Just how far would you travel to play a game of dominoes? We've enjoyed games in a sailboat's cockpit in the Virgin Islands, at our dining room table in Bay View and now in an RV in Lake Geneva.
Dominoes is one of those games (even though the rules seem to change a bit every time you read them) that allows you to talk and laugh while you play. It's a friendly game that lets you develop a friendship as you play.
We've recently met a couple that we seem to "connect" with - on several levels. They are rather new to the area, as are we, they have a nice RV for travel so we share that explore-it gene as well. They like to read, seem to share our politics, and they are both just plain fun to be with.
It can be hard to make new friends as an adult. Moving means starting over and trying to connect with a few couples that you can quickly and easily call to meet for a movie, or a quick meal, or a game of dominoes. And to find a couple where both the wives and the husbands seem to "click" can be even harder to do.
So happily we drove to Lake Geneva for a one-night RV trip. Threw a few things in the refrigerator, packed one change of clothing, Fenway's "stuff", our pillows and off we went. All for a fun meal sitting around a picnic table, a rousing game of dominoes and a delicious shared breakfast. It wasn't too far to go to spend time with friends.
So glad we "found" them!
