We are a family that loves games....of all kinds, but especially cards. DH and I played Bridge through college, and still do. We taught our kids to play cards as soon as they could tell numbers. Every Saturday night we have dinner with Tom and Cheryl, our best friends. Dinner is the excuse to play cards, which we do until we are exhausted. We play Oh Hell, Crowns, Golf, and Call. We spend the evening in uproarious laughter, and always finish with sore faces and tummies. I had to use this joker, and the sentiment says "You make me laugh". How appropriate!!
P.S. Tom and Cheryl are on a cruise, so #2 son and DIL are coming for dinner......and to play cards!!!

Great card!! I love the bg. What a great joker card and I love the sentiment. I think I blew it today. I just wanted to play and try to be creative, but I have no sentiment with mine. Probably nothing makes sense with it.

Love the combination of the DP and the card, and the almost monochrome look. I've never heard of Oh Hell. We used to play Whist, Rummy, Cribbage, Pontoon and the kids games like Beggar My Neighbour and so on. I got out an old set of my mother's today Happy Families with Snow White, but then I couldn't bring myself to use one.
We used to visit an elderly neighbour across from our apartment when we lived elsewhere - she was always trying to encourage us to take up bridge.
