I also had the same grandmother as Soapweed so I also played a lot of cards with her.  It brings back great memories.  I also remember playing rummy  and chess with Soapweed and my personal favorite as a child was playing pitch and rounding up members of my family so we had enough to play.  Now we play a lot of cribbage and my daughter just got "Catch Phrase" for her birthday and we stayed up until midnight last Saturday playing that.
