Something that I always enjoy doing with my Dad is play chess. He seems always focused when he's playing and for sometime after. Cool

But, He does love cribbage so I need to ask our neighbor if he plays.

Just this week, I've set hubby up with lights and bought some 100pc and 300 pc puzzles at the thrift store. It took him 5hrs and he got the larger one done. He was very proud of himself! So was I as that gave me 5hr of him not jumping up and down and wandering around the house. Smiler

I also suggested Solitaire so he's been flipping the cards around all day. Since he turns them over 1 at a time, he wins every time!

I'm now wondering if one of those large posters that can be colored in with felt markers would be a good brain exercise?

Played tic-tac-toe with my honey at the NH last evening. Will try that again today, as I am going in at lunchtime on my way to work. I am also going to see if I can find some easy card or word games. They say he is doing well on the unit word games. So that's a good sign. Got to keep his brain going till there is a cure, no?
