30 Days of Thanksgiving: November 24-Sunday Game Nights

Typically at this time on Sunday evenings, Ruth and I are sitting at the table of our neighbors Karel and Myra, deciding which game to play together. . .a last hurrah of the weekend before another busy week. The tradition has been going on for a few months now, and we love the fact that our baby monitor can act as our babysitter as their house is only yards from our own! We've learned to play pinochle and they are now addicted to Settlers of Catan. . .and we always enjoy a good game of euchre together as well. We're thankful to have people to play games with and for new traditions as we settle into community living here in Nicaragua, though we still miss our game buddies back in Grand Rapids--Noah and Megan and Phil and Bridget and James and a few others, too.
