Well today I was the "Lucky Duck". Debbie taught us a new game and I won both times we played it. The game is called Canadian Salad. You deal all the cards out even if not everyone has the same amount. The person to the left of the dealer plays any suit and everyone has to play that suit if they have it. If not they can play any card they want and usually pick a high card to play so they can get rid of it. The highest card in the suit played gets the "trick" and then they lead out by playing another card. Every round is played like that but each round has a way of having you earn points. (you don't want points) The first round you get 10 points for every "trick" you take. The 2nd round you get 10 points for every "heart" you get with your tricks. The 3rd round you get 25 points for every Queen you get stuck with. The 4th round the person that gets the King of Spades gets 100 points. The 5th round whoever takes the last trick gets 100 points. The 6th and final round you get points for everything. Each trick the points are added up before moving on. It was pretty fun. I think I only got 35 points total...couldn't have been for each game. (if anyone is left holding an extra card they get those points if there are any)
Julie, Lorrilee and I stayed and visited and then we all decided to go to lunch. We went to ABC Mandarin. It was a fun day. Mondays are Fun Days!
