Yahtzee

I love this game! I have re found it after all these years on Pogo & I am loving me some Yahtzee! I don't know if it is the game as much as it is the memories that I get while playing it! My grandma Mildred Knight, my dad's mom, loved her some Yahtzee as well & from the time that I could sit at the table & roll the dice I was her little Yahtzee playing buddy! Grandma also had a life long friend named Gladys Ripley whom us kids affectionately called Aunt Gladys (I am sure you all have a few of them yourselves) & when her & her husband, Uncle Lloyd, were there for a visit...we had Yahtzee Tournaments while the men fished! I am not talking a game or two...I am talking all day & night...just breaking for cooking & eating meals...dishes & the occasional snacks! Other than that it was play, baby, play! And, now that I think back on it Yahtzee was more than a game...it was actually a learning experience cuz Grandma told me when I was about 3 that I had to learn to count for myself if I wanted to continue to play! Which I learned & quite quickly I might add...because when I entered Kindergarten at that age of 4 thanks to a persistent mother...I was only in the big "K" for about a month & they moved me right along...cuz, I was doing all the other kid's Math work! SCORE! Anyhow, now I have the game online...&...I am loving it!

YAHTZEE!
