MORE spending time with girlfriends!


Continuing on about getting to spend time with my girlfriends, I got to play bunco with more of my fabulous girlfriends tonight! I had once done an entry about bunco/bunko, and it told about HOW to play it. But there are so many other positive things about it!

Bunko is about EATING. Oh, yes. We take turns hosting bunko in our homes once a month. When it is your turn, you put out the spread and the booze and everyone flocks to you. Some go all out with wonderful appetizers, delicious dips and yummy sweets, topped off with a fancy drink to serve. Some order Chinese food, fill the cooler with beer and call it good. Either way, it is about getting together as girls and moms and having a good time.

Tonight’s bunko was with my neighborhood group. What a wonderful way to bond with the ladies you live by. It is great to catch up with things going on in the neighborhood! We live in a court tucked away in the back of the neighborhood. Often times we miss what is going on in the greater area. This is a great way to catch up. We talk about our kids, their schools, nice teachers/mean teachers, awful middle school and what’s going on at the high school. We talk about families, churches, aging parents and falling body parts. And we laugh. Sometimes we laugh so hard our tummies and cheeks hurt and often times we have to pee or even pee our pants. Yes, bunko is crazy, but I wouldn’t miss it for the world!
