Life and Bunco

Last night I joined a bunch of very fun people for Bunco. It's basically a dice game, but quite honestly, it's really a reason to get together, talk, eat, laugh a lot and just have a good time with friends.

The general instructions for Bunco are:

1. Come happy
   
2. Eat some good food and have a drink (or two...)
   
3. Play the game with great friends--sometimes you win, sometimes you don't.
   
4. Laugh and have fun no matter what!

And, I had the LAST Bunco last which earned me my $10 back...and the pearl necklace! It's a good game.

Tonight, some friends came by my house for a quick visit and to pick up a few things. They brought warm home-made oatmeal chocolate chip cookies and a big bottle of red wine. (The perfect combination!) As we packed up and moved a few boxes down three flights of stairs, we talked about jobs, houses, men and even a little bit about baseball. We came back up and ate the rest of the amazing cookies and polished off the wine. And we cried a little, laughed a lot and marveled at the absolute continuous joys and mysteries of life...

I was thinking that Life is basically a dice game too. And, really, the instructions for living life are pretty much the same as for Bunco:

1. Come happy
2. Eat some good food and have drink or two...
3. Play the game with great friends--sometimes you win, sometimes you don't
4. Laugh and have fun and enjoy yourself no matter what.

It's a great game.
