Earring 0246 Playing Cards

My sister-in-law got me started on playing cards on Internet on http://www.euchre-cardgame.com/. Originally, I was playing Whist but when I saw they had Euchre, I quickly changed to that. It reminds me a lot of playing 500, which is a game we grew up playing. My parents were involved in several card parties (anywhere from one couple to multiple couples) and played cards often each month. When my mom passed, I became my dad's card partner on many occasions. When he passed, card playing kind of fizzled out. It's a lot easier to play cards with others when there's more than one person instead of odd man out.

Thinking about the 500 card game reminded me of a funny word "inkle" so I looked it up. From what I gather at http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/inkle it seems like a form of the word may have been around for some time. Here's information about the card game itself http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/500_(card_game). I was surprised to see that people in Canada plays it a lot. Maybe it will be like other things in history and make a comeback in the United States. It sure helps people bond with one another.
