Bunco..led to a project?..and I have a problem out there!

Ok, ladies and gents...first maybe someone can explain this strange occurence of acorns almost killing me outside! I am getting attacked.....

seriously, they come flying off the trees, and when they hit, they hit hard.  Luckily, they have missed me, but perhaps you can tell me why the sudden overflow of acorns this year?

They drop so hard they lose their cute hats!

This is what I wake up to every morning these days...a MESS of acorns.  I finally have no more pine needles due to the storms taking down those trees back in May.

This is crazy!

Tonight is bunco, and I am hosting!

We of course plan on doing some pizza's...

And hopefully, the rain will let up, so that we can.

Notice the pizza oven has a new little hat? Mike's Dad made that for us. Keeps out the water, and really retains the heat.

Looks cute too! 

Thank you Paul! XO

So last evening I was talking to my MOM.  I have her hooked on pinterest now.

My sissie is getting married August 10 of next year and we are so excited!

Anyhow, my Mom started looking at my boards of course, and she noticed I have black board placemats.

She said "ya know Deb, those cheese placemats I gave you would be perfect, and you never use them"...true dat, cheese and wine is not my theme anymore.

SOOO...out they came...

from this, to that....

I think I will have some fun with these, changing them up and using them...

I actually wrote on these ones...see how horrible my writing is?

Wish me luck tonight!

BuNCo

Some of you may have heard of bunco, and some not.

I have been in a bunco group now for a couple of years. 

12 women meet once a month, for food, drinks and a little 

game play.

Cost $5.00 to play, and you can win a pretty good pot at the end.

I will tell you this..

I have never WON!

we have fun though.

 Honestly, I would say if you can get about 10 women together on a monthly basis, you should start your own 

Bunco group.

It is a funn filled night.

Each gal brings a treat or snack to share.

Now if I were really creative I would whip these up....

instead I whipped this up, which I have shared in the past.  Angel food strawberries and whip cream, YUMMY!

Did I mention I usually don't eat dinner this night, as there is so much food this night.

Wish me Luck! 
Any of you gals in a Bunco group, or any other kind of outside the home activity with women?

Game Overview

Strictly speaking, Bunco is a game of dice, played in rounds. Players take turns rolling the dice and trying to accumulate as many points as possible to win each round. The game is played at tables of four in competing teams of two.
Players score points by rolling three dice and trying to match the number they're supposed to roll for that round. They get a point for each die that rolls the number, and if all three roll the number they score 21 points. They also score 5 points for rolling three of a kind of any other number. They get to keep rolling as long as they score one or more points with each roll. Once they fail to score they pass the dice to their left and the opposing team gets a chance to score.
