Dean, Anita, and Lisa,
Wishing you peace and comfort and fond memories of your dad.
I still smile when I think about Uncle Bill and grandpa playing cribbage and your dad asking grandpa “you want half a beer, dad?” And then a little while later, “you want another half a beer, dad?” I bet they have the cribbage board out and each has a half a beer.
Warm wishes to you all.
Pat
Dean Allen says:
Hello Pat,
Near retirement my Dad would stop by every Thursday afternoon for cribbage with Grandpa. They had graduated to Peach Schnapps and Brandy which they called a ‘Fuzzy Navel’ (but wasn’t). They definitely have the cribbage board out.
Warmest regards,
Dean
