Game night

I enjoy playing games, on my computer, on my Nexus, on paper (I'm a real Sudoko fan), but what I enjoy most is a real live game with other people.  This evening my daughter and her kids spent some time here and we played Mexican Train.  We had a lot of fun and it made me remember game playing when I was a child - my parents were fierce Euchre players and my cousins and brother and I engaged in some marathon Monoply games'  As our children were growing up my husband and I played lots of games with them, starting with Candyland (which I never won) and carrying on through the years.
A few months ago I attended the funeral of a cousin and each of his children, as they spoke at the service, remembered the fun they had had playing games as a family.
I hope my kids and grandkids have the same good memories.
