All I know is that you show a pair of Aces. <br /><br />I am glad that you were not devastated by the loss of your first two star players. It is true that one can take such a turn down quite personally. We do have a tender heart, don't we? But also a great deal of courage. xoxIrenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05043376053971475659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-62914040975442322652014-03-01T08:48:01.141-03:302014-03-01T08:48:01.141-03:30I'm at a loss since I don't play cards.

That exhausts my store of "names of card games". <br /><br />I was brought up in a Christian fundamentalist home that taught that even the act of touching a playing card would cause you to burst into flames! Even the Monoply dice were looked on as a possible tool of Satan by the pious mother. <br /><br />But don't I love the word "scatter", used that way? It must speak to an earlier Newfoundland lifetime for it makes a fair scatter of images erupt in my brain. <br /><br />My Dad's maternal grandmother's family "went out" to fish the Grand Banks in the 1700-1800s. At first they went back and forth, finally they just got tired of the commute and stayed. You see their names everywhere on the Island now, Shave, Bugden, Tilley and others that don't come to mind but are there none-the-less. <br /><br />Gin? (I just remembered hearing the name of that one a week or two ago on Downton Abbey.) <br /><br /> Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14133236228952504852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-44801369541390914372014-02-28T15:13:16.482-03:302014-02-28T15:13:16.482-03:30No one so far.
