March 2010

My apologies for the delay in my Pokeno secretarial tasks…but as you can see over there on the right side of the page, I was busy birthin’ a baby! This is the first time in the last 2 days that he’s actually sleeping during the day, so I have a chance to remind you what happened two months ago…

It was an “Irish Spring” theme @ Peg’s house in March. Not because of the soap, but because it was the month of the Irish & spring finally sprung! After the back to back blizzards we had this year, I’m super happy to see some flowers, tweeting birds & greenish grass! I’m sure the rest of you ladies agree. Once again, you ladies made/brought some delicious treats to the party. We had Cola Ham, pineapple pudding, twice baked potatoes, soda bread, cinnamon rolls & Irish potatoes. Lori whipped up some very potent cocktails. They had some dirty names, but I didn’t note them (sorry). We had a late start of 8:00 because we all stuffed our faces before playing.

MYSTERY BOX

Patt was responsible for the Mysterious responsibility of bringing a Box with her. I think she might be leading a record for most wins! This time around, Lori was the winner. March’s Box was wrapped to look like a piece of candy. Patt said “don’t pay attention to the packaging – its recycled paper”. Inside the lovely packaging there was a Pez bunny; solar garden stake/lamp (thanks Bob); Peeps; a Reese’s egg & tomato grow kit.

MAY POKENO

We decided to take off for the month of April because everyone was super busy. We will resume play once again on SATURDAY, MAY 22ND @ Kate’s house. We will be having a no frills style game. So please remember to bring some cash with you to order pizza/food.

FRIENDLY REMINDER

For the last 2 years now, we have held our annual Birthday Tea Party in June @ Patt’s house. This year will be no exception. We will square away a date/time/menu during business at the May game, but I wanted to take this opportunity to remind everyone to get their outfits ready & try to think of 3 things you might like to have so you can fill out your Pollyanna slips in an orderly fashion…or at least try to…

March was short & sweet. I wonder what kind of fun awaits us in May… Until next time, may the foxiest bitch win!
