I chuckled out loud when I read your last sentence, Rebecca, which is a bit spooky as I sit alone in the darkness on the 5th floor of an empty office building ... I hope none of the cleaning people were frightened. Being male in gender, Joshua would be a ‘doyen’, which is shorter and easier to spell and therefore more suited to the masculine temperament.

Samuel is the only one who still makes them in our house, but I still remember the days when Timothy and I would strip the cushions of half the sofas in the house and erect constructions that (if you asked Mom nicely) might last a week. It looks like Rachel is becoming quite the cooking doyenne (I'm not sure if this is the best place to use this word, but I just learned it recently and needed to slip it in somewhere)! I guess Joshua is too, but I'm not sure he would really want to be called a doyenne. Besides, he's been a master chef for ages and ages and so it isn't as impresive for him to do some cooking. The impressive thing is that he left any for the rest of you - he is, after all, a teenager. Ah… forts.

I'm going to use that one. I get a little tired of saying fort all the time, sounds a little too much like you might be trying to say that other f*rt word which isn't allowed in my house. LOL! I bet your kiddos, in their lofty old age, don't even build dens any more. Sigh. It's hard to see them grow up and out of these stages that seem to last forever and then are suddenly gone. No rush to leave Carcassonne. I think it's a great game! You do, however, need to check out some of those expansion packs I mentioned a while back. Do it slowly, just add one or two to the mix and see if you like them. I can guarantee you will think they are fun and change things up a bit. Just try it!! :) Dorothy–I like that, “dens.” I’m going to use that one.

Ah-Ha! We call them *dens* here. Yes, I remember them well. I don't think I'm ready to move on to another game yet. I'm still mastering the finer points of Carcassonne! {g} But I'll have to check out Puerto Rico. Dorothy Forts! Ah-Ha! We call them *dens* here.
