Canasta

I found this post on Heidi Swapps blog
It made me laugh and made me think of this past weekend

"You can’t make footprints in the sands of time
if you’re sitting on your butt.
And who wants to make buttprints in the sands of time?"

- Bob Moawad

While the "boys" were out playing in the snow/mud and doing the things boys do
the girls were inside where it was toasty warm playing games and sitting on our butts.
We are quite the competative group when it comes to our games--
The new game this weekend that held us captive was an oldie.....
CANASTA.
You are asking yourself as we did "Isn't that a game that old people play?"
It is the same question that was posed by all that came in
and i think i even thought it at one time
for some reason while playing it i felt like i should be talking with a New York accent.
Just my little wierdness. And yes Canasta has been around since the 50's--
isn't it funny how everything old is new again?
We definitly play games in cycles--
what will next years game be....HMMMM
