The Most Memorable Poker Game

To All,

  I have found a new favorite past time.  That is to play poker with my neighbors and friends with poker chips of course.  No money involved, just dignity when I manage to lose 5500 poker chips in the "all in" hand.

  In the midst of the poker game, David had put our precious one down to sleep.  IN the middle of silence, while shuffling the deck for the next hand, we all heard distinctly a sweet voice cry out "Momma."  With my heart in my mouth, I hurried back to him, and there he was in his radiant glory of cuteness looking over his crib railing at me, arms outsteched and he began to belly laugh.  I cried at this point, and picked him up.

  I of course made a Very big deal of this, and the neighbor and my husband rejoiced in this.  My son is so amazing and hopefully one of these days we may add on to the Moynihan-Flippin family again.

  I wanted to add this, becuase in all of that utterance of the one word, these last few days were made right, and all is okay.

  Life is Good and Good enough is more than enough for me.  With David-Lee thrown in, life is heavenly.  What a blessing children are.  How good God is.

  And on this note, I must bid my adius for the night.

  Sleep well all.

  Sincerely,



  Anne C. McGuire

Now teach him poker. We don't have chips but play penny poker out of the penny jar. I can beat the pants off Michael and I love it! We went to a casino once and I had a ball. It's a good thing we don't have money because I think I would like poker too much!

hebrewroots98:
Me too Jennie. 
Sorry, but, I won't even allow myself to play those games or go to a casino, as I would enjoy it too much and probably become addicted to it.  (My mother has been and still is so addicted to gambling (in the little league ways of ...horse racing, bingo, lottery tickets, casinos, card playing, etc...) all of my life it has been around me and I've lived the poverty that comes from it.

Now I love other games (sharades, pictionary, scrabble, balderdash, bibleopoly, etc...)

Anne, when is game night?  We keep trying to no avail....

Susan,

  I had completely forgotton.  Okay we need to come up with game night, but let's come up with it sometime after March.  We have come over with the sole intention of playing games, but then your mouth as well as mine and our dear hubbies get to working, much to the dismay of your very smart 8 year old, and we do anything but play games.

  I would like to get together in March sometime and just shoot the breeze.  I am sure we could regale eachother with some pretty good stuff in the intervening weeks.

  If anyone lives close to the Lubbock Texas area, let us know, and I would like to get together and have some fellowship with some of you all who live in this area.  That would be fun.  We could BBQ <winks at Susan> and have the time of our lives.  Maybe indulge in some "friendly" poker or some discussions over Ray's papers.  [NOTE:  Friendly means no money.  Chips are free.]

Jennie,

  We have actually got an invitation stating from one of the maintenacne men that work in our apartment complex if we were playing for pennies in poker to let him know.  Our next door neighbors want in on the deal to, so that would be pretty cool.

  My son will grow up knowing how to play poker, he just better not win the "all in" hand LOL if Mommy is playing.   ;)

  Sincerely,



  Anne C. McGuire
