Spec-Trix

     My bff, Jenne, is the best at giving birthday gifts.  This year she gave me an array of goodies each with a special significance to describe a characteristic about me. 

One little tag said the following:
                "Because you look for rainbows".

     I am a color fanatic.  I organize my closet in ROYGBIV order.  I enjoy the many hues of the world.  I always search for a rainbow if the sky should tease me with a little sun and even one tiny raindrop.  When one appears I wait for the flurry of texts to alert me.  Sometimes the texts send me flying out to my backyard where I search for the gift in the sky. 

    The gift that signified this care for color is a game called Spec-Trix.  It mixes the idea of Rummy with a spectrum of twelve colors.  I was in my glory.  I played with them for a bit...maybe lingered a tad in the shuffle of it all...and then dealt them.  It is a great family game and engages a different part of the brain which is always fun.  No words necessary.  No math involved.  Just gorgeous, colorful cards.  Mmmmmmmm.  I love this game!!!  I am very grateful for rainbows.  And games of rainbows!!   And friends who give me games of rainbows!!!

  Thanks, Jenne!!!
