After a yummy Sunday night Grammy meal, Emma got out Monopoly (from my newly cleaned basement) and away we went.  Your Mom joined us (she took this picture). Some people don’t like board games (Grammy).  Others will play but don’t have a lot of patience. I showed you how to play a quicker version (A) shuffle the property cards and hand them out to each player at the beginning and (B) allow players to make property trading deals any time during their turn. Despite a much faster pace, some people (your Dad & Mom) got tired of it. I went to the bathroom and when I got back, Monopoly was packed up and put away… with no winner!  What!? I tell you, that was a hard pill to swallow for a board game junkie like me.  A shame, a real shame, there’s gotta be a winner, ha!
