Wonderful description of your Grandma in her element. Could see and feel all of it. Love these descriptions where readers fill in their own details based on how their grandma’s home was… a shag carpet, brown paper bags filled with paperbacks, a half-finished puzzle. It was hard to fully appreciate how cool our grandparents were when we were kids. They always knew (and were good at) cool card games, like Pinochle or Canasta. Great memories this one stirred up. Appreciate that!
Love your descriptions, Matt! We had a family card game growing up that was passed down from my grandma. It was called Oh Hell (which as kids weren't allowed to say Hell so we called it Oh Pshaw) and I rarely meet someone who has heard of the game.
That’s awesome! Family card games are the best! As a kid, it took a bit to realize not everyone played Oh Pshaw (outstanding place-holder name!) and then later they become these sorta mini-tests for gfs/bfs and maybe, potential in-laws. If you could learn Oh Hell you had a chance. If you couldn’t or didn’t try… straight up land in the discard pile for good! Not really but yeah, it pretty much was like that 😆
