I spent some time this afternoon playing a card game, Hand and Foot, with friends. We met at one player's home in Cedarburg and the five of us "rotated" around her table since only four could play at one time. It turned out to be one of the most laugh-filled afternoons in a long time.
The newly waxed table meant cards were slipping and sliding all over the place. As the sun began to move into the west it beamed through her big kitchen windows making it difficult to see the cards. So she used tape to try to hold the panels closed. Players forgot their count, one player (me) tried to go out before having the correct number of hands - two red and two black (using wild cards). We were beginning the count when my partner said "Wait a minute! We only have one red hand!" Ooops.
It just went on and on and happily everyone shared in the goofs and missteps so no one felt like a complete dunce. And we all agreed that laughter is the best medicine.
After I got home we got ready to have dinner at a friend's new apartment so we had an evening with conversation and more laughter.
Back home about 9:30 I went to change into my pajamas.....and what's wrong with this picture?
