Bunko

Okay, I freely admit that when I got invited to play Bunko with a group of ladies, I was not sure I wanted to. I had played the game a couple of times before and I really didn't enjoy it that much. But one thing I have really appreciated living here is being included in the different activities, such as Ladies Lunch Bunch, dinner after Stake Conference, and other things like that. It has helped me feel accepted and loved. When we move into a new area Mark and I love to jump in with both feet and get involved as soon as possible. Getting invited to outside activities like Lunch Bunch has been icing on the cake. So when I got invited to Bunko, I was unsure of how I would like it, but decided to try it at least once. One of the ladies who has been in charge in the past belongs to the country club here and has arranged for us to play in the dressing room at the club house. Each person takes a turn being in charge for the month and provides a light meal and snacks. I think there ended up being 13 of us, so one person sat out and we rotated. For anyone who doesn't know what Bunko is, it's a game where four people sit around a table. You are partners with the person sitting across from you. Each person rolls three dice and points are added or taken away, depending on the play. When the head table reaches say, 21 points, they ring a bell and the couple who got the most points at each table move to the next table. I don't know that many details yet. Anyway, I have to say I had a good time. I don't know what was different about it. It was nice in the club house, but it was a relaxed evening with everyone talking and laughing and just enjoying themselves. Oh, some really get into the game and there's some yelling occasionally, but for the most part it was just a nice evening. So...I guess I'll keep going. It's only once a month and I'm enjoying the company. Thanks, guys, for thinking of me and including me. I really appreciate it.
