Backyard Picnic and BUNCO

What a fun way to spend a Hot August Evening!  Queens Robin and Leslie came up with the perfect idea to beat the heat and still have a lot of fun together.  We met at Leslie's house in the late afternoon.  Leslie has a nicely shaded deck in her backyard which was the perfect gathering place for us.  First order of business . . . Dinner!  Check out our scrumptious buffet!  

Croissants, Turkey, Ham, Potato Salad, Deviled Eggs, Veggies, Fruit, Chips & Dip, Oh My!

Let's eat!

Patiently waiting for food.

After we ate, we just sat outside, enjoying the cool air and sharing stories about what's been happening in our lives.  No rush, no stress, no agenda . . . just a nice relaxing evening of being together.

After a couple hours, we finally went inside to set up for BUNCO.  But first . . . There were two delicious desserts - lemon bars and a chocolate something that was Aw-May-Zing.  Guess I was so busy consuming both sugary treats, I forgot to snap a pic.  Sorry!  Just trust me - They were both wonderful!  Thank you, Queen Leslie and Queen Robin, for filling our tummies in such a delightful way!

Just before we started playing BUNCO, Queen Robin had some Door Prizes to give away.

Toni won a pretty scarf

Debbie won a lovely pin

And Carol N won matching Red Hat pin and earrings

Next came BUNCO.  Still being mindful of our health and safety, we played a modified "Covid" style BUNCO - everyone had her own set of dice and kept her own score, but we did change seats at the end of each game so we could hopefully play with everyone.  

Congrats to all the winners:

All in all, it was a really really nice afternoon/evening.  Thanks again Queens Leslie and Robin for planning such a fun day.
