From the Thousand Trails Lake Conroe Preserve, Willis, Texas.
Back to cousin Lawanna’s for family time. Some of the family had gone to the renaissance fair. Gerri , I, Glenna, Curtis Ford and Lawanna played a game new to us. Curtis had a lesspolite name for Revenge. It’s an easy to learn fast game. Everyone starts with three coins, your choice of denomination. A card is dealt to each player, in turn all players but the dealer can trade cards with tier neighbor on the left. The dealer is the last player and turns his card over, the dealer then has the choice of playing the card he has or drawing the next one off the deck. The player with the lowest card puts a coin in the pot. The last player with a coin or coins wins the pot. As ech player runs out of coins they are sang out of the game; nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah nah, hey hey goodbye.
After Lael, another cousin Lael Miler, Gloria Ford and two co-workers of Lael’s got home from the fair we played some more Revenge and other card games.
Mark suggested we grill burgers and hotdogs instead of going out for supper. That idea was approved and he went to the store. By this time Karla Shuler and Lael’s son Matthew and his girlfriend had joined the group.
We had excellent hamburgers and hotdogs fixed as you like them, fixed by yourself afte Mark grilled them. Sides of beans and chili were also available.
We went back to the park at about 7:30 PM. Glenna is going with Curtis and Gloria back to Corpus Christi in the morning. So had to get her things together and be up in time to get her back to Spring by 9 AM.
