  Sepia Saturday challenges bloggers to dig into the past and share photos based on a visual prompt. This week we have a smiling couple with a shiny, sleek car.

  Sepia Saturday has challenged bloggers with a photo of a man playing solitaire. Playing cards, solo or with others, is a fine pastime. I fondly remember my grandmother teaching me and my siblings to shuffle cards and play gin. An aunt tried to teach us poker. Bridge is a game that seems to have ended with my mother's generation.

My sister was here on business from Utah so we got to see her. The food wasn't as good as the first Chinese dinner I made last month. I'm not quite sure why. I've started my taxes and am doing some spring cleaning to declutter. I want to get rid of the papers I don't need which seem to proliferate.
