Size of screen house
Comments (2)Picnic tables are often moveable, and even so generally out in the open part of the campsite where there are few trees. In my opinion, you want to go larger than 10 X 10 for reasons you already know. Consider REI as their screen houses are of higher quality, more rip-resistant materials made for the long haul. I envy campers who have enough room to carry these along; my day will come! : )...See MoreWhat Are Your Favorite Card & Board Games? Any Recommendations?
Comments (53)This post is bringing up many wonderful memories. When I was a kid, our family played Yahtzee just about every night when we were on summer vacation (it was one of the few things that brought us together.) My sister and I would quietly stay up well after bedtime to have "Spit"(the card game) tournaments (it was also a great procrastination tool to keep us from homework--which also worked in college.) Our family also played Hearts, Spades, Sorry, Big Boggle (I can no longer find this version of Boggle) and Risk (there were always a lot of hurt feelings with this game.) When I was 16 I went on a bike trip across Maine with two older sisters--we brought a word dice game called Perquacky and played it in the camping area rest rooms (where there was light) at night (I think we only played if there was some sort of vanity shelf or large sink area. I hope we didn't sit on the floor.) Many of us got together this summer for vacation and we had fun with Texas Hold 'Em. My parents and a couple of my sisters really enjoy(ed) bridge. The games I've enjoyed playing with my kids are Scrabble, Cribbage (a favorite for my daughter and I when we are on vacation--we keep score with pencil and paper rather than a board), Sequence, Canasta, Chutes and Ladders, Life, Careers, Battle Ship, Rack-O and some lesser known games. Several of these come in small boxes and use special cards: Quiddler, Rat-a-tat-cat, Frog Juice, and for small kids Panda-momium and Hiss. We were/are particularly fond of Rat-a-tat cat and Frog Juice. Blink is also supposed to be very good. A game my teenage daughter and I got hooked on for a while is Fluxx--which is a card game with a special pack of cards. The rules of the game continually change depending on the card you play. It is great fun. We wore through a couple of decks. Mary 228: Harry's Hat game sounds like it would be lots of fun. Thanks for the chance to reminisce....See Morewhat's your favorite board game?
Comments (30)Check out geekandsundry.com under Tabletop games - lots and lots of board games! My faves to play with the grandkids were Qwirkle, Tsuro, & Ticket to Ride. Settlers of Cataan was also fun, but more mature than my 10-y-o grandchild, but mostly because he doesn't read English well. (He's Japanese.) If your son likes strategic games, there are many more out there - you just need to look!...See MoreLivingroom furniture selection and placement
Comments (19)Okay, I think I am getting a vision of what will work. What I need to do is keep the seating in the central 10x10 space. TV centered on the North wall, Hutch on the south wall. Seating could be a Sofa and loveseat or a Sofa and 2 chairs or a sectional or a sofa with a chaise as long as the dimensions of the grouping fir within the 10x10 space. Question 1 - I noticed that all of the above plans include an additional chair that breaks into the 3' walkway in front of the fireplace. It is the only thing that looks cramped on paper. Will it really be okay? Question 2 - If I did a long sofa with a chaise could I do a chair near the foot of the chaise? I seem to be drawn to the low, long, sofas with a chaise. As much as I love the look of my gondala sofa, it is low and hard for my older siblings to get off once seated, so I will probably put that in the master sitting room and look for new furniture for the living room....See MoreKathsgrdn
