solitaire

One January, more years ago than I care to remember, I went to school in a very cold and snowy day. I was in the first year in the academy and when afternoon came the snow had not stopped all day and it was decided to close the school. Unfortunately a few of us new country kids had no storm address therefore no way of getting home. We were sent to the gymhall to wait until a local family came and offered to take us home for the night. (can you see that happening today?) Anyway a family offered to take me and luckily they were lovely. We spent the evening playing cards and they taught me how to play solitaire. I have never forgotten that day, the snow, the family and of course how to play solitaire.
