Those bingo ladies are savages. My mom and dad live out in Southold for many years. I will suggest to my parents to go to bingo at the Southold American Legion.
Loved reading your bingo story...and the cherished memories you had with your grandmother and are now building with your daughter. Your writing is truly delightful!
I loved this so much! I played cards with my grandmother too. We played Rook, and when Stephen and I were dating, we often went to Granny’s house to play cards with her and Papa. As we were losing my MIL to dementia, BINGO was one of the last games she could still play, so we have a BINGO set we always pulled out at family reunions so the whole family could play games together. ❤️
Lia, this bingo note resonates with me so much. There is such a generational and cultural gap between my mother and my kids. She immigrated from the Philippines. My kids (and all of my nieces and nephews) are culturally American.
However, whenever the family is all together (holidays, summer vacation) we always plan to play bingo! Both my mother and her grandkids get excited about game. We are pros -- we have a supply of 1,000 bingo sheets, colored daubers and a fancy bingo cage that spins and spits out the balls!
So, I get the excitement and the competition. I love that you also have this connection to your grandmother :)
This is so awesome! The fact that BINGO brings you all together across the culture and age gap makes so much sense. I love it. Thank you for sharing, Nan.
What an epic night and memory!! C has so much swagger in this photo!! Here’s to girls seeing themselves as winners!! (Research shows we are far less likely to see ourselves that way compared to men with similar accomplishments) 🏆
I remember your grandmother. She was so kind, sweet, and enthusiastic and you inherited these amazing traits. I’m so glad you and Carolina won Bingo! We all win when we read your delightful writing. 💕💕💕

Oh it is SO amazing! Make sure they bring cash—$1 bills for the boards!

This is such a sweet yet sad memory. A round of BINGO in your MIL memory is in order. xoxo
