Bunco at Gail's

My daughter in law made these invitations for my Bunco Party. She has a nice talent. Okay, its Bunco time again. This time at my house. This is our 4th year of playing.
We have 6 of the orginal group that we started with. We are the
die hards that just won't give up. We love getting together as a group and

have fun. So we ate Cheesy Salsa Pasta with Green Chili Cornbread, a huge salad and a Pizzuki for dessert. Lindsay was the big winner with 4 buncos. We were a bit worried since she is due to
have her second child any day. Doris, Daria and I tied for most wins. Doris won that with the high roll of the dice. Second most wins, Daria won with a high roll. Jan won the loser prize. A nice bottle

of wine. Melissa was made famous by being able to put a spoon

on her nose. And than a little friend who came visit us was a
gingerbread man from Utah. He
is traveling around from our grand
daughter Kylie's kindergarten
classroom. And he just showed up. But got away before we could catch
him.
These are the girls of "Divas of Dice". Lindsay, Teri, Gail, Robyn, Sam, Daria, Gingerbread man, Doris, Jan, Britta, Melissa, Cindi and Diane.

A Tucson Weekend



Our Tucson weekend was wonderful
We had discovered the Coronado Wines when the vineyard came

to Camp Verde last year, Boy what
wonderful wines they have. We ended up buying a case and a half. Can't wait to get to them. We also had a tasty lunch made for us. The chef did wonders.
After our visit to the winery we went and found Apple Annies Pumpkin Patch. That was fun, We wished that we had had the babies with us. There was a corn maze, hay ride to take you out to pick your own pumpkins. So I found my pumpkins for my front porch. One being a sage green fairy pumpkin. Wow, is it a unique one.
The condo at Rancho Vistoso still is one of our favorites. We like that it is out of the city, and we can see the city lights from the balcony.
