Heart Ribbons Julie Boyd

One cold and snowy evening in January, 1986, seven women met to simply learn a new game providing a valid reason to escape the daily pressures of work, children and spouses. Almost thirty years later these women are still meeting one Saturday a month to play a simple game called bonko. I am one of these women. Reflecting on the past years, I know bonko has enriched my life. I share our stories through laughter and love. The bond this group has created will always remain special to me. They have helped to weave the ribbons, colors and fabric, of friendship around my heart.
