♦️♠️Playing cards keeps the mind sharp and each player you see here is playing to win! There are sometimes stretches of silence and all of a sudden the room erupts with a giant "Yes, I did it!"

♣️♥️We are delighted that Gina, Stevie and a host of residents continue to "deal" with Kings in the Corner and that Jack taught us that when is comes to staying sharp this is the real"deal" that assists us.
