Dinner and BINGO

If you have ever been driving down the highway in Payson on a Friday you may have seen the sign that the Catholic church puts up that say "Dinner and Bing tonight 6:00". Throughout my high school years my friends and myself would always say that we need to go play BINGO with the old ladies at the church. What we were saying was empty comments, until last Friday, me and Mark (who you have met in earlier post) were driving down the road and saw that sign and I said "We need to do that tonight because it is the last chance we will have". Mark being semi hesitant said sure, so we were off on our last great adventure together. We walked into the church and found four older ladies talking in a kitchen. We walked in and said "We want to play BINGO and eat some dinner", they said "okay". One of the ladies told us how it worked and what we need to do. The main thing that she told us to do was to sit by an old lady named Mary, she was a seasoned veteran at the game of BINGO she had been coming and playing BINGO since they had started. Sitting next to her and talking I learned that she was 81 years old and that her husband had died 10 years earlier, and the most money that she had won was 100 buck in one night. We played about 12 games of BINGO but not just regular BINGO we played many different varieties of it. Mark or myself did not win anything but we both come close many times. Mary won 15 dollars. it was a very fun adventure and I am glad that I finally got the chance to play BINGO with all the old ladies.
