Hi Crispie,    Thanks for the info! I will definitely check out those guys. If everything goes smoothly, it looks like we're moving to Auburn. I'm having very mixed emotions about being back in my hometown....

Hi Allison,    That's an exciting move! Are you enjoying the country life?   We are moving June 4 (plane tickets are purchased!) but we still don't know where we're going to live. We've been looking more at...

Sorry for the delayed response. Life and all that. Thank you so much for these suggestions. I love the idea of counting different items to one hundred, and I've been eyeballing Qwirkle for a while. Time to jump on...
