Well, I was anyway. Actually, I do not think it makes a link. Do take the time though to copy it.
Last day of the month for our daily cribbage scores. I know my mother is the winner for June by a landslide. Because that is the case, neither one of us has bothered to count the specific wins/losses. If she says nothing about it I will wait until I am ahead in some future month so I can remind her of her June victory. She wanted to play the makeup game for the one we missed but I said it was not necessary since I was such a loser.

Okay, here it is

The long awaited answer to how I could possibly miss a day of cribbage. Drum roll please...
Yard work! Specifically, roses with their endless need for trimming and then the rose feeding and the weed pulling in the rose beds. Lawn watering and mowing came in as a close second. And then there are the zucchini and their midday leaf wilting. I feel so sorry for them that I have to go deliver them buckets of water even though I am wilting as well. I have to get my own water!

Can you believe it? I cannot!

Yesterday, we completely forgot to play cribbage! Tomorrow, or in the next post, I will show you a picture of one of the things that took us away from our routine. It is a rare day when cribbage is missed. I even talked about playing in the afternoon and still we forgot to play! When I told my mother about the lack of cribbage playing (she had naturally assumed that I won yesterday), she simply said "We didn't? I thought you won. We will just have to play two games today." Now we will see whether the second game happens.I am guessing it will not....

The Calendar!

Finally, the day to view this month's cribbage calendar. I have not counted my wins/losses but I can safely say I am behind!!!!

The Boards before the Game

Finally, a picture of the cribbage boards and cards. This is pregame and most of the time postgame as both of us immediately return our pegs to the starting line once the winner finishes. Of course, we have to count how many holes remain for the loser so we can enter the who won/who lost information on the calendar. Also who had the first crib. Perhaps tomorrow you will find a picture of the current calendar!!!

My opponent or my compatriot in the daily cribbage.

My mother and I are avid cribbage players. We play every day. For the longest time, she always thought she was a loser so to prove that she actually won quite often we started keeping track of who won and who lost. So for the last several years we mark the daily scores on a calendar and then tally for the month and the year the overall winner and loser. This is a picture of my mother doing another of our favorite things, putting together a jigsaw puzzle. However that favorite is only a recent mania.

here today, gone tomorrow?

In this moment, I post my first blog. Will it be the last? Check tomorrow for the answer. Or maybe the next day....

First Post may be last post

Being new to an actual real blog, I was not sure how to publish. So there could have been no first post at all. Thought I would add a picture.
