In the midst of all the excitement during the Thanksgiving holiday weekend- family in town and excessive consumption of food- I only took a few pictures. Of a board game. No photos documenting the abundant and gorgeous feast, no pictures of family members in town (some of the Staffs came out for the first time in a few years!) But in a way board games make me think about holidays, of time set away to while away the hours in these mostly relaxing pursuits. When I was a girl, I used to love this game though the "sorry' line could get a bit old. I don't think I had played it since I was a kid and Mrs. D would come over to babysit all of us. It was fun to revisit it again.
Well, I'll be looking forward to maybe a bit more lounging and game playing soon as we plan to gather again with extended family at Christmas. In the meantime I should keep myself going full-force as there's still lots of holiday preparing to do. I'm trying to take lots of deep breaths.

I LOVE Sorry!! I was so excited to get Pay her first board games this year for Christmas. Chutes and Ladders, Candy Land, and Hi-Ho Cherry-O. Nothing better than board games next to the fire in the wintertime.
Oh yes. I am a lone board game lover here...not enough people around willing to fire up the old dice. Shame. Enjoy your gaming...and deep breathing. I have accepted the fact I won't get as much pre christmas preparing in as I usually do this year but as an escape is in the planning for the meantime I don't mind much at all....maybe I should sneak some boardgames along with me?
I loved Sorry! growing up. What a blast from the past!
Sorry! I forgot all about hat classic game! Will have to add to our game pile! happy holidays!
