Scents With A Story: House Rules

While dating Tumpie’s granddaughter Brenda, the first time I met her, Tumpie asked me what some of my hobbies were.  I told her I like to fish, play sports, and play cards. She asked me did I liked to play Gin Rummy, I told her that was my favorite card game.  She laughed and told me that was her favorite card game too.  So, she challenged me to a game of Gin Rummy.  She was pretty good and sly.  When we got towards the end of the card game and she threw down a card and shouted Gin Rummy, I politely told MawMaw you still have a card left, you can only call Gin when all your cards are gone.  Tumpie looked me square in the eye and told me “when in my house we play by my house rules' .  That is one of my first memories of Tumpie and that is the story of House Rules!

This is Mitch Ward’s (Brenda’s husband) signature scent.
