Two Days till the Party!

The has been a busy week so far and it is only going to get busier. Saturday is our big “Trop Rockin Rocky Bayou” Backyard party and there are a million details to finalize. Thankfully Sunshine Cindy is good with the details! We spent Monday and Tuesday evenings making sure those details are taken care of so all of our friends will have a great time. We have a tent coming Friday, a port-a-potty coming Friday too, we pick up more food today, decorations are all set…I think we are about ready to make this happen!


Picture from last years party

But all work and no play makes Steve and Cindy dull people. So last night off we went to KC’s. Last weekend some of us had talked about meeting there to hear Jan lead the sunset sing-a-long. As we were heading over the island with the top down, the skies were getting kind of dark. I parked BadAss in the city lot and started to walk away but had second thoughts. I told Sunshine Cindy I better put the top up since we were a few minute walk away from the car if a shower came up fast. That turned out to be a good decision.

Another shot from last years party

When we walked in to KC’s Terry and Michele were there. About 10 minutes later Jan came in. I saw Greg who used to work with me and talked to him for bit. Then Wayne came in. Yep, it was starting to look like a party. Bridget, Sarah and Kacie were behind the bar and the rest of the bar was crowded. Pat pulled up on his motorcycle and Jan was getting prepared to play. But while this was going on the skies got darker and we could hear thunder in the background. It took about 30 minutes and then the storm was right over us. Driving rain, lightning, wind…it was all there. Everyone huddled close to the bar so as to not to get too wet. It let up about an hour later and Jan started playing. Wayne’s sister Becky and her friend Betty who are visiting from Cleveland stopped in. The drunk Landsharks had new “bait” to chase. It was funny. The rest of the evening was a good time. Kenny and Scott made it in. Mike bought us a shot. A good start to the fun we will have this weekend.

A full report on the weekend to follow in Monday’s blog. Till then…..
