Oh. For some reason I thought you had bone dice, didn't realize they were dominoes. I also thought they were made from her bones, ha!
You know, synchronicity strikes, but I've actually thought of dominoes quite a bit over the past month and a half. When I was a young child I spent every other Saturday at my maternal grandparents', and my grandfather played quite a bit of dominoes with me, as a young child.
I am not sure I've ever played dominoes with anyone other than my grandfather, which is weird, cause I quite liked it.
I do have bone dice from the same Granny, same period, and lots of other goodies from her. They are made from bovine, I'm sure... but it would be awesome to have bone stuff from ancestors.
I love that you have the Grandfather dominoes expereince, it's such a wonderful game.
Bovine, hmm. But it's fun to think that maybe they aren't ;-)
My grandfather probably can't play dominoes anymore. His eyesight really deteriorated 2 years ago. I do find it weird how I've never played it with anyone else. I mostly see old men from the former USSR playing it these days in small coffee shops.
