Villas are becoming an important part of planning for a vacation in Italy. In Roman culture a villa used to be a luxurious country house built by a member of the upper class as a second or third residence. It was not the main place of residence and city folks usually had 2 villas. One of the 2 villas could be easily reached from Rome if needed and the other was seasonally used and had servants permanently there to run it. After the nineteenth century, villas came to be used in reference to any type of single detached house that stood on its own with its own compound and unattached to any other homes or buildings.

When I was growing up, every Holiday was a time for the family and extended family to get together and eat. After dinner, we always played cards. Card games varied, although we normally played several variations of poker. It was relatively easy to learn a new card game and we normally passed the deck around in a clockwise motion, every participant getting a chance to deal and pick the game they wanted to play. There are hundreds of different “dealer’s choice” games, all with different variations. Once someone learns the concept of poker, it is simple to learn a new game or make one up.
