Most of you will recognize Sally, the sign spinner for Round Table. She stands at the corner of Jefferson and Lake Washington Boulevards most afternoons and always has a smile and a wave for the passerbys.

"The Bunco Babes" a very special group of friends...


From left around the table: Diane, Bonnie, Cathy, Kathye, Mary (rear), Margie, Donna, Sarah, Luanne and Bev. Missing from this photo is Annie and yours truly 'cause I'm always taking the pix.

Our Bunco group has been meeting once a month for over 35 years, rotating hostess duties throughout the year. Most of us have our roots in West Sacramento and some have been friends since grammar school. We have supported each other through births & deaths, marriages & divorces, sickness & diets, career changes & retirements, kids & grandkids.....you name it! Our saddest day together was when we had to say bye to long-time Babe Cheri who passed away last November.
