I used to go to West Hollywood with a good friend and go to this place called The Abbey. Great food and free scrabble games.

Kathyinmo ~ I like Scrabble, my grandpa was a whiz at it so sometimes we played at his house at night (not often though, he kept busy with projects where I learne a lot of useful skills)
I bought a Scrabble set when DH and I were looking for 2-player games we could do together, but he decided that he sucks at Scrabble (coz I always win) so now he won't play with me

Rala...
That's how it seems here too .... they either love it or hate it, no in between. I used to love playing it with my very intelligent father. Now I have few that enjoy the game. ...... SO, we play cards! ha

It's ok I guess.
I'm too good at Chess too (been playin since I was 8, I mean, what do you expect?) so I find it boring to play against hubby. DH plays against my youngest sister, who was just born when I was 8 so she didn't get all the practice that I got

SNAP Linda, lol...

Like you I used to be out most of the time, hated being in the house, but we had lots of farmland close to the house and a wood, so I spent most of my time either around the horses, haymaking, or climbing trees.

It was a different world then where kids disappeared all day and had adventures, we used to have treks up the mountain, walk to the coast, and enjoy our freedom.

I long for a return to a society like it was then in some ways, then I would not have the problems of noisy kids next door. lol....

Mu house is timber and steel framed so noise carries, and next door have a 52" flat screen TV with a boom box and a stereo. When mummy and daddy go out the son turns up the music, My signal to them that I have had enough is Aerosmith's Nine Lives album played with both speakers up against the wall and I can hear it at the bottom of the garden, lol...... Steven Tyler's scream at the beginning kind of reflects how I feel.

My eldest son is a rock guitarist so I love it, but the neighbours soon learn, and those further away know what is the problem and share my disquiet, but not the disturbance. They don't have a shared wall.

My Maran's have finally started laying and I now get the most beautiful dark brown eggs every morning, just an aside but they are such beauties, and my Black Rocks are breaking all records for the size of their eggs again. Ohhh I love my girls.

When I was a kid, my best friend and I used to always play cards, all kinds of games. We used to also ride our bikes all over town. Now kids all want to play video games or go on facebook. I let my kids have the video games, but they play outside a lot. I teach them all the games I played when I was a kid.
