Description

Growing up, my parents met with 'cousins' for an evening of poker, and mahjong. When the gathering was at our house, I could hear the mahjong tiles being shuffled and the calls of '1 bam, 4 crack, 5 dot' etc. It sounded like fun. Digital alteration of original photo or watercolor painting. This is a square format.

Years later, when age and distance meant these monthly gatherings no longer happened, my mother decided to get another weekly game together. We met weekly – whoever showed up. My mom, a sister, a sister-in-law, a cousin, friend. We had a lot of fun. This, too, in time fell apart.

Currently we meet at my house, whoever shows up on the last Sunday of every month. Even if it's just my niece and I, then we play 2-handed. My niece recently found a mahjong card from 1942.
