uses 9s through aces. Each hand consists of five tricks. One team calls trump and tries to win three of the tricks.

Grandpa was notorious for calling trump on next to nothing and getting the three requisite tricks. I can still remember the way he would smile when he pulled off an almost impossible point.
Playing cards with Grandpa was always fun. He would tease me about going set. I would pass the bid hoping to set him. Sometimes it worked, though most of the time, it didn't.
