TOBY ALWAYS MAKES ME SMILE…
I love receiving emails from my dear friend Toby Salk who lives in my once-upon-a-time home of Berkeley, CA. Her email photos always bring a smile and I thought you might enjoy a couple of her most recent pictures. And, by the way, if you live in or around the Bay Area then you are lucky enough to either take Mah Jongg lessons from Toby or join in her Sunday Mah Jongg brunches and other Mah Jongg events.
And don’t forget about Toby’s big yard sale TODAY, July 22, 2017, from 10am – 2pm. Email me at ann@mahjonggandme.com for her address if you are interested in checking it out. 
CALIFORNIA…HERE I COME!
I hope to see many of you at my presentation and book signing followed by a luncheon and then game play! This all takes place on Thursday, December 8th starting at 11am in Irvine, CA.
YOU PROBABLY DIDN’T KNOW THAT I COULD READ YOUR PALM…
From the brilliantly talented artist, John Davis, comes this wonderful vision of Mah Jongg palmistry:
BECOME YOUR OWN PALM READER!!!
Amaze yourself and your friends with this handy illustrated guide to the Ancient Art of Mahj Palmistry!!!
Simply compare your hand with others to unlock the secrets of your destiny!!!!
The very talented John Davis lives in Thousand Oaks, California. His fabulous Mah Jongg-themed art is available for sale and you can see it all on his website. I know you are going to enjoy his work and I can’t wait to read your comments about this amazing guy. And, much thanks to John for letting me blog about him and show you an example of his vision of our beloved game.

A ridiculous amount of fun is what Toby Salk promises you will have if you are signed up for one of her events held in the Berkeley, CA area.
