North of the 45th!

Hi! I'm Becky (or Partly most everywhere on the web). I live in a small town in north-centeral Wisconsin. I've been married 22 years and we have a 18-year-old daughter who's heading to college this fall. This Tumblr is just bits and pieces of my life. I'm actually scattered across the web:      I'm more talky over at my livejournal.      I can usually be found over at facebook      If you're interested, you can find my fanfic either at ff.net or ao3.      I also Twitter: new TWTR.Widget({ version: 2, type: 'profile', rpp: 4, interval: 6000, width: 250, height: 300, theme: { shell: { background: '#ffffff', color: '#0f6b01' }, tweets: { background: '#ffffff', color: '#000000', links: '#000000' } }, features: { scrollbar: false, loop: false, live: true, hashtags: true, timestamp: true, avatars: false, behavior: 'all' } }).render().setUser('Partly').start();

Flick 'em Up! Gun fight at Walden Lake. Adorable little dexterity game. I'm always happy when the good guys win; unfortunately, I'm play the outlaws. #flickemup (at The Goblin Workshop)

Splendor. A very simple game with a depth of strategy. It's a game that can be played lightly with lots of chatting and table talk or it can be done in deep contemplation and silence. Either way, it's a great game. #splendor #gamesagainstcancer (at The Goblin Workshop)

Settlers of Cataan. Credited with kicking off the board game renaissance, it is a resource management and area control game that relies heavily on player interaction. This great game deserves its accolades. #settlersofcatann #gamesagainstcancer (at The Goblin Workshop)

Terror in Meeple City! In this fast moving dexterity game, you are terrorizing Meeple City! Be the biggest baddest big bad out there! #terrorinmeeplecity #gamesagainstcancer (at The Goblin Workshop)

[partly]

Timeline - a fast card game where you have to place happenings in chronological order. Lots of different versions of this game; this was the pop culture one. #timeline #gamesagainstcancer (at The Goblin Workshop)

I have several of these little guys hanging around the homestead. This one didn't care I was walking about and talking to him but he objected to the lawnmower. #northofthe45th #lifeisgood

[partly]

Beer and Games at the Sawmill Brewery. Played some great games. It was a wonderful night. I think we will need to schedule it there more often. #sawmillbrewery #lifeisgood (at Sawmill Brewing Company)

Playing #fortuneandglory. Which seems appropriate since today is the 35th anniversary of Raiders of the Lost Ark. (at The Goblin Workshop)

[partly]

Drinks with breakfast -- although the red solo cups are water. We paired out breakfasts perfectly. Oddly enough I really liked the Bloody Mary Wil had. #lifeisgood #goodtobeanadult (at Whitedog Blackcatcafe)

Final game of the weekend was Quadropolis. It's not a flashy as some of the games we played but it was still nicely done. Solid city building theme with good choice and scoring mechanisms. I liked it. #NexusGameFair #quadropolis

[partly]

Playing Lucky Loop. Looks nice but the scoring is a little wonky and the dice make it really random. Still fun. #nexusgamefair #luckyloop

[partly]

Tikal. An interesting tile placement, area control, set collection, worker placement game. It was fun, even if I'm not good at tile placement. #nexusgamefair #tikal

[partly]

A bunch of Ferns loitering in front of Walmart.

Seems like a lot of stuff to make a coffee... But the result is delicious! #homecafe #brainfood

[partly]

Typical stuff you find in gas stations/convenience stores in Wisconsin. #BeASconnie (at Wittenberg, Wisconsin)

I've heard this song at least 6 times already on the playlists I'm surfing -- and I keep flipping through other songs to find it again. #putonrepeat #NowPlaying Humble And Kind by Tim McGraw

[partly]

Playing #tickettoride with the awesome anniversary edition. Fun to play no matter who wins. #cwge #coffeeandgames
