Friday was a nice day: went for breakfast (couldn't believe the prices - $5 for a FULL meal), visited the local Wal-Mart (the biggest Wal-Mart I have ever seen) and hung out at the house playing games. We kept it mellow since the party for Myk's dad was Friday night at the local bar where Nancy and Ernie (Myk's dad) know everyone.
The party was AWESOME....and surreal. It was great celebrating Ernie's b-day. Oh I forgot to mention what a sweet, sweet man he is. He was so happy that we all drove down to celebrate him. By the end of the weekend he was calling us all his sons. Isn't that sweet? Anyway, we got to the bar around 8:20. Friends of theirs began to trickle in by 8:30. By 9 it was ON. There were over 50 people who turned out for the party. Everyone was mingling, drinking and having a good time. I said surreal before because the venue (and people) was totally strip mall USA. Young to old, all having a good time and P-A-R-T-Y-I-N-G! Oh, I also forgot to mention that Myk, Nancy and Vet created a giant faux cake that stood about 8 feet tall, decorated in red, white and blue - Ernie is a Vietnam veteran and a decorated soldier. So, at 10 PM an MC stepped out with a mic and presented Ernie with his gift. Lights on the faux cake, and out popped the stripper. I have to tell you, we were all afraid Ernie was going to get a heart attack...LOL. Anyway, Nancy put me in charge of supplying dad with singles ($ bills) while the HO gyrated all over the old man. The funny thing was I would give Ernie 5 singles for him to give away one by one, but he would take the whole wad and give them up. I then gave him 10 singles, and he did the same thing....LOL. All of us kept running to the bar to make change for Ernie....I am sure that stripper left with about $500 dollars. Teehee.
So after the stripper, the bar turned into a karaoke bar. This went on for an hour. A few of us sang. Then after karaoke the dancing began. It was the electric slide - young and OLD doing it in the middle of the bar. At this point, we were like, "AND SCENE!".....hahaha. So we asked for the bar bill and get this, the bar bill for 7 of us for 4 hours of drinking was $110. Needless to say we gave the waitress/bartender a very nice tip. We then went back to the house, Ernie went to bed and we stayed up until 4AM hanging out and chatting by the pool. Ernie had a blast!!!!
The rest of the weekend was mellow, playing games by the pool and working on the tan. We drove back yesterday and stopped by this new favorite place called Baker's. Apparently it's a regional fast food place where they serve burgers and Mexican food. Okaaay! It is ALL ABOUT the shredded beef burrito. If you ever see a Baker's, stop in and get one. You will love it.
Anyway, thank you Myk and Andrew R. for including us in the festivities. Had a blast!
