On a Birthday Note
Bingo Birthday Games
This week was my highly esteemed wife's birthday. (Happy Birthday My Love!) Of course, since we are both avowed bingo lovers, I decided to try something I had read about on the Internet. Along with the standard surprise birthday party with family and friends, the birthday cake and the pile of presents, we had what has been termed a bingo party. The idea is that you have a party where there is a collection of prizes and everyone ends up getting something in a sort of free for all bingo game. I can say that the game worked moderately well and was a lot of fun. I had to put in certain improvisations on what I had read about on the World Wide Web, and there were certain minor glitches.
The Bingo Results
Everyone ended up with some small prize and almost everyone seemed happy with the minor treasure they had walked away with so that I can call the idea a success. I walked off with a pocket pen flashlight that I have always wanted and my wife ended up with a charming hair clip that she had laid her eyes on. Some of our friends were not as lucky with a diabetic cousin ending up with the box of quality chocolates that he was not about to even think of enjoying and a teetotaler girlfriend who won the excellent bottle of wine (another prize that I was hoping for - but we can't have it all!). Nonetheless, that is the way of bingo with some people being luckier than others...
Next Year
Having exhausted the idea of a bingo party this year my next concern is what sort of bingo stunt am I going to pull in honor of my wife next year. Anyone who has any good suggestions is welcome to comment!
