Free on 40th Street

My sister and I were driving downtown to get her return train ticket to New York. Buying in person at the ticket window she saved almost 40$ instead of buying online. What is that about? Mary encouraged me to get out of the car to get a better shot so I parked. We stopped on the way home.

Maura Found This Gem in Minnesota

from Minnesota granddaughter Maura (17) wrote

Gull Lake, Minnesota, right outside the town Nisswa. I was on a walk after dinner with Greta. Her family of 100+ people stay at a local resort and spend the week at the lake!

I love her photo so much. What a great writing prompt! And that she saw it and thought of me!

Look whom I met at #OpenStreetsPGH

My friend Jen suggested I take my family to #OpenStreetsPGH Sunday morning. So glad she clued us in on this event. Perfect summer weather. Thanks Jen.

Some grim tales. A card game from my Childhood. 

Each family is made up of 4 cards.

Have you ever played Happy Families?


Happy Families
 is a traditional British card game usually with a specially made set of picture cards, featuring illustrations of fictional families of four, most often based on occupation types. The object of the game is to collect complete families, and the game is similar to Go Fish- Wikipedia
