Champions belong on the Fridge




This summer we played Speed.......a lot. The girls were obsessed and pretty soon there was a significant amount a wagering going on. Such as if Dad won, the loser would have to do a job or go to bed early. If the girls won, they would want a treat or trip to the dollar store. Finally it was time to see who really is the best Speed player and so a few weeks ago we had a tournament, complete with Pool Play, seeding and bracketing (please forgive my ability to draw a normal bracket). "Who is the best Speed player in the Hinton Family?" The Mom, Yep the Mom. Thank you Grandma Nonie for the many hours spent teaching me to play solitaire - It has paid off. So in true Grandpa Nonie fashion, the score sheet is on the fridge with the champion's name for all to see.

It was fun to see Jay at the wedding last night, but we missed the rest of you.

She didn't post the bracket of the Wii family bowling tournament that I won. She discriminatory.
