all right this is a different picture

In the last entry I claimed they were two different.
Clever eye of Shoshanah revealed to me that I might have a reason to doubt myself. Hmm
Is it still amazing or what?????

Lovely Kitties

these really are two different pictures


Now this was nearly as impossible as the last puzzle!!!
But we persevered. It must have been the below freezing temps...
I think Zelma would like this puzzle.

three pictures of the most aggravating puzzle ever

these are pictures of another one of our most stimuating activities
the candy cane puzzle is 39 inches long!!!
we had to use 2 card tables to put it together

Rematch a Must

Interesting game today, I lost by one point. That is not all that interesting in itself. What was most distressful was along the way Mumsey managed to put 3 cards in her crib. Thus she only had 3 cards in her hand to play and a five card crib!!! How could she not notice her short hand? Well I did and also her fat crib. So she let me remove one card unseen from her crib and then she counted the points. That removed card obviously was a part of her short hand. And of course it all worked out in her favor. I think that is a lot of suspicious cribbaging. To appease me, she said if the game ended being a close game we would have a rematch later today. Hmmm, I wonder if either of us will remember to play again today? Our schedule is so tight here.

Whew!

Where do these months go? Most likely the reason that there is no post for September is that I am losing. All September, Mumsey has been successfully getting superior hands. I mean like 24 in her hand and 20 in the crib! She will have the lovely 6,5,5,4 combo in several variations and then what should appear but just the one needed to make the 24 hand. Today, she even commented whether I had actually shuffled! And what should she display as her hand unfolded but another variation of that same combo. Usually, when this happens I always think it is on her deal and her lack of shuffle style but surely when I deal I have done enough shuffle shuffle. So there you have it avid cribbage fans, the daily cribbage game is on for each day of the month of September. I will leave you in suspense for a few more days as to just how much Mumsey is ahead. Perhaps before the month is out I will have made a come back.....

I won August!

Mumsey, aka my mother, aka Grandma Eck, aka great grandma, made a valiant effort this month. There were times when she might have been 6 or so games behind, but the final score for August was 16 to 15. Thrills galore during the month.

6th Win!

I won again today but so far I am alive. My mother is disgruntled but still has hope for a future win.
