Pull a card and show us what your plans are to reach your dream.” To start the game, his oldest grandson, Dr. Steve Winston, pulled a card from the box held by the old man. “I have SAILING on my card,” Steve declared. “SAILING PLANS for you, Steve. Will you be able to execute this plan?” “Maybe. It’d be a nice dream to sail far away.” The great-grandchildren followed suit, pulling a card from the box. “Show us your cards, kids.” The children waved their cards. The parents read and laughed. “Here are the results,” George announced. “DATING PLANS for Matt Winston and KISSING PLANS for his little brother Royce.
