New Weekend Traditions

As the new year begins, we have created new traditions - Friday is card/board game night, and Saturday is movie night! 

For Friday board/card games, do we get to choose which card/board games, household chores, and school we play weekly, or do we play board games? Last night, we decided to play a card game.  We played for at least an hour, which was so much fun. 

The best part is that we spend an hour or so together after dinner after the work week, the week. This also gives us something to look forward to every week. 

My nephew and niece asked me to play card games before bed on weekdays, and I obliged. Playing with them gives me so much joy. They are competitive, and so do I.  However, I always remind them that sometimes you win, sometimes you lose because you have to play the cards you were dealt with, or that's how the dice rolled. But they must remember what matters most—that we get to spend time together. 

Tonight is movie night. I can't wait to find out what we will be watching!  We might even have pizza, popcorn, and some chips. 

How about you? Do you have weekend traditions that you do with family and friends?

Checkmate! Last year, after seeing our special chess board game, my nephew asked me if I knew how to play chess. I told him, "I think so, but it's been a while since I played. " So, we set up our chessboard and started playing.  At first, it was confusing because our chessboard was not the chessboard I was taught how to play chess.  It's a special chessboard, as you can see from the picture. It took time for us to get used to the chess pieces. But we have played so many times that we are now familiar with which is supposed to be the rook, knight, bishop, etc.  To my surprise, I sometimes won if I concentrated and anticipated his next move. But most of the time, he would win. Probably because I was too tired to focus, LOL! So when the time came that I couldn't protect "my king" anymore, with a big smile on his face, he would proudly say,  "Checkmate!"

Building Eeveelutions  Since I have a three-day weekend, I finally had the time to do one of my favorite things - building items.  This was a Christmas present that I asked for. You better be careful about what you wish for, or you will get it. I was thrilled to get it, and now the challenge is to build all of these - I love building things because it calms me down and keeps my brain working, which is healthy. I am also very detail-oriented.  I started last night with my favorite eeveelution, before Saturday movie night. To wrap up my 3-day weekend, I completed the rest of eevelutions. Here are the completed eeveelutions: Building Eevee and its evolutions was such an accomplishment. Overall, it was a very productive three-day weekend.

Friends, are we?  Ah, friends—those marvelous beings who make life's journey much more enjoyable! Friends are like the family we choose for ourselves. They bring laughter, support, and a sense of belonging. Whether having deep conversations, sharing hobbies, or simply enjoying each other's company, friends enrich our lives in countless ways. Not all friendships are built on trust and sincerity. False friendships can be deceptive, often characterized by manipulation, jealousy, or self-interest. A false friend may only appear during good times but disappear when challenges arise. Recognizing such relationships early can help protect emotional well-being and allow for the cultivation of genuine connections. Determining whether someone is a friend or a foe often involves observing their actions, consistency, and intentions. A true friend supports you, respects your boundaries, and brings positivity into your life. They celebrate your success, stand by you during challenges, and off...
