NOTHING IS BETTER THAN...

... PLAYING IN THE KITCHEN.

MARY AND GREG PLAYED IN MANY WAYS....

..AND THEIR GAMES WERE REALLY SERIOUS...

AS THEY REQUIRED ATTENTION AND PRECISION.

THE EFFORTS BROUGHT TO A DELICIOUS MEAL

                                                        WITH AN EXCELLENT END.
