When you were little didn't your mom or grandmother have at least a box, shelf or drawer full of neat toys and games for you to dig into? Well, at the cottage we had a steamer trunk. No, I have no idea where it came from, but its musty smell told me it was plenty old.

I didn't have to be told though, that the trunk had seen many younger years. Its outside was rubbed at the bottom, worn on both ends, and the hinges had long since begun to rust. The inside lining was a little ripped and worn - just tired looking.

It was a terrific trunk!

Just like a kid, even we adults need some play time .... a chance to just waste away a few moments like we did in our early years. The games chest is for just those kinds of times when you don't want to have to burn brain cells thinking, wondering and fretting over ancestors and today's problems.

Some of the games will take you away from the cottage. If that happens, just hit your back browser to return here. Or, even better, I hope you've already bookmarked our site so you'll always be able to return [and why wouldn't you want to?].
