Always as October approaches I miss my grandma Carmen more than usual. Today I was remembering when I was a kid, and my grandma was alive, the family would get together for dinners and game nights. Some times there was dancing and singing. But there would be gathering to play games. I miss that. The laughter...the sharing of every day life with aunts, uncles and cousins. A lot of weeks it would just be me, uncle Richard and grandma playing after dinner. Some of the games:
- Clue.
- Twister.
- Milestone.
- Mouse trap.
- Game of Life.
- Masterpiece.
- Trouble.
- Sorry.
- Monopoly.
- Yahtzee. (hours and hours of Yahtzee)
- Operation.
- Parcheesi.
- Battle Ship.
- Headache.
- Mystery Date.
- Cootie.
- Old Maid.
- Booby Trap.
- Dynamite Shack.
- Concentration.
- Hands down.
- High -Ho Cherry-O.
Of course hours and hours of card games too. We had a hall closet filled to the brim with games. On family dinner nights we would bring a game too...many fond memories.
