El used to cat's cradle so much at that age. Her yarn got all mangled and discolored and disgusting. She kept it in her pocket for weeks.

So glad you are getting out and spring is winning!

Brought back good memories. I game that is international! Simple clean fun!

Amazing what a little bit of yarn can do. All that entertainment value. They are getting good with those.
I've never played King's corners.

Very nice pictures. I especially love the look on his face on picture five and I really like the pictures of the playing cards.

I think I might have been the only person in existence who can't do a cat's cradle. I guess I'll have to find something else to do with the redhead on rainy days.

Send them out here...I could waste hours playing string games!

Anybody over there up for a little canasta? I have one deck. If you have another, we can play! BTW, Tracy: On my recent road trip with College Girl, I went to The Old Fashioned in Madison, WI. Had their Beer Cheese soup. So delish, but not as good as yours! :)

My fave always was & still remains the Eiffel Tower. And I love the baby seal on the cards...but what is King's Corners? PS: Don't forget today's Silly Sunday Sweepstakes!

I forgot about cat's cradle. I should teach that to my son.
