I sure miss my sweet & classy neighbor JoJo and especially on Saturdays and Sundays!!! JoAnn and I would get together on weekend mornings for a cribbage game, mah-jongg or backgammon.
She tried to teach me Mah-jongg but I just wasn´t getting it and I had to ask her how to use the jokers too many times until she finally looked at me and said "if you ask me one more question about using the jokers"
so that was the picture on my phone for JoJo Mah-jongg jokers!
I guess the reality is I miss her every day not just on the weekends. It´s just harder on Saturdays and Sundays...
I will take great care of our cribbage board Jo and i´ll bring it with me the next time I see you I love you, Neighbor
