BONKO

Last night, John and I were invited to join 5 other couples in playing Bonko, we had a great time. It's a dice game that's totally chance (no skill involved) and it moves quickly. You move partners, so that's fun too - it keeps the game fresh which is especially important since you're just rolling dice over and over again.

Except for the couple that invited us, we were the only people under 40 - that's a great way to feel young again! The older couples were hilarious, and it was fun to watch how they interacted with each other. We were invited to join their little group that meets once a month to play - they rotate homes so that everyone gets a chance to host. I think we'll join them - it would be a great way to get to know some new people.

Anchorage is SO small. We got there not expecting to know anyone except for the people who invited us, and we ended up knowing another couple there. They had gone through the adoption seminar with us and had a lot of the same feelings/experiences we've had since going through it. It was great talking with them and feeling not quite so alone.

Sounds like great fun, Steph! I was just telling a friend tonight that Colorado Springs is very small.
