I canвЂ™t wait to see all the wonderful tablescapes on this Tablescape Thursday! Please take time to visit each of the tablescape links posted above. Hope you enjoyed this tale of Trivial Pursuit. It was all we could do to keep from jumping onto their table and doing a little jig right there! As my Father-in-Law was often known to say, вЂњEven a blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then.вЂќ That would pretty much describe my talents at Trivial Pursuit. I will never forget the look on their faces. My DH didnвЂ™t know what to think he slowly and somewhat reluctantly turned to the Colonel and his wife and asked, more than stated, вЂњhoney?вЂќ I donвЂ™t remember the exact wording of that final questionвЂ¦but it basically went like this: What substance, sometimes used as a sweetener, can also be used as an antiseptic for a cut or wound?ДЇINALLY, I KNEW ONE! I eagerly leaned over and whispered into my DHвЂ™s earвЂ¦itвЂ™s вЂњhoneyвЂќвЂ¦the answer is вЂњhoney.вЂќ He looked at me like I was nuts and asked, вЂњAre you sure?вЂќ вЂњYES, yes,вЂќ I whispered. With raised eyebrow, the Colonel read the questionвЂ¦you could have cut the tension with a knife! And now, as the dice was rolled by my DH, we were in the center again, needing just one last pie slice to win the game. We had been playing for what seemed like FOREVER! The Colonel and his wife were getting edgy because we were tied, neck and neck. As I had anticipated, I was of little help to my DH throughout the game. Each couple was allowed to confer with their partner when their turn came up. The game commenced and we were holding our own, thanks to my DH. I had often accused him of being a вЂњwalking set of encyclopedias.вЂќ This was before the days of Google or I would have accused him of being a вЂњwalking Google!вЂќ However, I had complete confidence in my DH. I knew I was probably going to be next to useless in answering questions throughout the game. I, on the other hand, have a memory like a sieve! Well, up until that night, neither had my husband. You could sense their excitementвЂ¦they made a point to tell us they had NEVER, EVER lost a game of Trivial Pursuit. Plus, they were both licensed pilotsвЂ¦we were just a little bit intimidated. He was an Attorney, like my DH, and she had her PhD in Psychology. They suggested we team upвЂ¦вЂќthemвЂќ against вЂњus.вЂќ Though I knew my DH was one smart cookie, so was the Colonel and his wife. After dinner, the Colonel and his wife eagerly suggested a game of Trivial Pursuit.

Army, Judge Advocate GeneralвЂ™s Corps (JAG Corps), we were invited to dinner at the home of one of my DHвЂ™s superiors, a Colonel, who was also an Officer in the JAG Corps. Many, many years ago, when my DH was a Captain in the U.S. In pursuit of some fun, IвЂ™m hoping you wonвЂ™t think it too trivial if I share this little tablescape, and a little tale of a night IвЂ™ll never forget. ItвЂ™s game night, grab a Coke and come join in.
