Yesterday, daughter Dinah, grand daughter Alix and her new hubby Brendan Quinn and I had a festive and happy Sunday afternoon, with a dumpling lunch 💥( in the Bishop Ranch Shopping Mall) in San Ramon. Our lunch was super delicious and even my first time to taste vegetable dishes in a Dimsum Restaurant. The afternoon was followed by 3 hours of Philippine mahjong in Dinah's place in Dublin. It is an afternoon I will always remember in my aging years.
Playing Philippine mahjong using 16 tiles and 3 jokers is more exciting and challenging than the standard 13 tiles-no joker Hong Kong style game we play here at THD. It have been a while I had a winning 7 pair hand with out a joker ( see photo below).
My last hand was also a 7-pair with 2 jokers but lost to a hand without a joker. This is good illustration that mahjong game is 99% luck once you mastered the basic of the game.
Here is another photo taken by Brendan of our Mahjong Game in Dinah's Apartment.

David - True, growoing old is wonderful - but not always or not all of the time. There are quite a few losses we are called on to bear, both physical and emotional. But your positive attitude is a beautiful thing to see. Phil
