Over the past few years I have tended to do short trips of 2 - 3 weeks and generally end up in
Innamincka. Next year I am taking 6 months off and I am going to take my time and have a good look around.
In preparation I have been reading "The
Grey Nomad's Guidebook" by Cindy and Jeremy Gough. They mention the evening drinks and card games with other
Grey Nomads. I haven't played cards for years. When the kids were
young and we had finally got them to bed we would have a few drinks and play cards until it got cool enough to go to bed (or hot enough). It was mostly Euchre, 500, 500 Rum and Sevens and sometimes Patience with a bit of Backgammon thrown in. What do people play now? Do they still play the same old games or is it Texas Holdem etc.?
Regards,
Bob

Hi Bob
We have played a few games of cards in several caravan parks, and
we find a lot of people like that Uno card game, it seems to bring out
the best or worst in the ladies, its amazing how a few drinks and when a bad hand is dealed to them,they start yelling and screaming
its all in good fun.
Cheers
Daza

Speaking of Mother in laws:-
Two men were in a pub. One says to his mate, "My MIL is an angel." His friend replies, "You're lucky.
Mine is still alive."
Q: How do you stop your MIL from drowning?
A: Take your foot off her head.
A guy brings his dog into the vet and says, "Could you please cut my dog's tail off?" The vet examines the tail and says, "There is nothing wrong. Why would you want this done?" The man replies, "My MIL is coming to visit, and I don't want anything in the house to make her think that she is welcome!"
I picked my MIL up at the airport last night. Yeah, those airport lounges are so dark!
Q: Why do they bury mothers-in-law 18 feet down, when everyone else is buried 6 feet down?
A: Because, deep down, they really are very nice people.
Q: Why would you rather deal with a vicious dog than your mother-in-law?
A: A vicious dog eventually lets go!
My mother-in- law is so cross-eyed, that when she cries the tears roll down her back!
I think that is probably enough.
Regards,
Bob
PS I am quite fond of my Mother in Law
