Well, they are the ones to lift you up and bring you down!
Today was “Christmas Bridge” and a fine event it was! We make a wonderful conglomerate of newbies and “semi-oldies” in our efforts to designate a “high” and “low” in the game. The critical influence is that we laughed a lot! It really doesn’t matter who won, although we tried to keep score in a fair mode?
At the grand finale, my Pinterest friend, ”Pistina,” took home the trophy!!!! The trophy was a gift I “absconded” from my mother. She earned it years earlier beating out at least 20 other men in a pinochle tournament. (I have no idea how many men were involved, all I know is that they were formidable opponents )
I took the trophy from Mom, repurposed it, and one of us is proudly displaying our card savvy for all to see. Unfortunately, no one wants to host “Christmas Bridge” after today. Fear reigns.
