I am truly blessed to work with a fun group of people who enjoy socializing in a relaxed atmosphere. It's definitely a "come as you are" kind of place. Since there is literally nothing even close to formalized entertainment here (i.e., shopping, movies, etc.), I initiated a monthly Game Night. I sent out a general invitation to all staff, but it basically boiled down to our "regulars" (all without families here, except Kathy Chugluak who is not Native, but married a local and has been here for 26 years).
The first night's theme centered around the food - a Baked Potato Bar. We played Pit at one table while other's enjoyed a calmer game: Bananagrams. Then we all came together for a hilarious few rounds of Balderdash! It was a great evening!

October's theme was Halloween Bunco! Jill helped with the decorations, and I whipped up some soups for a warm meal before a raucous time! Lots of hoots and hollers all night long!

When you are short a player, you play with a "ghost,"
so I made a little friend to play with! |
