Remember when we all first got our computers and couldn't wait to play games and games of Solitaire? Then when we got really good we jumped to Free Cell.....and maybe a few games of Spider Solitaire thrown in for good measure.....
I cannot tell a lie when I say I got really hooked on the wonder games of my computer....even now I play Dream Day Wedding, then I found Bejeweled Blitz courtesy of my Facebook page......but I still long for the good ole days of board games....nothing beat spending a rainy or snowy afternoon playing Monopoly or Clue (Miss Scarlett in the Conservatory with the candlestick; what in the heck was a 'conservatory' anyway?)......but my favorite game of all is Pay Day. I never really played that game in my youth. A dear, dear friend brought it over to play on one of those wintery days.....what a time we had spending money, taking out loans, fighting over properties (the best we called the Big Kahuna:Two Acres of Vacationland; the worst: the Power Boat). I haven't played that game for a while......the dear friend is gone and I just can't bring myself to play it with anyone else.....
Why do people come into our lives and then leave? Is it true that we rely on others so much that we can't spend time alone with ourselves? I love my down time, I truly do.....but there are long lost friends who I would love to talk to once again, see once in a while and maybe play a fun board game.
Pay Day anyone?
