If you like corn and Swiss cheese, you'll like this. Personally I love the crispy soda cracker crunch on top!

She has a gazillion more to go--that means a gazillion more stories--and I'm drawing a blank.

So ( I can't believe I'm doing this--sigh-- here goes.....)

One time it was my 25th wedding anniversary and we took over a bar.

I have no idea who took this picture, but all that gang is my family, so taking 'over' a bar is relative...we had the numbers.

Anyway, that's me in the sun glasses and Barb in the striped shirt.  It was nighttime and we were inside--a few gin and tonics might have played a part in the following photos.

And then my family decided to dance--we were celebrating my 25th wedding anniversary after all.  Oh..and for the record, these are my 'in-laws', but I claim them as mine.  I kind of like them--a lot!  (I'm very lucky that way).

So again...here is my family dancing.  All except the guy on the right...he was not family. We had no idea who he was for a while. 

  His name was Richard and he had had a lot to drink and just hanging with us.

Poor Richard even believed my sister-in-law, Meghan when she said we were members of a Christian band.  He was just wondering if we were part of something--there were so many of us--so she said the first thing she thought of.  It's not a bad gig actually.

So, Richard hung around us....

Danced with us... or danced with Barb anyway...

Thank goodness he made himself scarce when Leslie decided to show us her panties!  I think she had a heart embroidered on them.

Um....the Handyman seems real interested in them too!

(it's a good thing my thighs touch, so you couldn't see MY panties!)

Oops--I might have spoken too soon!

What the heck were we doing???

Whatever it was--Barb thought it was funny!

And that's my Barb story--- her very short stint in a Christian band-- dancing with her fan Richard and doing crazy celebrity things like lying on pool tables. (?)
One last word---all the brothers, brother in laws, sisters and sisters in law, and Barb kept waiting for the bartender to yell "last call" for drinks--but we live in Nevada--there is no last call--as long as you're buying, they're serving--24 hours a day.
We got home about 4am.
