Last week was really tough for a lot of us, and there was some discussion about postponing our Lion's Night Out, however, we decided that being together for a little while might cheer us all up. It seems to have been the right call.
We were thrilled to see some new faces, and I'm sure they will be joining us regularly now!! There were so many, it's' going to be difficult to report on everyone individually, so this will be a Reader's Digest version...If you want to know what really happens, you are just going to have to show up next time!!
I suffered unmerciful grief from my dear friend Caroline who reminded me every 15 minutes that everyone she contacted showed up, and everyone I contacted didn't show up. So those of you that told me you were coming, and then didn't....shame on you!!! (Especially the blond twin and her classmate husband, and the formerly famous fisherman) I'm gonna need to see hall passes from all of you!!
As should be expected during August in Arkansas, it was Hot Hot Hot, and the AC at Cajun's was either on the blink or just not up to the task. Our group looked like a "minnow pond" convention from all the fanning going on. When we determined that the sunset wasn't going to help the temperature, a vote was taken and we moved to our new favorite spot...Underground Pub, where...
OLD BROADS GET CARDED!!! Yippie!!!
Monica, Caroline and I wished we had taken pictures of the occasion, and we were tickled when they told us we would always be carded there...that alone is worth going back!!
It's usually a bad sign when the Po-Po shows up at your party, but when it's one of our own the party just gets better. I'm pleased to report that our classmate Po-Po is managing just fine and he enjoyed spending time and visiting with everyone...and best of all...no one was arrested!!
The other Steven made an appearance as well, and reported that he's really proud of how well his son is doing. That's some good news we can all use. It was really great to have him with us and I think he was glad he came out, too. I expect him to be a "regular" now!!
I'm sad to report that there was no dancing this time. As hot as it was we just couldn't risk the possibility of a lightning strike (or a heat stroke) that close to so many of our friends. We'll try again next time...which means Andy has 2 more weeks to practice. The good citizens of Memphis and all the visiting Elvises should be on notice!!
A few random observations...She mentioned that her pants might fall off, but (luckily?) Sony kept all of her clothes on....Bobbi surprised all of us (we didn't know she was in town) It was great to see her, you can't be anything but happy around Bobbi.....Ned's wife, Nataleen is so beautiful it's distracting...if she wasn't so darn NICE, we would have to ask him to leave her at home...along with her, we may have to make some of the other spouses "honorary classmates"; Stan's wife, Lorraine, and Caroline's husband, Paul are so much fun I forget they weren't Lions to begin with...What's up with Monica?? She had on long sleeves and still managed to appear cool as a cucumber when everyone else was melting!!
I know you are wondering about T-bone. That girl is going to give me gray hair!!! She went in search of dancing when we parted ways...I don't know if she got to shake her little booty, but I do know that a very early "car check" indicated that her booty was home before the sun came up. Don't ask how I know that...I won't compromise my sources!!
If you were there...you know what I didn't report...If you weren't there...once again, you missed a great time!!!
