Monopoly by the old oil lamp

While Aaron was working in PA, Dixie and I spent the night with Mamaw & Popaw Blankenship, in the Holler at Hanover.

Unexpectedly the power (or juice according to some country folk) went out. So what did we do...Played Monopoly by lamp light.



Popaw was the car, because he loves race cars. And the banker.

I was the dog, because I love dogs. And the properties, house/hotel manager.
Dixie was the hat, beacause she likes hats. And got to work on her math skills.


Mamaw was the old lady in the Shoe (j/k she could pass for 40) and the WINNER!

Embrace the cards you are dealt and make the most of every situation...you may be suprised and make some great memories.

We had a wonderful, fun evening and the power was restored around 11:00 pm.

  1. Daddy looks like he is taking his job as banker very serious. So glad you all made some good memories.
