Playing Spoons

Playing spoons

 

Have you ever played spoons?

It is a fun, simple, fast, good for a laugh card game.

My Belle Mere loves it, she has been known to dive across the table for a spoon. She is that feisty.

My mother has never lost.

I cannot remember ever losing.

 

 

Playing cards spoons

 

Our friend Thierry loves the game, he loses most the time. As he said tonight, "I am a calm loser when it comes to spoons, I am in it for the fun."

I said I was glad since I played to win.

We both laughed until it hurt. That kind of laughter that only people can have when they know what they are laughing about has nothing to do with what they just said.

He was the winner tonight, as it marked a year of his victory!

We celebrated. Had dinner. Drank champagne. Played spoons.

  2. Love spoons. My family has played it with crayons and whatever else is @ hand when there were no spoons to be had. Congratulations to Theiry and you both for an enduring friendship.
