THat was so hard it hurt! Could not have made it without clues! thanks

Thanks for the clues, Susan. The 8 1st one was hard to remember.

It's quite late . . . J first, J plays over. 8 first. 9 first. Work on playing Spades up through 10 and Diamonds up through 9. Order of Kings is the same. Hope this helps.

I was afraid of that. So many of us just lost our stars.

Oops! Sorry pretty late to play today's game. Have not looked your clues, and not sure what I did differently than yours right now.

You are allowed to be spoiled Norm.. sweet dreams to you and all the Cravers out there

We just got back from McCall's listening to The Nightly Blues Band, a new group from Orlando. Very good but a bit loud since we had trouble hearing the vocalist. Too many snowbirds there and not enough regulars.Maybe I'm spoiled.

No No No!!! Don't you dare spend time away from the game !

I think I know the feeling -- when I see so many others are finding low score and I'm still struggling and lost ! I need to be spending more time away from the game as well.

I was beginning to despair. That comes from not having played all day, which I shouldn't be doing anyway.
