Mooey's Birthday

Tuesday was Mooey's birthday. She wanted a small gathering to celebrate because her big bash is on Saturday. The original plan was to meet at the Happy Mexican downtown for handmade margaritas, nachos and Tecate. Oliver, Mooey's cat, had other ideas. He decided to be missing for 2 days and have everyone in a near panic. Mooey left work a few minutes early because she couldn't stand not knowing if Oliver had turned up. Luckily, after handing out a few flyers, he was spotted. Unluckily, he was injured and Mooey had to take him to the Emergency Vet. So, I told Mooey we would go to the Bayou and wait for her and Hoops to show up.

Weenie and I arrived at the Bayou around 5:45 and secured our favorite table on the patio. It was a beautiful day and around 70. It wasn't long before Mooey showed and Hoops arrived a few minutes later. Mooey opened her presents and the drinking began.

After about an hour, we looked up and Pat and Kelly were walking up. They didn't know we were going to be there and pulled up chairs. Then Dyna and Fake Date walked up. Fake Date has been gone for about 6 weeks and her and Dyna needed to catch up, so they sat at a different table.


Around 9:00, we decided to move the party to One More. We yelled at Fake Date and Dyna to join us. The hemmed and hawed but decided to make the short drive.

Weenie got us a bucket and Mooey got her free bucket and we sat down on the picnic table. Fake Date and Dyna joined us at the table.


There was singing...


And dancing...


Dart throwing...


And laughing...


Fun was had by all. I can't wait for the real party on Saturday!
