One For The Ladies
Watch out for this card sharp! H plays his own brand of crazy eights. One day I was walking through the Garden Room and the regular game was going on. There were only three players and they asked me to sit in. The game was crazy eights, and I vaguely remembered playing from childhood. They quickly recapped the object and I started playing. H made a wrong move, and I commented. "Oh, that's just the way he plays."
This is something you get used to with older people, even with Grandma. Time has gone haywire and the rules have changed. H, like many people here, goes through obvious mood swings, but at heart he's a big sweetie. Being a diabetic, he gets Jello for dessert, while most others get chocolate cream pie or ice cream. But H loves his Jello, and we've made a big thing out of the 'yello-jello.' You see, red is the most common, green comes in a close second, and at the holidays you can get a mix of red and green. Orange is for the kids, but yello-jello is the best. You just have to make sure they clean the bowl real good from the last batch or you can see little bits of red.
It's OK if you don't understand.
