The Fever is Real

I am the luckiest person on Earth. Thanks to my friend Ruth E. Russ and I get a fabulous vacation while I teach Mah Jongg. Tonight Ruth E. and her husband Frank threw a giant (!!!!!) party for all the Mah Jongg Students and their spouses.

I have just finished teaching two classes of new students who are now addicted and they were at the party, along with all the students to who have come just for strategy class. So I got to see favorites from last year and meet new ones who were just coming in. Nebraska was back in the house and I was thrilled to see those girls.

The largest contingent is from Houston. I finally met my BFF Suzanne’s friend Carson from Houston! There is nothing more fun than making friends with your fiends friends. I am making plans to go to Houston and can’t wait.

One of last year’s students, Laura, made an entire set of mah jongg pieces in cookies for the party! They are an incredible work of art that Ruth E. displayed on Mah Jongg racks in winning hand combinations.

Besides celebrating all things Mah Jongg it was also Dixie DeKoning ‘s birthday and her darling daughter Daria brought a cake to celebrate her mother.

I am only slightly exhausted, but have to rally for tomorrow because there are at least 54 people in this class. The expectations are high, but it’s nothing but fun. Thanks Ruth E., I love coming here.
