Kings in the Corner-Game night with snacks & Goodies


My sister hosted game night and we played the card game “King in the Corners”. My sister made homemade Apple Cinnamon Bread with apples and caramel dip. Papa brought fried chicken and fish. My Sweetness also joined in the games and fun–My sister and nephew also played in the games and goodies!

Life is better with loved ones and fun family nights! Of course, the highlight of the evening was getting to play with my nephew and watching “bop bop” along to music and hearing him squwak along as he played card with us.

Going Places, staying put–Exploring our surroundings


Covid19. Corona Virus. Pandemic. Those dreaded words hold a lot of impact these days but it doesn’t mean that adventures stop. There are many options for adventures while still adhering to the rules and regulations in your area that won’t break the bank, too.

While regulations and quarantine regulations and public venue capabilities in areas vary from place to place, regional difference and country standards, there are some universal things that can still allow for fun adventures. While we could all like to say ” wake me up when it’s all over” (part of the lyrics from Avicii’s song, “Wake Me up”)

Activities don’t have to be limited, just altered. IF you can’t walk over the wall, we can learn to modify by walking around it!

Adventure ideas, of course, are not limited to the idea of physically having to go somewhere but can be done from the comfort of your kitchen table, your backyard, or any place you choose. While there have been a multitude off lists that have been made to help with this that and the other aspects of the pandemic, something fun can come of it.
