First 2019 T-day
Happy New Year!
I'm so happy your dropped by for this First 2019 T-day post, as I'm joining Elizabeth and party on the first day of the new year.
Did you celebrate New Years Eve?
How did you celebrate?
Hubby and I attended an annual Bunco party with family and friends. It has been years since we attended this event, but the family came before Christmas, which freed us up so we can once again enjoy celebrating, while rolling the dice!

| The Game tables were set up and ready to roll the dice, but first a glass of wine! |
 |
| There was plenty of goodies to snack on all evening |
 |
| Not to mention enough sugar to sink a boat. |
 |
| The Happy Hour started here from beer to wine to some homemade moonshine! |
For anyone who does not know the game of Bunco, it is a game played with 3 dice, and the object is to roll 3 of a kind, of the number your on. Game cards have 1-6 on them, so when your rolling for 1s and you get 3 of them that is a Bunco! Then on to rolling for 2s and so on. We play four games of six, breaking after each game for refreshments. There is a lot more to the game, but that is the basic idea.
We each pay $10 and it goes into the pot to pay the winners.
We also take a White Elephant type gift, one for each player, wrapped, with a clue on it. I took an eternity calendar and the clue was "Your Days are Numbered". After Bunco we get a gift, but don't always get to keep it. This year everybody sat down with a gift in front of them, We each took turns throwing a BIG dice, and according to the number we had instructions. If you roll a one, everybody keeps their gift. If you roll a four, all gifts are passed to the left, a 3 means you get to trade gifts with someone. Once everybody had rolled the dice we opened the gift we ended up with. It was a good source of laughter and some of the gift were real dooosies! I missed getting pictures of them I was laughing so hard.
Today, January 1, we are just kicking back and not doing much, I even missed the New Years parade :( I'm looking forward to this new year and all the possibilities it will hold for us and our family.
Are you making any resolutions for the new year?

I have never heard of Bunco, so it was good to learn the basics. Sounds like it was a fun evening, too. WOW, you had a lot of food, snacks, and drinks. Thanks for taking us with you to your New Year's Eve Bunco Party for T this Tuesday.
I was up all night and stayed up until about 10 am, about the time the parade was to start. First year I've missed it in years. I even went two years while I was in CA working for my company.
Happy New Year,
Kate
Happy T-Day!
