Take Your Pick

I bought a new game from a lady in my ward who does game parties along the lines of Pampered Chef and Creative Memories. My family has played it a couple of times and it's fun. Each card has a choice of two words and you try to guess which word a certain person will pick. Examples: Sunrise or sunset, mountain or beach, etc. You can order blank cards and make up your own choices. I thought of quite a few and decided to try them out on my blog to see how well you all know me. The first choice is A and the second is B. List your guesses in the comments section and then try this on your own blogs.

  3. Book, you got 14 right and Cassie got 17. I'll put my answers up in a few days. So was this fun or too long or just irritating?

  5. Who knows her own mother? We'll have to play this game next time I come home which will have to be sometime this month so I borrow your camera for Europe.

  8. Cardine, you only got 10. We really need to get to know each other better. Julie should bring you to Vernal sometime.

    Alyson, 15 right. Better than my sister but not as good as my daughter.

    After playing the game the other night, I'm amazed at how differently we see ourselves versus how others see us. Based on that experience, you've all done very well.
