Playing Games


So last weekend we were playing a new game with our friends (I don't remember the name of it) where you had to know something about each other in order to win. There were four statements on the cards like this:

Favorite soda
Rainy or cloudy?
Good _____(fill in the blank)
Favorite tree

Now Herbie knows full well that I'm obsessed with palm trees. Everybody knows that. It's a well known fact. If you know me but you don't know I love palm trees, then you're one pie short of a picnic.

So I decide to mess with Herbie. When he asks me what my favorite tree is, I say pine. So he says "Great! That's what I put down for that one."

Whhaaaat???

"Pine tree? What is the matter with you??? You know the answer is palm tree. Are there two wires touching in your head that shouldn't be?"

Yeah. He's a real wacko.

What's your favorite game?

  1. Ha! Steve and I have a game that my mom sent me about Hong Kong. It's a fun board game if you know anything about Hong Kong...I also have a cultural board game, but I can't remember what it's called. Another board game that Steve doesn't like to play with me. :)

  2. Actually, El Salvador would be the only mission trip. Vietnam/Hong Kong is to go see my family and then Kenya is for our 5-year-anniversary!

    How's your book coming along? :)

  3. Okay...you've got to tell me the name of this game.
    Board/card games are fun.
    My favorite which has lasted for decades is still Yahtzee.
    Enough that I started collecting dice so that everyone could have their own set when we played.
    And I just kept collecting...now I have something like 30 different sets.
    Just remember to let us know the name of this game.

  4. Ohh Debby...you are so funny...or Herbie is... well, living in the land of palms and coming from the land of pines... I would have said PINES, too!

    I know with your new published work that you are busy... so I totally understand... but so glad you stopped in. Please keep me in your prayers, having some health issues (even went to the hospital here last night). I am more than thankful for YOU! and so thankful we met (I'd like to do it in person soon...) are ya' thinkin' of a book tour to sunny lands for the winter? (lol) I'll be waiting!

    Love and blessings,
    Peggy

  5. I'm sorry, Sunshine! I'm sure He will. I know He will. Maybe this song can help encourage you: "Open My Hands" by Sara Groves.

    I really love "Balderdash" ....it's just a great excuse to laugh and be silly....and that's why I also love your blog and you (although the balderdash you just left on my blog might come back to bite your sassy lil' tongue) haha!

    But the godly will flourish like palm trees and grow strong like the cedars of Lebanon.
