BINGO

Really not a lot of excitement since Christmas to update on except we have discovered BINGO. Right next door to us is the Super D BINGO hall. When Nora and Chris came to visit on a snowy cold night we ventured over there to check things out. None of us really knew what we were doing so we just walked around and bought cards and daubers, oh yes, daubers. They are only a dollar a piece for the basic dauber, but you can upgrade for 50 cents more for a"Brilliant" one that really doesn't do much in helping you win, just ask Tom. Chris that night came very close to winning a game, but unfortunately we have learned that close in BINGO doesn't count.

Tom and I have ventured over a couple more times with no Bingo's to our name but it very inexpensive and a fun few hours. I of course enjoy the people watching and Tom found the Pull Tabs which he won $120.00 on. Oh yes, I can't forget the 'fabulous' snack bar with the paper plate numbers on a long pole that you take back to your table and they deliver your order of fried foods.

I really didn't know there was so much to daubing a few numbers. There are different levels of winning that we haven't fully figured out and what a PIG is? Whatever it is, it costs you an extra dollar and they say it is a good thing, so we do it each time. The only good thing we have found out is that we are dollar shorter at the end of the night which I guess is a good thing for them. They come up with creative names for the games like stamp, kite, large frame, 'D', 4,5,6 and they have some games we haven't really figured out including the electronic version which looks intriguing. We may need Billy to come play with us to try that as we may need lots of training. We did increase last week to two cards each and boy that is a lot of daubing. So just in case nothing else entices you to come to Yakima remember there is always BINGO and maybe by then we will be experts and hopefully winners!!!!
