#48 - Don't Like Games for Two

Yahtzee for Two

Actually I love playing games with Don. We've been playing games together for over 40 years.

But, he usually beats me in the games that involve strategy. I need to win more, in Pandemic Times. I'm luckier with our games of Yahtzee, but I get tired of that one.

Game Playing in the Past

My skills are better with games like Charades and Pictionary and Cranium. But they require more people and we only have 2 quarantining in this house.

Actually it's not the games I miss, but the family members who like playing games! In 2005, Don and I hunkered down with my mom and Scott, to await the arrival of Hurricane Rita. On Mother's Day, a half year later, we had Heidi home from college and played some more. Love those home-time-game-memories.


Puzzle Time

We have tons of puzzles in this house and lot of goofy games, too.

Puzzles are perfect for quarantine time. Very therapeutic. You can work on puzzles  alone or together... talking or not... music or  podcasts or nothing.

Puzzle Sharing

It's actually been fun to see how many people are suddenly doing puzzles. On Facebook and Instagram, there are lots of puzzle postings.

What I really love, is that our kids are also working on puzzles, as they hunker down. Don and I actually packaged up a few we'd already done and sent them to the kids. How crazy is that in 2020, we have been chatting with our kids about puzzles. Strategies, problems with puzzles... favorite puzzles. These conversations crack me up.

​These are puzzling times!
