Skip to my Bo

Oh! I forgot. For those of you who have met Meredith’s grandparents,
you know how wonderful they are. The are both in their eighties and are
sarcastic, funny, and sharp as tacks. They also love to play
boy-versus-girl SkipBo. They take this very seriously. So, we played
three days while we were there.

Day
1: The women jump out to an imtimidating 3-0 lead. It looked like the
skunk was going to make an appearance. We managed to win the last game
(finishing at 11:00 p.m.). Carelton threw the stuffed skunk that I had
gotten for Leona a few years ago across the room when we won.


Day 2: It was a short evening because we were all tired. We split the games.

Day
3: The skunk made an appearance! Normally, the skunk does not come out
for just two games, but it looked good. So, the total for the entire
week was 4-4.

Playing SkipBo with the grandparents is always a highlight for me. If
you get to Maine, try to look them up and play (contact me and I’ll get
you directions). It is MUCH fun.

    Skipbo is a card game where you are trying to get rid of all of your cards. As a one-on-one game, it is 99% luck, but it gets MUCH more interesting when played in teams. Especially when they are sharp-witted funny older folks!
