8-7 A Day of DBD Plus Dancing

Friends dancing to Jimmy Johnson calling

We had a fabulous day of dancing to Jimmy Johnson at Briarcliff Community Center. Once a month a group of DBD dancers try to get together on a Sunday for an invitation only high level DBD dance. Jimmy sends out an e-mail to tell you where and what time the dance will be. We had two squares and one extra lady. Jimmy sets up the computer to tell the dancers which square they're in and who will be sitting out. There are two dance sessions, each are two hours long and an hour in between for dinner. This is the third time we have attended and each time we have a lot of fun. Many of these calls put you into positions you are not used to and you really have to think to get it right. By the time you leave the dance you're mentally exhausted. Briarcliff is 110 miles away, it takes us over two hours to get there and another two hours to get home. We left Flo at 11:30 and didn't return to her until 9:00. When we pulled in the garage and were walking to the door Flo barked. We were a little surprised considering she can't hear too well. When we opened the door she was standing there waiting for us. She was one happy dog. Larry took her out while I put the leftover stuff back into the refrigerator. Then we changed clothes, ate a little snack and relaxed. Larry and I read a little until it was time to go to bed. What a great day we had.
