Day Two Beach Mah Jongg

I love day two of Teaching beginners. They get to really play games and are slightly less anxious than they are the first day. I do less talking, and they do more. (Less talking is still relative.)

Today I got to have lunch with the Dunn girls. I had taught them before and it was nice to have them back in class. It is so nice to have students return.

While I was teaching at Dunes my friends were at Mah Jongg lunch and play at Coral Bay. After my classes ended I got to hear about how Mary Jo, Bit, Martha and Jill, met and had lunch with Reba, Ann, Betty and Neppie. Someday I will not be teaching and maybe I will be playing. But then of course the only reason I am down here is because I’m teaching. So I guess I will just have to keep doing that so I can at least have dinner with my friends.

Speaking of dinner, my hostess, who does not want any public credit, made the most fabulous dinner of a fresh caught local snapper. We had just the best time laughing at dinner enjoying her fabulous meal and secret star dessert which can not be mentioned.

I so cherish the friendships I have made because of teaching mah Jongg. It is such a joy to meet so many fun and dear people. The bonus is how much time I get to spend with them over the years. I know someday I will run out of people to teach since as Martha said tonight, “Haven’t you already taught everyone in North Carolina?” Thank goodness North Carolina keeps getting more people.
