From the Desk of Susan and Bentley ~ Texas Hold' Em

Yes Bentley ~ momma played poker for the first time ever last night!

With five men!

I should explain.  Your daddy was there too and the others
were two employees of our construction company.  You know
them Bentley ~ Brad and Ian, Todd who used to work for us,
a friend of theirs, and Brad and Todd's dads.

I was sitting on the sidelines with your daddy when Todd
said that he was going to take a break and why don't I sit in for him.
What me?  I know how to play bridge ~ I used to play in college.
But poker?

So they said sure why not?  And Todd gave me his chips to play.

Well Bentley ~ your momma was a bit nervous.  While this was
a friendly game with a bunch of guys who were not taking things
too seriously ... momma did not want to lose too many of Todd's chips!

But guess what happened!

Your momma won two big pots!!!
It was at that time that the guys decided it was time for your
daddy to take your momma home.

Of course it was a fluke that I won.  Sure did have
fun though!!

Since poker is out of the question right now let's join
some other fun parties ~

Seasonal Sundays
Sunny Simple Sundays

Susan and Bentley
