My Nines Addiction

One Saturday night about 2 months ago my neighbors Melissa
and Josh invited me over to play "Nines" a new game they learned.
We stayed up til 1:00 in the morning playing. Needless to say we
were a bit tired for Church the next day and I found a favorite game.

About a month ago I played with my friend
s Mike and Elena and
was told to bring tissue for my crying when I lost. I brought
the tissues just in case Mike would need them when I wooped him
at "Nines" The feeling of victory felt great! A rematch has not
yet been scheduled.

While Dog sitting for the Lattins this last weekend I had Nicole
and Michael over for dinner and "Nines". Neither had played so
I thought it would be an easy win with all o
f my experience and
I ended up last! I told Nicole that it was beginners luck but
she begs to differ! :)
