Same server, same game We too were at the Chowning tavern and had Molly teach us a dice game. I am trying to remember the name of the game and how to play it. (My travel journal from that trip was lost in a move) Do you, or anyone else, remember how to play it?

Happy Travels Hi Wes and Joanne, glad to see you’re enjoying more travels. The photos are great too! It’s nice to read of the sights, sounds and tastes from your many stops along the way. Thanks for keeping us posted and sharing the fun. We really liked the photos with the frog... very nice. Enjoy!
Schenectady's One County One Book Schenectady has the most successful community reading programs in the region (and possibly the whole state). My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult is being read and discussed all over Schenectady County and beyond - over 1000 people attended an author event - speaks well of this literate little city.
Lookin' good Hey Mark and Jean - Battle Ready is big and stong and in very capable hands here at New Episode - Tony, Elizabeth, Shannon, Virginia, and Israel and the others here really know their horses - The McMahons really know what they are doing sending their (our) two year olds here - no wonder FunnyCide did so well! We are loving it - when we return at the end of March, they will be breezing!
Battle Ready Hey Wes and Joann, How's he look? Looks good in the photo. What do the stable folks down there have to say about his progress/prognosis for being a winner?
Great blog, keep writing.
Mark and Jean in cold and snowy Quaker Springs!
Sterling Cruise Hey Snazzy - yes, all free; but it's good form to tip the cocktail servers! The only catch is that you don't get too caught up in the gambling! We took time out to eat, people watch, sun ourselves on the aft deck, and we brought books along.
Great blog! We were thinking of doing the Sterling Casino cruise but I didn't know if there was a catch, is there really free everything? Might be worth a look into on our way back up the coast. Glad to see you are back on the road.
Hi: glad to hear you are having a great time on this years trip. Jack and I did a gasperella parade cruise in Jan. It was a great trip and something I know you would enjoy. It is a little like october fest. Let us know if you are going to be in our area next year and we can show you another great Florida party. have a safe fun trip and thank you for sending your pictures.
Hello Hello there. Was checking out new journals and stumbled across yours. It's great to see another couple RV'ing this great land and blogging about it. I must say, you are doing it more comfortably then we are :) Never knew about boondocking in Cracker Barrel, you learn something new everyday. Safe Travels. Deb aka SnazzySmith
Makes me want to visit Greetings from the North Country! Your description makes me want to travel south for sure - dogwood, wisteria, azaela...... sounds heavenly!
We are a couple, now in our early 70's, traveling in a 34" Holiday Vacationer Motor Home. Wes is a GE pensioner who just ended a 50 + year career, most recently consulting with the company.

Dice Game
WE too learned a dice game at Chowning's and although contacting them is of no use, we're trying to remember how to play it! Please help!
