Last weekend I hung out with some of my family who live in this area. We had a great time, and one of the coolest details of the evening was that we ate ice cream sundaes out of sundae dishes from the restaurant my great-grandparents used to own. It was like experiencing a little taste of my family history that I've only heard about in stories.
I knew my great-grandma, but not my great-grandpa, and they no longer had the restaurant by the time I came along. Incidentally, in yet another small-world twist, a woman from one of my congregations (the one with the hat collection and awesome garage door) used to cut this great-grandma's hair.
Meanwhile, I know you're noticing the sweet-looking board game behind the sundae. It's called Bermuda Triangle and the tag on it said it was from 1976. You try to move your ships around the board, collecting money at each port, while avoiding the storm could, which also moves around. If you get too close, the storm sucks up your ship with a magnet so it's history. Coolest thing ever!
Family history and awesome board games
