i am addicted to playing solitaire - the forty thieves version

i just keep playing and i cant stop

I used to do that with Spider Solitaire, now I waste hours playing one game of chess after another.

I'm in the spider stage now.

Have to play it before I can sleep. Very obsessive.

I just can't get into any games, except Chinese checkers. I have some sort of mental block about learning rules.   

Spider solitaire is easy to figure out. 4 suits is hard as all get out though.

I have never won that on 4 suits the most I ever got was one deck done

I managed to find a family portrait of couldbecousin taken when they visited California.  As usual, the shy one is hiding in the third row.



And here she is again, with her cousins and her dog.



And here are some of her early British ancestors.

This is one of the cruise ships that sails from New Orleans.  Normally you can see only the upper decks from the land side of the levee.

 It almost looks as if the cars, trucks, train and ship are all on the road togther!

That's the streetcar line that runs along the Mississippi River.  They're red.  The ones on Canal Street and St. Charles Ave. are a dark olive green. 

The people are standing on the levee.
