We still have it in us!

Steve helps Glo hang a mirror in the apartment, while Connie and I provide important directions. We needed a tape measure and couldn't find one, so we came up with our version of an "Arkansas tape measure", which consists of a piece of yarn that you use to just measure where you think it should go. (see next photo)
Here's a new way to frame photos in Arkansas....take a photo of the people you want to frame in a mirror that has a pretty frame. Voila! Who says I'm not creative????
Here we are with Glo and Connie at Buffalo Wild Wings. Great food and the start of a great night for sure! We had been shopping and decided it was time to eat. Then came the moment of the big decision: 1) Go back to Glo's, build a fire and watch a movie OR 2) Go to Dickson Street and check out Willy D's, the piano bar.
This group decided that even though it was already 8:00 and we were all usually winding down, in our pajamas by then, we would just GO FOR IT! Connie had been to Willy D's before, but the rest of us had not. I won't tell you the nicknames we gave each other as the night went on, but Connie's DID have something to do with her knowledge of bars. =-)
We got a great table and started ordering the buckets of beer, which is the way to go at Willy D's. And away we went for sure. It was five buckets later and 1:00am before we got out of there and found out way to Glo's apartment to spend the night! I haven't spent the night in my clothes in a very long time for sure. There were so many funny moments during the night, our jaws hurt this morning from laughing so hard. Steve could not talk because his voice was so hoarse....and that, my friends, was from singing at the top of his lungs most of the evening. But we all were, quite honestly. It is such a fun place that they won't allow anyone to just SIT. Lots of group participation and fun. We will definitely be back, although it will be a while for us to recuperate. We just didn't jump back like we used to, but we did it. I saw several former Partners Club members that were quite surprised to see "Mrs. Baer" out in Fayetteville, so that was a pretty funny thing. Other than the beer that some random girl accidently spilled down my back and the other random girl that really needed to get a room with the 2,3 or was it 4 guys she was with.....the night was awesome! It was the most fun we've had in a long time.



Here's Steve with the rum and coke he won for singing the loudest and waving his arms while singing. Yes, folks.....out of the whole crowd they picked him. We needed video here.

Here's one of the cutie piano players that entertained everyone. So much talent!! Not a piece of music in front of them and they could sing and play just about anything!! Didn't hurt that he was easy on the eyes!
Here we are toward the end of the evening....not looking too shabby! Amazing what 8 hour lipstick can really do.
Glo and Steve look like they are missing the lyrics here. It didn't really matter. Everyone just sang whatever.
Yeah, baby....we still have it!

Oh - it looks like you guys had so much fun! I accidentally called you on Friday. Thought your number was the dry cleaners number. Call us next time you go to Willy D's and maybe we will meet you guys for a bucket of beers! Isn't it fun?!?
