Retirement?

Yes. A work in progress or WIP as knitters sometimes say. This blog has been idle for at least 5 years. I've added fibers, etc to the title header in anticipation of discussing the playful side of life. Stay tuned.  Oh -- you can find me also over on Ravelry.com or Craftsy.com .

In Appreciation of Playfulness and Friends : An Evening of Mah Jongg

Last night found five friends around my old oak table. Four with racks of tiles, one sitting out for the round. All learning to play Mah Jongg. Initiating my new set. But really, it is the comraderie, the comfortable interaction among like minded souls. Friendship is a gift. Playfulness is a joy.

What is American Mah Jongg?  Think of Gin Rummy with tiles, but more. Here is the book I've found that has been most helpful:
A Beginner's guide to American Mah Jongg by Elaine Sandberg (9780804838788).  For more information see also: The National Mah Jongg League
