I spent this Thanksgiving at Kelly & Jeff’s with my Aunt Sue. This is the second year we’ve all gotten together in Virginia to celebrate. Family, turkey, football, and games: these are a few of my favorite things.
boy your packers really sucked that one up! (feel free to insult the giants at will.)
what is mancala?
mancala is probably my single most favorite game!
football, one of your favorite things? I’m surprised that you even watched the packer game.
Here is more info on mancala. Kelly, Jeff & Sue had never played before but were addicted in after about 2 rounds.
Maybe I should have said “Packers” instead of “Football”. I have had it on the past few Sundays though.. not really watching it, but still.
okay, i looked at the history, tried some online version of it, but don’t get it (i was too lazy to read about it). you’ll have to teach me about it sometime.
mancala is a game i used to play in the philippine islands. we used shells or small rocks.d
We again missed you all on Thanksgiving. And we missed playing Mancala. Dick has it too and we sometimes play it there. Stephie just wanted to play Rack-O (your old game Rachelle). We had fun too.
