7-31 Dancing with Brad Caldwell

In the morning I mowed and vacuumed the house. While I mowed Larry blew off the drive, weedeated and sprayed weeds. Our friends Larry and Patricia were meeting up with us at the house at 2 to go to Sun City. So I vacuumed the house while Larry vacuumed out the car. Then we had lunch.

 This afternoon the Sundancers had a Special Event with Brad Caldwell. It started out with mainstream square dancing workshop from 1:00 to 3:00. Then there was a plus workshop from 3:15 to 5:30. It ended up with an A dance from 5:45 to 7:45. Our friends Patricia and Larry came to the house and rode with us to Sun City. As we were leaving I gave Flo a snack, she was asleep so I didn't say good-bye. There were four squares for the plus workshop. Brad worked us on Load-the-Boat, Spin the Top and Fan the Top in different positions. After the workshop we decided to hang around to watch the A dance. The A dancers knew we were taking A1 lessons and invited us to join them. So Brad pulled up the A1 moves on the computer and called a couple of tips for us. There were two squares. It was a lot of fun doing A tips with experienced dancers. They were going to do the whole dance at the A1 level but we didn't want to take away from their A2 dance. Patricia went to Brad and told him we wanted to watch the A2 moves. They were shy one woman so Brad told them he would dance the woman position and call the dance. He did an outstanding job. Larry and Patricia had a great time and want to do it again. We had a super time. When we got home Flo was laying on the floor in the hall. I said hi to her and she got up to say hi to everyone. I was surprised to see that she hadn't eaten her treat. After Larry and Patricia left we had dinner.

In the evening we streamed a movie on Amazon called Oy Vey My Son Is Gay. It was about a Jewish family who finds out their son is gay. It wasn't very good but it entertained us for an hour and a half. After the movie we watched YouTube videos. I read until it was time to go to bed.
