I never cease to be amazed at the fountain of information that comes from you group of ladies. There are actually different types of domino games? My dh's family were rabid players, along with cards, I stink at both, in fact got the poopoo beat out of me playing cribbage with dh last night. NO FAIR NO FAIR, aren't men supposed to be gentlemen?
Maggie: Well that doesn't seem right that you can't change the posting number. Oh, well we are fine the way it is. You know, us older folks have it all over the younger ones for having fun! They see getting flat on the floor drunk in a bar as a whoopeee and we have a blast playing cards, games, etc with friends. I have always loved having friends over and playing cards or whatnot. My sil and dd don't like it and the one other couple we know here are sweet but have no interest either so I really miss it. I love to play Euchre, though again, I am a cowardly player and not very good. DH is a killer at all this stuff so at least it is good to have him for a partner though when we play with my sister and bil it is always men against women. Thank goodness she plays pretty well herself!
Jean: I love cobbler and pretty much hate crust type fruit pie. Stupid I know, but it is a mind thing and with my mind... well you know! I don't think I have ever had any kind of fresh fruit cobbler. I would sure like to try sometime. One thing I really like and most people don't is rhubarb/ strawberry. I grew up eating rhubarb my grandma and mom canned every year and loved the slimy ole stuff when they would cook, sugar and can or freeze it. I never had the pie/cobbler until we went to this restaurant in Amish country in Indiana called Das Essenhaus. Now if you want to EAT, boy go there. You can dine in what they call family style. You get fried chicken and then you can pick either one or two other meats (baked steak, ham, or roast beef), you have a choice of green beans or corn, then you get a salad with this to die for homemade ranch, sweet n sour, or french type dressing, mash pot (real ones not instants), gravy, amish noodles, dressing, and a piece of pie for dessert. They have about 30 varieties of pie. My favorite so far (I am working my way down the list
whenever we visit) is Red Raspberry Cream. It is a custard base, red raspberry filling and a good 1/2 inch of whip cream on top. UMMMMUMMM!
As for the movie, I would have named it something else, but who am I to say. It is actually, Pirates of the Carribean, The Curse of the Black Pearl. The black pearl is a pirate ship in the Carribean and uhhhh, it is cursed. Now there is a brainiac title for you! Actually, all kidding aside, it was a good movie and fun because there wasn't a bunch of naked, cursing stuff going on to take away from the plot of the movie.
I watched Wedding Planner on I think it was TNT last night and it is cute, but seems like Jennifer Lopez keeps making the basic same kind of movie, girl meets boy, loves him, can't have him, but boy has to have her, boy and girl get together and live happily ever after kind of movie. Maid in Manhatten is almost exactly like Wedding Planner. I rented How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days last weekend and THAT was funny. Kate Hudson is a dead ringer for her mom Goldie Hawn and even talks and laughs like her. It was really a cute movie.
Well, now that I have filled you in on all the movies, (we a movie fans and I could go on and on with what we have seen in the last 6 months) I won't bore you. If you like history, I would certainly rent Gods and Generals when it comes out. It is a good civil war flick.
Well, need to go about time to get into the pool!
