My chess set, given to me as a housewarming present a few years ago, by a dear friend.

I'm not very good at chess, and I'm still learning how to play it.

I have a chess set mainly for sentimental reasons. Prior to moving permanently into care, my terminally ill natural dad used to carry me on his back in the most atrocious weather conditions up to the children's home where I lived for many years. When we arrived there, we both used to sit at a table by the window, where a chess board was put out and he would try and teach me how to play it. Even though he was desperately ill and unfortunately passed away, this was one of the final memories I had of him - taking the time to sit with me, talk to me, and to teach me a new skill.

That's a gorgeous set! Have you tried apps or computer programs? They're supposed to help.

Wow, that's a precious memory. You're honoring him with the set. That's very loving.

I started playing as a child. My aunt made me. We had 3 games: chess, checkers, and Scrabble. She's 40 years older. That isn't a fair fight! She wouldn't play Monopoly. We'd battle over Scrabble though. I read a lot.

I love Scrabble. I usually play online, against a friend of mine who was my former boss, and also my priest. I used to pride myself on the fact that it was a game I would always win, but they very soon started to overtake me on the scoreboard! These days, I play Scrabble just for fun and I love thinking up naughty words just for embarrassment!

I used to play online through Yahoo. They had a pool game I enjoyed too. Naughty words? Say it ain't so! *lol*

We should have a game night. Let me chew on that. You inspired me.

I saw this a few weeks ago and it reminded me of us. We'd be the coolest flappers! We need to go to a Gatsby party or host one. They have some nice ideas on Pinterest.

That pic is so us! I can see it now. We will have our party for sure!

@cara-mia,

I’m looking for lipgloss. Sephora was a no go. But look what I found!! It has shimmer. Are you doing red, plum, or both?

I have an absolutely terrible sense of humour.
One Christmas, I visited some friends of mine, a lovely couple, and we decided to pull the Christmas crackers and share the jokes. As you would expect, the jokes were too dry to be funny and my friend, she read her joke with a blank face, until her husband chipped in with his own suggestion of what the punchline should have been. It was very rude of course (and I would never repeat it here!) but nonetheless we all exploded into fits of laughter. I must have been giggling for at least an hour!

What a beautiful memory. That set is amazing. I used to know how to play chess. My fiance used to play as well but life sometimes has a way of getting in the way of play. I want to re-learn to play and bring it back. Thank you for sharing.

My sense of humor is interesting. I laugh at all sorts of things. You sound like a lot of fun.

That’s cool. I saw this FENDI ad in a recent VOGUE someone left at work and then found it on the web and saved it (I like good photography). I thought this design actually recalled a bit of the flapper sensibility.

That's gorgeous! Great eye. I love it.

I think what made the situation more funny was the fact that my friend who chipped in usually has a very a dry and self-contained sense of humour. To see him unable to stop laughing once he realised what he had said just made it more hilarious. We were all giggling like kids for ages!

What kind of photography do you like? Do you shoot?

Sometimes we need to let go. I laugh a lot on here.

What do you do for fun?
