The goal of "The Family Table" is for families to spend time together. The calendar was created to give families a starting place. It is designed to remind families to have a meal or activity together each week. Activities and dates are flexible and can be adjusted according to an individual families needs. So remember "Sit, eat and talk at the Family Table."

| J= Play Egyptian
Rattail
How to play Egyptian Rattail! First divide the deck of cards evenly among the players (you can play individually if there are not many players or in teams if there are many players). The person to the left of the dealer will go first and lay one card face down on the table. If the first player happens to lay down a face card (King, Queen, Jack, Ace) the next player has to try to get another face card. If the player lays down an Ace, the next player has four chances to get another face card. If a King is laid down the player has three chances, Queen- two chances, Jack- one chance. If the player doesn't lay a face card down, the player before him/her gets the deck of cards, big or small. If a double ( 2 on top of a 2, 3 on top of 3, etc.) is laid down any player that is playing the game can slap it, as if you were playing Slap-Jack. Keep repeating these steps until one person has the whole deck of cards. You win the game by having all of the cards. Hint: It is much more fun to play if you go quickly and a lot more funny. |

The heart of the Ranching Heritage Center is a 14 acre site where over 30 historic ranch structures have been relocated and restored to their original condition. These buildings show the evolution of ranching from the early trail driver's one room cabin (c. 1838) to a prosperous rancher's stylish Victorian house at the turn of the century (1909). Linecamp, dugout, bunkhouse, blacksmith shop, cowchip house, schoolhouse, corrals, shipping pens, windmills, chuckwagons, coal burning locomotive: these diverse structures depict the development of ranching from the drover, open and closed range, to modern management of the cattle business. Many of the structures originate from famous ranches that played decisive roles in the development of modern ranching such as the Matador, 6666, XIT, and King ranches. For information about the Center, please call the National Ranching Heritage Center Office at (806)742-0498 or 742-0500, or write the National Ranching Heritage Center, P O Box 43200, Lubbock, Texas 79409-3200 |
