The Garden Club and Bunco!

I am not a member of the Garden Club in my area but I was invited by a friend to attend a Bunco Luncheon.  Sounded like a lot of fun and it was.

My little bunco group has twelve people in it.  Today 100 ladies and 25 tables made for a very interesting experience.

First of all, if you are not familiar with bunco it is a ball.  Here are the basics.  Three dice are used.  You start on ones and work up to the sixes.  You play with a partner.  You get one point for every ONE you roll.  If you roll three ones when you are on ONES, then you have a Bunco which counts for 21 points.  If you roll thee of any other number while on ONES, then that is 5 points.

There is a head table that determines when the hand ends.  When the head table reaches 21 points, they ring a bell and it is over. Games are counted as well as Buncos.  Buncos are separate from the games.

Now we move on to TWOS.

Anyway, I did not win a thing today but I actually did.  I saw a sorority sister I had not seen in years and I saw a teacher I used to teach with.  Those two things made my day.  It is so nice to reconnect with old friends.  Friendships are just too precious to lose.
