A Deck of Cards and Thou


I recently taught my 10-yr-old how to play Gin Rummy. It didn't take her long to get the hang of it and beat ME! Now she wants to play every chance we get. Yesterday, she spent a couple of hours playing Gin with my Mom -- which took me back to my own childhood. I remember one summer many years ago when my Mom was pregnant and on bed rest. We spent hours every day playing Gin.

Sometimes when my daughter and I are playing, my 18-year-old will tear himself away from his computer screen and join us for a few rounds.

It is amazing that with all the techno gadgets these kids have, they can still have fun with a deck of cards.
