We played a quick game – which I didn’t win and was going crazy trying to put a hand together. At first I was trying to play a Winds hand and then I switched over to the FFFF 1111 9999 DD hand. But with no Jokers and a quick winner sitting next to me, I had no chance. I do think that being able to switch hands is key to being a good Mah Jongg player. J has always been great at changing hands and I am really working on this skill. And then lunch was served. K never disappoints – lunch was delish, starting with a yummy gazpacho served in the cutest new bowls:
Don’t you love those bowls?! Next was a wonderful chicken salad plus my favorite – tomato and avocado salad with blue cheese:
And after a quick and delicious lunch, we were back at the table. This closed 2468 hand is one of my favorites and S1 played it beautifully:
K finessed this Consecutive Run hand – again, one of my favorites on this new (not so new any longer!) 2014 card.
J declared Mah Jongg with a 369 hand before we barely had begun the game:
X breathed a big sigh of relief when she picked a Soap (almost at the very end of the game) to complete this 2014 hand – three Soaps were already exposed on S1’s rack but luck was on her side:
And although I left early (still being plagued by this stupid cold – day 10 now of feeling lousy), I was happy to somehow pull together this 13579 hand, thanks to picking up some lucky Jokers!
As always, Mah Jongg Wednesday with the OMs is the best day of the week!
