Last night was the best! I know I start with that sentence after every evening out with friends, but honestly I do have the best friends in the world! It is really kinda cool, that you can have different groups of friends for even different purposes. But last night, as it worked out a couple of my groups of friends met last night.
Heather and Steve had a date night, and were there as well..worked out nice to have some drinks with them!
So, it started with about 13 people stopping by our place for a few drinks and of course some boisterous belly laughs. We nibbled on some appetizers, which worked out well for me because everything I had to serve was left over from last weeks get together! Everything got eaten up, so no waste here..which is awesome! I didn't try anything new, kept it simple..garlic and cheese hot dip, shrimp, veggies and some cheese pastery ore'deurves.
Its always predictable when you get together at someones house, that when it's time to leave because of arranged plans..no one ever wants to leave? You end up getting comfortable, sitting and laughing in conversations that typically would never come up if not hightened by alcohol. Even the guys were content talking amoungst eachother, watching the game and laughing at us women who were hootin and hollering out back! Finally we rounded the herd, everyone with shoes and coats on and left for the Firken. Just so there is no misunderstandings..yes we had designated drivers, me being one of them!
We got to the Firken and Randy was there getting set up, I was disappointed in the seats they gave us, I told them when I reserved the seating that a friend was playing there, you would think that they would seat us over by the band?? Anyways the place slowly cleared out by 11pm and we made our way over to watch Randy do what he does best!
By know, the women were feeling pretty good and Randy invited Brenda up on stage to sing..picture below!
Just to let you know, when we were in Greece many nights were spent sitting around the hotel, wine glass in hand and a good friend beside you, Randy singing ever so perfectly, stumming his guitar to old tunes that gave each of us memories from our youth. Many times he would ask Brenda to join him in a song originally done by Bon Jovi, however at these moments in life..Brenda and Randy were Bon Jovi, they were fabulous together.It was nice to have them rekindle their electric spark!
Overall it was a great night, not a too late due to many of them having to work but just enough time to have a drink, sing a tune and laugh so loudly that the energy from our group filled the Firken with so much liveliness and good ole'fashion enthusiasm.
