Treye's Card #3

Claudia @ Highlowaha said...

Krysten, we are reviewing cards. Tell me your numbers. Toni is here at my house playing.

If need be. We will spin until either you or Toni get the next number on your WINNING card.

Anonymous said...

I'm a little amused that we could pick our numbers any way we wanted, and 4 people all needed the same number.

Krysten,

If we go that route, the five people (16 cards) sitting in my kitchen will have an unfair advantage.

Thanks for being flexible and rolling with the punches as we figure this out.
