Well, I must say Grandma didn't give me much to go with here. If I knew more about Nancy's little toe surgery, I would go on and on with details about that. However, I am just going to pick a topic of my own.
Back in the day, our family played a lot of cards after family meals. I mean a lot. The games I remember most are Manipulation, and 99, and Squeak. We also played Kings Wild and Tripoly. I vote that we get back to more cards. They are good for the mind, keep people (especially me) from munching on the leftovers too much, and I think I have read that laughter is good for the digestion.
I don't know if the photo was taken on a day when we played cards, but I love how Bill and Grandma look soooo thrilled to be sitting next to each other. And an ashtray!! The horror! I can't remember the last time there was one of those on the table at a family event. Granted, there is a little bit of smoking that goes on outside the house, but not inside.
The "little toe surgery" was in fact having my hammer toes fixed (little toes) on both feet. Lynn and Kyleah took me to the foot doctor and home after. I remember that when they came to take me home they brought me some flowers. I thought that was so sweet of them. I got to walk around in those horrible ugly wooden clogs for what seemed forever. Not a fun experience but at least my toes didn't hurt anymore.
