Make My Saturday Sweet - Blog Hop #40

Me, Amanda and our kitten, Prince

Today I'm linking with Friendship Friday

and the topic is "Games."

My two favorite games are Canasta (a card game) and Scrabble (a board game). I usually do well in Canasta, but there's a really good chance that I'll lose at a game of Scrabble. At our home, we don't play enough family games. My mom and step-dad are planning to play games with us over the summer holiday when we visit them.

When it comes to electronic games, my kids own a Nintendo DS Lite and a Playstation 2. I don't play on them. Amanda, my youngest, has coaxed me to play computer games with her from the internet. She usually visits Girls Go Games for this and occasionally ABCya.com. I find both sites are good fun.

A couple of weeks back, I discovered a blogger who takes my Make My Saturday Sweet and makes it her theme for her post. I really enjoyed reading what made her Saturday sweet or bittersweet and so I've included them here for you too. It would be great if you could visit her two posts and share some bloggy love!

Thanks for joining us for Friendship Friday! I love Scrabble and I can tell you the more you play, the better you get at it!
I love games but don't have the opportunity to play very often.

Hope you have a fabulous weekend. Thanks for hosting! :-)

Think the linky is missing. I looked two times and couldn't find it. By the way, I loved Monopoly as a kid and still do. My husband not a huge fan, but do hope my kids like it in the future, because I need someone to actually want to play with me again!!

Sorry you missed the linky! That's the internet for you, sometimes it's up and running and sometimes it's not, but it was there, so it must have been a "not" moment. Take care!

Over the years my twin and I played so many board games - Scrabble, Monopoly, Snakes and Ladders etc. I am also linking up with Friendship Friday. Thanks a lot for hosting. I am always happy to link up. Have a great weekend.

That is such an adorable photo. We kitties always seem to find the computer. Canasta and Scrabble are our mom's favorites as well. Her grandparents taught her to play Canasta before she could even hold the cards. Have a super sweet Saturday. Purrs and hugs from the kitties at The Cat on My Head, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Josette

That's how I learned Canasta too! I used to use a chair to hold my cards and my grandparents were very dedicated Canasta players. Enjoy your day!
