Cinco De Mayo and Poker

Filed under: General — mmrobins @ 11:52 pm

Betsy had the idea to have a poker night get together, so we decided randomly on cinco de mayo. Betsy and Wes brought a cool fold out poker table, Thao and Tai brought chips and cards, and everyone else brought food or drink of some sort. I think there were 9 people in the game to start, with Jesse and Deborah on the same team. We were playing Texas hold ‘em with a single deck and a $5 buy in. Jacob and Waleska showed up later, so they were nice enough to make quesadillas for everyone. Kim had never really played before, but she did pretty well and even won a hand. I went all in on a hand and Travis took my money, but he lost it all not long after. Tai played the role of announcer and teacher really well and everyone had fun. Thao ended up winning the pot around midnight.

Bloomsday Weekend Without Running

Filed under: General — mmrobins @ 9:50 pm

Kim and I went home to my parents’ for the weekend. I had planned to run in Bloomsday, but the registration got messed up and I didn’t want to pay a late fee, so we just spent time with the fam. Nathan was even home, so the whole family was together.

Saturday morning everyone except Nathan went into town to the gym to play racketball. Kim had never played, so we taught her the basics. I didn’t bring non-marking shoes so I ended up playing barefoot, which really burns your feet after a while. Kim and I went looking for morel mushrooms, but didn’t find many. It must have been a little too early still. We played hearts and eukre most of the evening. Sunday everyone except Nathan went to church. After church Kim and I drove to Post Falls to visit with Gwenda, Grandma and Sierra for a little while, then we drove back to Seattle.
