WHEN MAH JONGG IS “CATTY…”
You might remember the blog posting from last week about our friend Audrey’s cats playing late-night Mah Jongg. Well, it appears that Audrey isn’t the only one with MJ-loving kitties. Our dear friend Stuart in Seattle sent me the following: “Ann, I suppose you’ll now be inundated with cat pics. Here is Nathan waiting for the tiles (Photo 3) and his predecessor Izzy waiting for the other players.”
My doggie Lizzie couldn’t care less when the MJ tiles come spilling out. But I certainly never knew that Mah Jongg could be a “catty” game…
ALL THAT GLITTERS…IS FABULOUS!!!
That Lynn Chorn from www.wherethewindsblow.com is one fabulous lady. She is one of the great supporters of the April 14th Stay Strong and Mahj On (SSAMO) luncheon and Mah Jongg event at Sarabeth’s, and has donated her fabulous pink glitter Breast Cancer Awareness Mah Jongg set for the raffle. And not only is she supporting this fun – and worthwhile – event but she has decided to share her generosity with everyone – this Breast Cancer Awareness set normally sells for $145.00 BUT for a limited time you can buy it for only $109.99.
I own this set and I can promise you that it is special and something that I treasure. It is a great gift for any and everyone, especially those whose lives – or the lives of loved ones – have been touched by breast cancer. This sale won’t last long so take advantage of this very special set while the price is so right!
Check out these wonderful “Find the Cure” Jokers that match the pink glitter tiles of the set:
And look at everything that comes with this set, including the great pair of dice and pink racks with pushers attached!
BTW, the set also comes with ten regular pink glitter Jokers, just in case you want to use the “Find the Cure” pink ribbon tiles for something else.
MARK YOUR CALENDARS!
I am so excited about this Stay Strong and Mahj On upcoming event including lunch and Mah Jongg on April 14 at the beautiful – and delicious – Sarabeth’s! Linda Feinstein is the honorary chair plus we have the best benefit committee! I hope all of you in the tri-state area will attend what promises to be a fun and memorable afternoon.
Please go here to register: www.staystrongandmahjon.org/events – we are limited to 100 attendees and you won’t want to miss out. Great prizes and raffle items along with knowing that your donation is benefitting a wonderful breast cancer charity!
And much thanks to our dear friend, Lynn Chorn of www.wherethewindsblow.com, for all of her very generous support and caring.
A (REALLY!) FUNNY STORY…
My dear friend Audrey sent me the following message…I’m still laughing!
“I have a funny story to tell you. Last night I took out my set to lay out the hands. I went to sleep and kept hearing clicking and clacking all night. My husband woke up and said, ‘You have two really smart cats.’ I asked why and he told me the cats were playing Mah Jongg. Lo and behold, they had taken the stopper off the betting chips, had jettisoned the chips and the tiles everywhere, and had even thrown the dice! LOL! You can’t make this stuff up!”
WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
I received a truly interesting question yesterday and wanted to share it with you to receive your answers and comments. I will post them in a few days…
Here’s the question –
We have a player that no one wants to play with. Unfortunately she’s a neighbor & no one wants to hurt her feelings. When it is her turn she takes forever to make her play. It disrupts the flow of the game. Is there a time limit for each player? Thank you.
