I was a mother with 5 children (Sherri was only a few weeks old) we had just moved to Orofino Idaho and were living in a rally run down very very old home by the rail road tracks while we waited for the move in day to occupy the home we had purchased on Wixson Heights. I went to the grocery store and saw a package of jacks and a ball. I thought Deann and Tammy might like to learn how to play jacks to help pass the time, since we knew no one and the house we lived in had no yard and was just off the main street of town, next door to a dry cleaners with a rail road track running by the side of the house and a huge creek (looked like a big river to this desert rat!) on the other side of the house. The only problem was that when we tried to play the jacks the floors in our temporary abode were so crooked that the ball wouldn't bounce so you could catch it. It just rolled away to the down hill side. We weren't very succesful and I haven't tried since! I remember the last time I ever played jacks.
