Playing Cards

Last night Grace wanted to play a game of Skipbo. Matt and Kaitlyn were busy doing other things so Grace and I sat down and broke out the cards. We only had about 30 minutes before bed so, if you know how to play Skipbo, I only had 10 cards in our pile. I was thinking it would most likely take us longer than 30 minutes. In less than 10 minutes Grace had gone through all her cards and I still had 9 left!! So we dealt her 9 more and continued playing. Less than 10 minutes later her pile was gone again and I still had 7 left. SO....we dealt her 7 more. OK now you must me thinking I was letting her win. NO WAY! She was holding her own from the start! So before our 30 minutes were up Grace had gone through her 3rd pile of cards and I STILL had 6 cards left!!! Sitting there I looked at her and told her~ Great Grandpa must be sitting right next to you giving you all his skill. She got a BIG smile on her face turned to her right and said "Thanks Grandpa". It was such an amazing moment. So sweet and innocent. Grandpa Kalmbach's spirit came to visit it us last night. I truly believe that.
