7-19 TIPS Red White and Blue Dance

TIPS Red, White and Blue Dance

We went to the lake again this morning. There were a few more vehicles in the parking lot than yesterday and the wind wasn't quite as strong so we wake surfed along with air chairing and floating. While we were at the lake we saw people fishing from their boats and on the banks. On the way home we filled the boat with gas, amazing here it is July 19th and we hadn't gotten any gas in the boat since August of last year, 11 months, seems impossible. In all the years we have been boating we have never gone this long without getting gas.

Wendell Moore and Ed Larder setting up to call

This afternoon we went to Waco and danced with the TIPS Club for their Red, White and Blue Dance. We had three squares. Wendell Moore was the caller for the dance and between the tips he played a couple of songs. Ed Larder, the Coryell County Squares caller treated us by calling the last tip. We had a great time.

On the way home from the dance we stopped by and bought a Papa Murphy's pepperoni pizza for dinner. After dinner we watched a couple more documentaries, Pretty Old and Falling Up. Pretty Old was a cute documentary about 30 women aged 67-84 from across America and around the world descending on Fall River, Massachusetts to participate in the 30th anniversary of the Ms. Senior Sweetheart Pageant. It was very refreshing to see the great attitude towards life and how talented these ladies are. Falling Up was a documentary about a homeless Vietnam Veteran (Johnny Popp) in Michigan. It was a very good documentary showing why Johnny was on the streets and how he found happiness and got off the streets.
