Friends, Food, and Lots of Laughs
Last Friday we were invited to Troy and Carol's house for pizza and games along with Dave & Jodi and Mike & Carrie. It has been way too long since we have gotten together with them! Carol made homemade pizza - with wheat crust! It was wonderful!
It was interesting to talk with Carrie. She is a Canadian citizen, and she shared information about the healthcare systems up there.
Jodi made this absolutely incredible Earthquake Cake that was truly amazing! (It would have been perfect if she had forgotten the coconut.)
After dinner we adjourned to the family room for some fun games - and tons of laughter! We played Eye to Eye and Linkety. Troy and Dave are both so competitive that is fun to watch them try to outdo each other! Mike and Troy have been friends for so long that they have code words that only they know. For example, the two of them both quote the movie "Shrek" so when the category of "things with layers" was announced, they both immediately said "onions, because ogres are like onions, they both have layers". They tried cheat a little bit - but we didn't let them get away with it!
Linkety is a game where you throw a card containing a letter into the center and shout out a word that starts with that letter. Then someone else has to place a card and say a word that links to the previous word. At one point Jodi surprised us all by linking the words "mother" and "Leroy" - I'm not sure what her mother is like, but I'm pretty sure she is not a Leroy! We laughed so hard that we almost cried.

After a good warm-up, Jodi seemed to get the hang of things, and she began playing cards that actually made sense!It was so much fun to laugh with good friends!
