Dear Mom,

You’ll be glad to know that the hours spent playing Rook growing up have not gone to waste. I taught four people how to play and swept the game three times. My gloating was humble – I even overbid and lost a game, just to show that I wasn’t invincible, but oh, victory was sweet. Now if I could just convince people to play Dominoes the right way!

XOXO

Unfortunately I did not take any pictures of the game (I was too busy winning!), but here are some other pictures of my weekend. It was exactly what I hoped it would be: spiritually uplifting (if a tad heavy on the Steven Covey worship – but since the speaker worked for him, I suppose I can forgive it), good fellowship, cute boys and a little flirtation, good food and a walk in the leaf covered woods.
