The Seventh Seven

Hi Canasta Lovers,
      A funny thing happened on the way to 8500 points the other day.  It was toward the end of the hand, after the turn card, Corky picked the pack with two sevens from her hand, she checked through the pack and sure enough there were seven of them. Wow, really good card counting Corky! Next, looking through her hand for a discard, what did she find? Aces, dead cards and Jokers. Poor Corky, she had nothing to throw on that empty tray.  She had to pick up her beautiful seven canasta, put the useless dead cards back in the pack and then draw a card for her turn. So sad.
     Of course, yours truly, who had discarded that seventh seven was given a lucky reprieve!!!

Keep in touch, Canasta Goddesses,
