March 2009 Bunco Night!

Happy St. Patrick's Day to you all! We had a great time tonight at our monthly bunco game and thought I would post a few pictures to share the fun! Our "hostess" was Gwen who went WAY out of her way to find lots of goodies for us. She had a huge salad bar prepared and Irish potatoes. No green beer! But yes, homemade cupcakes for dessert.

For the un-initiated, bunco is a game played with dice. No money is bet, but in our club each of us pay $10. a month to play and we use that money to purchase prizes with. It's fast, it's loud, but mostly just an excuse to get out with the girls and have some fun.

If any of you want to start your own, just email me and I'll be glad to help with details.

Lots of food, lots of dice rolling going on, plenty of noise and laughter and a drab Tuesday night was transformed in to another memory.

SOME things about getting older are not so bad!

January Bunco Night

Mom and Gwen

We all had a great time at Bunco tonight! Marla won first prize, Mom second and my friend Gwen third. Gail had bought the prizes for December but since we didn't meet in December due to inclement weather, we just carried those gifts over to this month.

Brenda

For those of you not familiar with Bunco, the main reason for this little activity is surely the food with the fun and fellowship close behind. Brenda hosted this time and had Papa Murphy's pizza for us. It's a different kind of pizza place where they put it together, then you bring it home and cook it in YOUR oven. Of course, I'm still on this stupid diet so I didn't even get a bite of it. She made a Winter Warm Lemon Cake for dessert and it looked really scrumptious!

Sharon

This is Sharon getting "ready to roll". Of course she had to win the booby prize for winning the fewest games, but that's always a nice gift, too. It's all about the fun anyway!

Frank

And last but never least, Frank doing what Frank does best! Eating. Of course, we had to have ONE man in the mix. He always makes it such a good time for everybody. Can't tell he likes pizza, either.

This historic day's post would not be complete without at least mentioning the inauguration of our nation's President today. Since I'm a pretty staunch Republican, all I can say is I sure am missing a lot of balls tonight! All jokes aside, I was able to watch much of it today with streaming video on the computer at work. It was such an event and I pray for our country and ALL it's leaders.
