The One With All The Cards (written 9/24/2012)


It gets dark here around 6:45 so after that my life it lit by the stars and candles.  Since candle lighting limits the activities that can be done Dahlia and I spend a lot of evenings playing cards before we go to bed.  She brought Skip-Bo from home which is what we most often play.  Stela was over one say and saw the cards out and asked us to teach her how to play.  She loved it! And so both Saturday and Sunday she brought a few of the other teachers over to our house so that they could learn also.  They were absolutely hysterical learning to play! Makala would announce at the beginning of every game that this one was going to be “Makala’s game”.  Then he would look with horror every time he drew a card he couldn’t use.  Thus far no game has actually been “Makala’s game”.  Grace consistently talked to her cards, scolded Dahlia and I when we made a  good play and when she finally won a game proceeded to run around the room dancing and singing.  I am starting to feel like I am really becoming friends with the other teachers here which I am SO thankful for! They are incredible generous, so protective of Dahlia and I, and are always making me laugh!
