I loved playing jacks – taught my daughter who still went back to the iPad. Monopoly was wonderful – had marathons once a year when all the cousins were together. I was also a big tomboy – always playing baseball and kickball. I played marbles also – always highly competitive. Now I play games online because health will not allow me to play the way I used to play. We all carry on the best we can. Enjoy life.

I love jacks! We played like crazy every summer at camp. On the hard floors of the cabins we competed. I miss those days! Thanks for the reminder. Online games are fun too. I am glad you are continuing to play.
The competition definitely adds to the fun of play. Even in solo games, I’m usually competing against myself!
