October Hosted by Rose

October was tagged "Dress like a Man" for Bunco. And man oh man, did the girls get out their finest menswear! If it was a contest (it was not) I would have to vote for Kris who came as Bubba Redneck Bob - dirty t-shirt, mullet haircut, chest hair, sleeveless flannel, ick - yes - she was very ickky looking!!! We laughed all night!

Gracias Rose for a fine Mexican themed dinner...chicken tacos, rice, beans, chips, cookies, and pumpkin bread. Muy delicioso!

Congratulations Suzanne and your exciting "Bun in the Oven" news!

Soft summer breezes, light and creamy frosty orange creme dessert, and Happy Beach cocktails! Our June Bunco was a delight! It was fun and so summery!

Menu was Million Dollar Spaghetti, fresh greens with tossed walnuts and cranberries, rustic Italian bread, and frozen orange creamcicle dessert that took us back to our childhoods! Thanks to a great group of friends for making our bunco nights so fun!
