Bunko was super duper fun! I can see why so many women enjoy this parlor game! Twelve women playing an easy to follow dice game . . . snacking, drinking (it can be whatever; in our case: wine), and chatting. There was plenty of laughter, too, which I thrive on.
I had no idea that Bunko has been around over 50 years. No wonder! It is a great excuse to get together! Not to mention, the $5 player fee got divvyed up between who won this or that. Mind, I won nothing, but I had a good time and could care less.
I will host my evening the first Friday of December. Unfortunately, about a quarter of the women there tonight will have moved away from Honolulu by then . . . but fortunately, there will likely be women to replace them that we can love just as much as those who have to leave us. This is one thing that I dislike about the military. I long for the day that I have neighbour friends that I can grow old with . . . you know? It is just not possible with military friends. Yes, some may stay in touch over the years (in my case, only a few, which I think is a blessing), but you lose many of them.
Okay, I'm going to go have my coffee now and ease into my day. I'll be reheating the chicken tetrazenni (help me here, Therese - Musings of a Mom; I'm butchering your heritage dish in verbiage!) I made the night before last for lunch today. I got the recipe from Giada's cookbook a friend lent me. It was labour intensive to make (only 'cos it was new to me), but oh, so dern delicious!
P.S. Kissteen: I loathe card playing games. Loathe. No one understands this about me at all, but everyone else loves card games. My eyes almost fall outta my head when Chief watches poker on telly. Why? It's just beyond my comprehension!

Sarah-you were very close! only one letter off-tetrazinni.
So glad you had fun! So important for us to have breaks like this!
Never been to Bunko, but I do like cards.
We have coffee in common!
Happy to hear your joyfulness.
My sister enjoys bunko with a group of friends. I've never even seen it played. And I didn't know it was such an old game either! Glad you had fun.
we play bunko at family gatherings, my parents introduced it to us adult kids last Christmas, they (my parents) started playing it at coffee parties they go to while they are living at their vacation home in AZ) they thought it would be fun for adults and grandkids alike and it sure is!!
Sarah, glad you enjoyed bunko!!
Grandma K, I was born at Ft. Ord, back in 1960. My Dad was stationed there.
My Dad was stationed at Ft. Ord many moons ago as well. Small world, this!
glad you had fun at bunko. Small world indeed. My father was stationed at Fort Ord in the mid 70's.
Glad the Bunko and coffee went over real good.
I am glad to know the "card thing" about you! Sometimes I feel like I am the only one who really does not like the card thang!
