december bunco









we played BUNCO at mary's house on wednesday night. it snowed! actual SNOW! it was CHRISTMAS BUNCO and that meant a long night of friends, food, and dice. :) we ate ham, green bean casserole, cheesy potatoes, sweet potatoes with marshmallow topping and salad. there was pumpkin pie with cool whip for dessert. we drank lots of wine too.

most buncos (3) MICHELE
most wins STEPH S
2nd most wins LIZ
most losses MARY
last bunco DARLENE

MICHELE actually had the official last bunco but she also tied for most buncos with STEPH S who also had most wins. so a roll-off was in order. STEPH S ended up with most wins, MICHELE with most buncos and DARLENE with last bunco of the night. the prize was a beautiful metal angel.

we played a "left/right" game to the story "twas the night before christmas" and exchanged gifts. there were lots of pretty things. plus some extra gifts from some of the ladies that made the night special.

twas the night of our bunco...

twas the night of our bunco, and all through MARY'S house
not one woman was quiet -- we were all getting soused!
the treat bowls were placed on the tables with care
in hopes that the ladies would all find them there.

the players were ready -- we had all been fed
and visions of winnings danced in our heads.
with BROOKE in her hat, and WILMA in green,
we were all drinking wine and making a scene!

away to the kitchen STEPH S flew like a flash!
she was ready to play and take home some cash.
with our plates held high we ate from them quick.
i knew before half-time, we all would be quite sick!

more rapid than eagles STEPH C started the game
as she hollered and shouted and called us by name:
"come now, GINNY! BROOKE! LAURA! MICHELE! MARY!
JULIE! LIZ! DARLENE! STEPH S! WILMA! and SHERRY!

ladies, please find your seat and sit yourself down,
the game will begin when you hear the bell sound!"
so over to the tables, the ladies they flew
with score cards in hand along with beverages too!

and then in a twinkling, we sat on our buns,
from the head table we heard someone yell: ones!
all of a sudden LAURA stood up and screamed,
"i’m winning! i’m winning! is this a dream?"

to our surprise, those dice dots did fall...
six, six and six -- and SHERRY cried out to all:
"the grinch! the grinch! throw him to me!"
MICHELE tossed it to her with gladness and glee.

LIZ and STEPH C totaled up everyone’s games.
only one roll-off there'd be and that's a darn shame!
we were all so excited, it was getting quite late,
but kept going and going until we couldn't think straight.

when it came time for the gift game of exchanging
you could hardly hear what JULIE was saying.
GINNY passed to the left and then to the right,
we saw many presents; they were all quite a sight!

in no time at all, the night was all said and done,
the games were over and so was our fun.
fond memories of games past came to mind as we packed,
fun times and good friendships from many years back.

we ran out to our cars, to our friends gave a whistle,
and away we each drove as fast as a missile.
but we heard DARLENE say, as she drove into the night,
keep your eyes open ladies; i’ll be updating the site!"

october bunco

last night was bunco night at darlene's house. BUNCTOBERFEST was the theme and there was plenty of german fare to be had -- sausage, baked chicken, potatoes, green beans, sauerkraut, and soft pretzels. we enjoyed marlene's homemade GERMAN CHOCOLATE CAKE for dessert.

marlene subbed for stephanie c and crystal for liz. like always, the subs won. marlene shared MOST WINS with mary and each took home $15. crystal threw the LAST BUNCO and got some lovely sterling silver SILPADA margarita earrings. sherry won MOST BUNCOS and darlene won MOST LOSSES. if there was a prize for BEST DRESSED, wilma would have won it with her authentic austrian frock.

then there were the drinking games. every time all the same number was rolled, drink! any three numbers in order, drink! even more silliness happened when the "chicken dance" song came on and we all flapped our wings, wiggled our tails, and rolled the dice! we went through three bottles of wine and a whole lotta beer. :)

NOVEMBER BUNCO will be at michele's house. see you there!

JULY BUNCO was at stephanie s' and it was another fabulous night of bunco. everybody had a great time in our festive 4th of july attire for the RED, WHITE & BLUE theme. no stephanie c, mary, liz, or brooke so there were some faces we haven't seen in a while (patricia, sally and marlene) and a new one too, zaira. she taught us some new spanish words. :) lots of chatting and silliness as usual. we had so much fun that there was talk of adding a FOURTH table to our regular three!

lots of good food to eat. we had salad, grilled chicken with veggies and pasta. also some tasty roasted red pepper hummus with pita chips and finally a frozen strawberry dessert. mmm! it was all delicious!

the winners... there was a four-way tie for MOST BUNCOS between stephanie s, ginny, wilma and marlene. they all rolled three buncos! stephanie s, wilma and marlene all rolled 4's. the second roll had both marlene and wilma rolling 6's so the two decided to split the pot. we call it EQUALLY SHARING. or i should say sherry calls it that. stephanie s won MOST WINS and zaira won 2ND MOST WINS. julie won LAST BUNCO of the night and got some pretty candles and a starbucks gift card. laura took home the prize for MOST LOSSES. way to go, ladies!
