A bunch of neighbors got together to play Bunco.  I had never played it before but had heard it was alot of fun.  We each pitched in 5 dollars.  There were 12 of us so a chance at winning $60.  There are 3 tables of 4 women each.  Your partner is across from you and we have to toss 3 dice.  It is a total game of luck since there is no way to control the number on the dice.  You get points for the numbers you roll.  When the head table gets 21 then the bell is rung and the winning partners at each table advance.  Then you switch partners so you get to be partners with everyone at least once. 

Oh did I mention it was just the ladies.  Girls night out.  These women have been playing Bunco together for 16 years.  Somebody moved to California, so I got invited to take the empty spot.

And the winner of the most Bunco’s got a new necklace.  Now she has to add something to the necklace and bring it to the next Bunco party.  Bunco is when you are trying to roll a certain number and you get three of them.  So, if you need a four on one of the three dice and you get four on all three dice…..that is a Bunco.  Here is the winner of the most Bunco’s.  hmmmm is she smiling because of the money or the empty wine glass????
