CARDS

My parents' house

Philadelphia, PA

1963-1976

 

When I was a kid, my family played a lot of card games. My grandparents were tied impetus of this activity.  They were avid bridge players and had regular, friendly tournaments at their apartment and sometimes at our house. And when they weren't playing bridge with their friends, they were engaging us in card games. 

They lived just two miles away from us so they came to our house every day.  We would have two different games of pinnacle going and then the winners would player the winner and the losers would play the losers and then those two winners played each other.  I was always up for the challenge which explained why I never had time to dome homework.
