| The prompt for Week 16: childhood games This game is from my mom's childhood—and she's 93! Her set of jacks was one of the things that just had to be saved when her house was done in by Hurricane Sandy last year. |

| She made the bag herself—about 85 years ago(!) from a Domino's sack (apparently their sugar came in a cloth sack back then). [To see more of the 52 Photos project, visit Bella's meme.] |
