I don’t know how many years we have been doing this but it has been years. A lot of ladies have come and gone and it is just a great way to get to know women. For a while now we have focused more on the eating and talking in our group but lately we have actually started playing poker again and it has been fun.
The group of us that originally started this did it to keep in touch. It was around the time that ‘texas hold em’ became a big fad so we thought it would be cute to start a poker group when usually it is guys that have the poker nights. The men, our men, where at first intrigued but when they found out how nice and overly cautious we where about risking our chips (even though we don’t even involve money) it became a humorous thing…
Kicked off the new year with our first match at my place. I was particularly excited about the alcohol free white grape sparklers I got from Super Store and the stemless wine glasses I bought to serve them! It was a fancy treat for all of us MOMS! I am always impressed with the nice food everyone contributes, we always eat well! We take turns hosting so I hadn’t for a while and I really enjoyed hosting such a stellar group of women!
I can’t help taking pictures of our gatherings because so often there are new girls or friends able to come who have been gone for ages… those of us who are long time attenders keep changing so it is just as interesting to see us over the years meeting once a month to just enjoy one anothers company!
I left my Christmas stuff up for this one last event and finally took it down today, I am actually sad about taking it down this year… usually I can hardly wait for everything to look less cluttered again but I decorated so much later then normal so I hadn’t reached that feeling yet. Perhaps I was just more in the holiday spirit this year!
Here is to another year of the ladies poker nights!
