Tuesday 5-26-26 Dancing A to Di and Terry, Tape Project, Workout & Games

 

Happy Tuesday

We had a very nice Tuesday. 

The morning temperature was 68 degrees and the high was 87 degrees. We had overcast skies with a little wind now and then. The rain blew in around 8:30 pm and stayed around through out the night.

We attended Di Green and Terry McCann's Weekly A2 dance at 10:00 am for an hour. Di called five tips to 14 participants. Terry danced with now and then. Larry danced four of the tips with me. She worked shopped Motivate because the dancers were having problems with it. The U.K. is having record highs in the mid to high 80's degrees. The people there aren't used to it being so hot and most of the people don't have air conditioning. It's very humid in the U.K. Di danced with a cold wet towel around her neck and her hair up. Other dancers from there had hand fans to cool themselves. I feel for them. The thing is it's not even summertime yet. We had a great time dancing to Di and Terry and with friends from the U.K., Canada, United States and France.

We love square dancing in person and virtually

Larry continued working on the square dancing tapes for four couples. He's having a lot of fun doing this project.

I played my Daily Challenges of Solitaire and Mahjong. The event was Event: Spider Mini of five games. It took me 18 minutes and 27 seconds to complete, which put me in 28th place in my group. I played Angry Birds Friends and Angry Birds 2. 

We didn't go to Liberty Hill to dance today so I did an hour and a half workout. I had a super workout.

Monday 5-25-26 Memorial Day, Dancing with Di and Terry & More

 

Memorial Day

Happy Memorial Day. I would like to take time to thank all the women and men, who have served in the Arm Forces and defended the United States.

We had a humid day with partly cloudy skies. The morning temperature was 65 degrees and the high was 89 degrees. 

We started the day out by attending Di Green and Terry McCann's Weekly C1 dance at 9:00 am for an hour and fifteen minutes. Today Di called six tips to 12 participants. Larry danced four of the tips with me. Terry danced part of the first tip. Di called, cued and danced by herself most of the dance. Di worked shopped Relay the Top because dancers were having problems and so was she. It's always hard to dance by yourself and keep track of seven phantoms. Some of the dancers were wearing red, white and blue shirts and one was wearing earrings of flags. I wore a flag hat for Memorial Day. Today was a special day for people from the U.K. because it was May Day. May Day is the Spring Break Holiday.  We had a super time dancing with Di and Terry and friends.

Get a partner and dance

Larry continued working on editing and bookmarking the four couple tapes in square dancing. He spent time playing with different programs to make it easy to turn over the tapes to someone else when we're traveling .
