@QVCkitty1    I received an online order from Skechers about a week ago.  They also sent me two gifts...a tote bag and a deck of cards.  

I immediately opened up the deck and played solitaire for at least an hour.  What a timely gift!

Euchre, that's a card game you dont hear much about....my grandfather played that game with a group every Friday night.......

I think that it's mostly a Midwest card game, because whenever we are on vacation with friends and play it, most people haven't heard of it.

Oops!  It's a fun game.  We taught our kids to play euchre many years ago and also our two dgs's when they were quite young.

I played Solitaire online last night, really enjoy it.  When I don't feel like watching anything on TV, am bored with everything else and it's too early to go to bed, I suddenly remember...Solitaire,and go for it.  Lindsay has become good at it and we play against one another to see who wins the most games.

I like Microsoft Solitaire that came installed on my computer.  I like how you can set it to various levels of difficulty.  You're really playing against the computer.  And I like when I win I get the little cards flying away, or exploding like fireworks, and sorting themselves into their respective suits.  I've been quite hooked on it at various times in the past.  Haven't played since last fall. I was getting "mouse" elbow.

@Happy2BHere  Thanks for the info on the Arcade on HSN.  I was not aware of it.  I have been playing various Solitare games on my computer constantly since this stay at home situation.  I went to the Arcade when I read your post and started playing Candy Marjoghn (spelling).  Will be visiting that site often I think.

I love to play double pinochle.  Our famiy played at home when I was young.  When I retire, I'm going to the senior center.  They have a pinochle group there.  I think they also have Canasta.  That was my favorite game years ago.
