Lizzie and I are wishing you a very happy 2018 Chinese New Year of the Dog. Here’s hoping that this lucky year will bring you many Mah Jongg wins! My dear friend Tai has told me some extra things you can do today to make sure luck is with you all during this Year of the Dog: wear red; start the day with something sweet; eat an orange; and don’t bathe today (!) as you might wash away all the good luck you are storing up. But the most important tip – have a very happy 2018 Chinese New Year of the Dog! 
Thanks to Dogtime.com for these great explanations of the Year of the Dog!
Here’s Lizzie wishing you a happy Year of the Dog!
Mah Jongg and Me
Mah Jongg is not just a game. It has become a part of my life that allows me to entertain my Mah Jongg-playing friends, cook great meals to serve to them and test my mental skills during our game play (which, hopefully, is often).

Ha! Well, I must admit that I wore sweats and a tee shirt today and didn’t see anyone. Can’t wait for the shower tomorrow morning!
