I am not a card player, mostly played board games and dominos. Can't get enough of Mah Jongg.

Nonie and Bare; No playing "Old Maid" for you two. We can all get together and teach you. Bright and Susan too. Sam is a master and a good teacher. We will have so much fun playing ,chatting ,eating , gossiping....... :bigthumbsup: :bigthumbsup:

What a good looking group for lunch. Makes my heart warm to see some of my dear friends together like that. Few missing, but we will be there some other time.

Now Mahjong...has anyone ever played Bunco? Could you have several tables, in Mahjong, play a round or so and move to the next table/partner like you do in Bunco? This group is growing. Does that work?

Oh, can we have dorky little prizes????? I have some white elephants I can't toss but could easily give as prizes... laughing, cause now someone else would be stuck with it...oh especially Nonie, she couldn't throw it away either.

[nONIE]

Beady,

Thanks for the vote of confidence!

Even if I cant catch on to the game I will be an active participant in the chatting, eating and gossiping, Im an expert in those departments. :,

[beady]

No fair Susan...... we've already gotten rid of our white elephants. : :


Not a bad idea ......moving from table to table. I was in a game Sunday with 2 tables, one red, one black. The hostess had eight playing cards from a deck ....4 black,4 red, you drew a card and played at the coresponding table.

[renielarson]

We have had Euchre parties with large groups of friends. You move table to table and it's so much fun! In fact, Mr. Bright knows how to set up the tables so no one has the same partner twice during the evening. Maybe we could Mah Jong one time, Bunco another, and Euchre another.

As for white elephant gifts...

[beady]

Bright... could you do me a favor and edit out the double chin...... doh doh

not a flattering photo of me, the rest of you all look great..... Had fun, nice lunching with the ladies and gents.

[renielarson]

Beady

You are beautiful! Wasn't it a fun afternoon? I'm hoping we all can do it again sometime soon.

[nanci2539]

It was fun for me to meet three great ladies (and two fine gents). Sam; Bright and Beady made me feel welcomed. It's hard being brand new, getting lost walking out the front door, not knowing anyone, etc. To be invited out to lunch to meet friends I've posted with for so long now, made for a wonderful and nice day for me. Thanks!

I think this is a good thing, today I watched as the auctioneers loaded up a huge moving van chocked full to the top with a collection of treasures from the past 37 years. They also took away Eng. guys 1950 ford pickup that he so lovingly restored. I didnt feel bad really, just couldnt believe how much a family can accumulate over the years.

As I look around I realize that there is so much more that needs to GO and this was just the beginning.

Chels, ya listening GF. Its gone, arent ya proud of me???

[renielarson]

Nonie

Did you choke up a little bit as the truck was driving away? I think I would have and know my day is coming soon.

[Barefoot]

Sounds like you had a wonderful lunch .. nice to see the happy faces
that I miss so much.

Nonie .. That truck driving away full of your treasures brings you closer to living in TV. Good for you. Some day soon you'll all be there full time; and Mom2Five and I will still be exiled to Canada every six months.

But six months in the Bubble is better than nothing.

It's so nice to see a picture with some of the peeps from TOTV. Faces with names is great. What a nice welcome for you Nanci.
