My husband went to breakfast last weekend and met up with his old cronies for the first time in almost a year. They’re a group of men who commandeer a large table at our local restaurant, drink endless cups of coffee and solve the world’s problems. Since he hadn’t seen them in a while, the husband filled them in on our storage barn to man cave transformation. When he got to the part about the pool table, an 85 year old gentleman said he loved to play…. so naturally he received an invitation.

Husband won the first game and I’m sure he was thinking he should take it easy on the older man.

Which was about the time this delightful senior citizen began to whip my beloved’s ass.

85? Maybe so. But he had no problem running the table for the next three games.

The fifth found my husband in a pickle. Because that sly senior plays a good defensive game as well.

The husband had stripes.
🤣

Watch it lady–I AM 85!!

Oh my, well I’m glad your hubs invited that gentleman over for a game. I’m sure the gentleman billiards wiz was grateful to have some interaction with other men because of the pandemic. Even if it came at your hubby’s expense 😝🤣

I’m glad fit the 85-yr-old. I’m sure they enjoyed it. Maybe you can beat the old guy at Scrabble.

He saw our board, and apparently he’s a shark at that as well.

I played chess with an old friend while drunk one night, and systematically took him apart – we laughed about it, but it was nice to be on the “giving out” end for a change 🙂

Drunken chess? I’m impressed. My mental skills tend to decrease with alcohol.

You guys are going to have such fun in your Barn Bar this summer. I’m waiting for you to realize that pool is the best drinking game ever!

I’ve never understood needing a game to drink…. but if you say so.

85 years of experience is going to make you good at several things, mmm hmm. Let me know how the eventual Scrabble game goes. Because I know you won’t be able to resist the challenge… 😉
