Stan Of The Highlands: " . . . and I'll raise you a nickel"

All Info Pertaining to The Highlands

Jean and I moved to The Highlands in the Fall of 2007 from our home on Cousins Island in Yarmouth where we had lived for 30 wonderful years. I often think that I'd like to share a thought or an experience about our life here at The Highlands with other folks . . . and by this "blog" I am going to do so. One other thought. The Highlands is not in any way responsible for this website. This is wholly the personal responsibility of Stan Sylvester. Jean Sylvester has her own site at http://www.catcarewithlove.blogspot.com/ mostly devoted to her writings, her poetry and her experience as a professional cat care person in Yarmouth. SPECIAL NOTE TO VISITORS: In addition to scrolling down to view contents of my blog, when you reach the bottom you can click on "older posts" to review all the topics I've posted.

" . . . and I'll raise you a nickel"

There are numerous opportunities for card players here at The Highlands. Bridge games take place on Thursdays at the Holden Frost House and on Fridays in the Maine Lodge.

Cribbage games are regularly scheduled and informal cribbage matches are frequent. In addition, poker players gather three evenings a week.

Jo Atlass enjoys both bridge and poker

Jim Nolan is "in the chips"

Do the green eyeshades which Dot Livingston and the other poker players are wearing make them look like professional gamblers?

Joe Goldstein demonstrates his special shuffle

Meg Cousins loves to play poker and it is she who organizes the games

This is a view of the whole group of poker players, between hands, in the Craft Room on April 6, 2011. Everyone is invited to join. Look for the days and times of games in the weekly newsletter, The Highlighter, or check with Meg Cousins.

What a good looking group of people all decked out in their visors. It seems like a good time was had by all!
