Rummy!

Rummy is the name of a card game - I wonder if anyone has ever heard of it? Anyway, it is a tradition in my family. One of the few traditons we have. My Grandmother was awesome at the game and she is the one who taught me. Once I mastered it, we began playing for $$$. She was cheap. She would only bet $2 or $3. But I just wanted to beat her. I usually did!!

So, my son bought a deck of cards the last time I sent him to the bakala. He had no idea how to use them to play a game. So, I am currently trying to teach both he and my daughter how to play the game. It's not difficult but it is hard to explain.

I am trying to maintain my patience which is something my grandmother never did. Lol! She would often throw the cards down when her hand was not good or yell at me when I dealt an extra card. She was SO serious about the game whereas I am taking a more lax attitude. It is only a freakin' game after all!
