A Friendly Competition Between Ortons, Chamberlains, & Bodilys

Thanks to the Chamberlains, we recently learned how to play the card game, Hand and Foot.
Since then, we have learned that we are about the only ones around here 
who have not heard of it before. 
 Its a good game though, and if not careful, a little addictive.
We have since got together with the Hathaways and Rancies to hone our card playing skills, only to lose big time.  There is no winning against them - they are masters at this game.
Surprisingly, we were finished at the church today earlier than usual, so we excepted Chamberlain's invitation for another try at Hand and Foot, but this time at the Orton's place.
We discovered that the Chamberlains are quite competitive and rarely lose.
But, tonight it seems they were down on their luck.  Guess who reaped the benefits of that one?
No, not Elder Bodily and I, but we proudly came in second.  It was Elder and Sister Orton who came off as the winners, and by a landslide.  We obviously need more practice.
We had an enjoyable evening with these
 hard working and fun-loving Asia Area missionaries.
Sister Orton even baked and served a yummy pumpkin pie.
Anyone for a game of Spoons?

I don't want to risk my new chairs with a game of spoon, maybe we could play that at your house next month and we'd love to learn how to play Hand and Foot, too!
