kitchen floor--a few months ago when the kitchen floor began to sag, we discovered a small leak under our kitchen sink. A huge portion of the subfloor needed replacing. Luckily we were able to get a vinyl pattern that was extremely similar to our old one...just a little more brown to go with the gray swirl than it had previously. So glad the job finally was taken care of.
new games: Point Salad and Letter Jam--Andrew had rated some games in a recent blog post (https://agamedesignersblog.blogspot.com/2021/08/cosmere-and-andrew-reviews-some-games.html) and Eric went out and bought 2 of the games. We really like them. Point Salad is very easy to play. Letter Jam in kind of like a cooperative MasterMind game using words--not as easy to play as Point Salad. Our first game of Letter Jam was painful, but it didn't take us too long to get the hang of it.
Andrew's review of Letter Jam: Letter Jam is a game which in my opinion logically shouldn't work yet somehow does. And I loved it. The main idea is the cards all have a letter on them. You can see everyone else's card, but not yours. It's co-op, so you are trying to give them clues so they know what their letter is and they are doing the same to you. How it works is you spell words with those letters, laying down number chips. So if I see an L, a T, an E, and an R, I can put the 1 chip in front of the L, the 2 chip in front of the E, the 3 and 4 chips in front of the T, the 5 chip in front of the E, and the 6 chip in front of the R. So the player with the T is like, huh, the word is LE**ER, is it lesser? letter? And the other players are doing so as well, narrowing down what their letter is. (9/10)
Andrew's review of Point Salad: Point Salad is a fast card game where every card has one of six types of veggies on the front, and on the back of every card is a completely unique scoring condition. On the table are six cards veggie side up and three scoring condition side up. Turns are fast: either grab two veggie cards or one scoring card. If you grab veggies, the card with the scoring on them get flipped to their veggie side to take their place. I enjoyed this one a lot. The game is fast, fun, with lots of options, cool scoring conditions, and clever plays. I highly recommend this one. (9/10)
Glen's new calling...isn't too much different from his previous. He was 2nd counselor in the Elders Quorum Presidency, and when the EQ Presidency was reorganized, he was called to be the first counselor to a new President. He'll have the same tasks as before, but if the President can't come to our Ward Council meetings on Sundays, Glen will get to go with me (which he did a few Sundays ago).
My trip to California--I got to go to Disneyland and California Adventure Disney with my friends! We had such a wonderful time just visiting, eating, and riding the rides (loved Guardians of the Galaxy, Rise of the Resistance, and a bunch of other rides as well as the interactive Turtle Talk show, and if I ever go back to Disneyland, I plan to never go on the Matterhorn ever again).
