Dominoes and Grandpa K.

Last night I attended a game night at my friends' house, and we wanted to take a break from the traditional Peanuts/Dutch Blitz game that we usually play...so we busted out Dominoes. When was the last time you played that game?? For me, it's been a very very long time. I think the last time I have played was when my Grandpa Kleinsasser was alive, and we used to play that game ALL THE TIME! So last night when my friends and I played, I thought of Grandpa K and missed him so much. My friends played the game differently than my grandpa taught me back in the day...and it made me miss him even more. I can just hear him say "Allison, let's play Chicken Scratch Dominoes," and we'd sit at the end of my parents' kitchen table and play for hours and hours. My grandpa K would have been 99 this March...miss him much!

I know how you feel. I miss my grandparents too.

Doug & I just got back from Miami and we saw a group of people playing in a dominoes tournament in "Little Havana". Guess who I thought about? Looked like fun.
