Uncles and nephews, and the practice of crokinole

Shooting shooters carooming off impatient players.  Two smiles around a kitchen table.  Both the sights and sounds of yesterday.

Our daughter arrived with our grandson around 3:00 in the afternoon.  Christopher is a true delight, bringing his smile and the light of is play into our abode.  His uncle, Tim, just hangs around and enjoys him!

Later in the evening we had 16 youth and  young adults around tables trying to learn the game of crokinole.  You see, we have challenged our seniors to a tournament the end of March.  Usually that is no problem except for one slight thing!  Some of them have never played crokinole.  So, this was the evening to give it a try.  They all did well — and were very kind in explaining that the seniors didn’t stand a chance!  (OK, so they were a little more direct in their speech, but we’ll leave it at the fact that they figure the tournament is theirs!!)
