Your Deal

There was a time in my life, let’s call it the late nineties, when I always had a deck of cards in my purse. They got a particular amount of play (wha!) on summer evenings, hanging out with friends. Euchre was the game and we all knew how to play.

I like the idea of hosting an old-fashioned card party a la Etheline Tenenbaum or Betty Draper. My ideal scenario would be to string some lights in my fantasy backyard patio (add outdoor space to my manifestation list!), pull out the card table, mix up a pitcher of Pimm’s Cup and play a few rounds with music wafting through the windows. Doesn’t that just sound lovely! Who’s in?
