Dad and I ended our afternoon together playing Sorry. It's relaxing for him. It's relaxing for me. It's a game he's always eager to play, and it's a game he is good at. He won (again!) today. I think he likes all the numbers and counting spaces. I'm surprised that he remembers so many of the little rules for certain numbers - - - like you can only leave "start" with a 1 or a 2. A 10 means you move forward 10 or backward 1. Things like that. It's the same game board my brother and I played on in the 1970's . . . mostly with Grandma Bo. I don't EVER remember playing it with my dad. He was more of a Monopoly guy. It was nice to end our day together like this - - - more as equals, than me directing him on what to do next, or telling him that, I can't see anyone sitting on the couch. Joy came at the end of the day today!
